Arkansas senator files resolution criticizing referees after NCAA loss to UNC

Arkansas is not taking its loss to UNC in the NCAA tournament well.

Arkansas Democrat Sen. Keith Ingram filed Senate Resolution 19 on Thursday title “Encouraging better education of NCAA basketball officials.”

The bill laments the University of Arkansas’ 65-72 loss to the University of North Carolina on March 19.

The loss, according to the resolution, “left fans trying to find the strength to carry on, children crying, grown men weeping, cows unable to produce milk, chickens ceasing to lay eggs, and lambs lying with lions.”

And, in order to “protect any school and fan from such highway robbery in the future” from “a pinhead dressed in stripes” the resolution calls on the “NCAA Committee on Officiating, Refreshments, and Trinket Sales” to “make the video of the dastardly call mandatory viewing for any current or future NCAA basketball officials.
