It often feels like we are a better shooting team with contested 3's than we are wide open 3's.

Thought we'd probably lose this one , but I didn't think it would be this bizarre.

So they run over our player and it's a foul on us. Got it.

70 isn't going to win when the refs give them 15 points

Up until the highway robbery of the past 15 minutes, we were playing the best overall game of the season.

He's got to do something about the refs

Walter's inability to knock down an open shot is absolutely killing us right now.


He's 2-10 from the field and 1-6 from 3. Why is he not on the bench?

Never thought my bingo card would have:

Scott Drew ejected.

I'll go ahead and say this so I can get credit down the line: Jaikus on hot seat.

I'm thinking that is why the officials suddenly got so determined to help ISU.

I seriously cannot remember an important game where the officials seemed biased in our favor.

Always we get robbed. Always.

Bruce Weber is laughing his ass off at Drew's ejection.

He made a living as a 6th defender.

Replay shows no contact whatsoever by Bridges. But microdick has to assert control.

These officials need to be investigated for fixing games. Something is not right.


Blame sport book apps. Before they came along, you never saw it as bad as it is now.

the "foul" on bridges is absolutely wrong and was blown so early. something's not right in the arena with this ref crew.

That play describes my frustration. Bridges gets called for a slight body bump on one end. No call on Iowa St when they do the exact DAMN thing to Nunn on the other end.

If we can find a way to win this one, it will be massive for this team.

It could really get us going.

Holy molly another foul on us

Love how that was a foul but our getting mugged is perfectly fine

It's time to get over the officiating. We've got to win this game.

Focus every possession and execute.

they are fighting an 8 man crew with no leader...there's zero chance of that with this team.

B12 bball refs have always been sketchy, I'd say dirty but that's hard to prove. Always thought they tried to help teams, maybe for Vegas, maybe for "benefit" of the conference, maybe for other reasons. But, whatever, in any case they're either regularly intentionally "helping" teams or they're just terrible.
