I mean, I'm no fan of Beard but these are quotes from the article:

“They make more free throws than we shoot, but I have no major complaints about the officiating. Hard game to [be an] official.”

“I thought they were the more aggressive team and they did a good job drawing those fouls,” Beard said. “But the free-throw differential was big. To overcome that you’ve got to do something special in the game.”

“Give Mississippi State the credit,” Beard said. “They were the more aggressive team and played great today at home. Was a good college basketball game.”

Damn that's a really misleading title based on those quotes.

I don't think he was blaming the refs in this instance. Contrast what he said in the above article to what he said after we beat them in Starkville last season:

It's amazing to me that Smith and Bell, the two five men here, they have zero fouls in the game. I'm just reading what's on the stat sheet. I won't let my personal opinion be known because that's not how college basketball works. Two physical players, in an SEC game, late in February, they played 40 minutes at the five spot and have zero fouls in the game.

Some basketball people might take a look at the film, not just the box score, not just the coaches' comments, but actually look at the game. Zero fouls on guys that are two physical players. On the other end, we have multiple players foul out of the game. Again, give Mississippi State credit. A lot of these possessions where the most aggressive person won the possession. But, in all my years of coaching, I have not been involved in a game like that.

Just a very unique game for us tonight. Not a typical box score.

Someone should tell Beard that the refs might call more fouls on their end if they weren't constantly distracted by their bald, roided up, towel boy spinning a towel over his head
I’m not sold on the roid part. He didn't look like a meat head. Unless by “roided“, you mean “hemorrhoided”.
