It might be that the job of a referee is just impossible and it always has been humanly impossible but now replays and slow motion means we can see how bad it is.<div><div><br></div><div>The next question: will it or can it ever get better?

<div>77-73 to the Nittany Lions.</div>

<div>Downside:</div>
<div>1. Soft bounce passes that led to turnovers, guard play weak</div>
<div>2. Did not defend the perimeter, guard play weak</div>
<div>3. Couldn’t get off good shots from 3-range</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Upside:</div>
<div>1. The big guys played hard, forced a lot of fouls. Kreiner probably
has a broken nose though.</div>
<div>2. That’s all I got.</div>
