MBB - Wisconsin Game Open Thread (BTT)

If Irvin and Spike played like this all year we'd be easily in the tournament.

How the hell is that now a foul

to avoid the half and go in with a lead!

Wisconsin is doing a lot of driving to the basket. They're not settling for jumpers.

That Sam Dekker is now Mr. Untouchable Bulldozer. Should be a fun game if that continues...

Wisconsin and Dekker are bullying M and not getting called. There have been at least 3 or 4 no calls.

Once again a team is able to be physical and plow through people because they're known for it. Against US that is.

So apparently Dekker can't do wrong. He's traveled, pushed off with his elbow, and he should've been called for a charge. He could get away with Murder and these refs wouldn't call a foul on him.

Shout out to the gritty weird guys!

Wow, we are getting totally jobbed on the calls the last 5 minutes or so.  Otherwise this lead would be double digits.  No call has gone Michigan's way in more than 5.

Wow the refs can whistle wisky

Whoa now...don't get too crazy refs, Wisconisn wouldn't think of fouling anyone.

Wisconsin called for (not commits) first foul of the game with 3:53 to play before half.

Fuck that....make a goddamn call, Max got mugged

That wasn't over the back, it was entire-body-ontop-of-the-back.

Literally tackled Max to the ground

Some bad officiating right here.

Big two minutes hear. Need to hang tough.

Wisconsin came to a mugging and a basketball game broke out. Nobody told Michigan about the mugging. The refs are getting a cut of the profits.

Well it was fun...

I'll be happy when Beilfeldt doesn't get his 5th year

Well, the refs kept them in it long enough for momentum to shift.

then there is an over the back that isn't called and the refs call it out of bounds on Biefeldt.  I shut the game off.  The refs are a bunch of Badger slappies. . . 

Pattened choke to end the half.

I hate when the refs let Wisconsin do this. It's worse because Wisky doesn't actually have to do it anymore, they have a great offense. Stop letting them plow people over.

Damn, nobody closes out a half like we do. Good job though to only be down five against these guys.

they don't know what a foul is? somebody show them then

down 5, we can come back.

My god do we fall apart before the half

Fuck these officals. Make proper calls. This was an easy half of ball to officiate, both teams playing well, so every call was obvious yet only ones against Michigan were. Fuck you, pricks.

Why does it never fail that immediately when I start watching, we give up a huge run and lose the lead? I know that's happened a lot this year but it always seems to be right when I turn on a stream. I'll tune in, go "hey we're actually winning!" and then watch us whip the ball at the net aimlessly as if we forgot it has to go THROUGH to get points, while handing it away at the other end.

Do whatever the fuck you want, anywhere on the court, and never get called for a fucking foul. 

It's ridiculous. 

Just ridiculous. 

They have five fouls to give because those officials are swallowing hard on their whistles. 

Do your fucking job, zebras. That was just FOUL. 

and the officials would be like, "no foul." 

Referee crews can be different in their judgment on acceptable style of play. Wisconsin has the ideal referee crew working this game for them.

I hate Bo Ryan

There was one out of bounds call that the ref called to Michigan, looked to Bo Ryan, then changed it to Wisconsin (it should've been Michigan ball), then the refs missed an obvious Wisconsin offensive foul on the next possession, and then the no call as Bielfeldt was tackled on the rebound. Those are my complaints.

I wasn't expecting a win today. But the officials have been a joke all game long. Wisconsin has gotten away with pushes and a no charge. A ball even went off a Badger player, we were given possession and then the officials overturned it after Bo Ryan and the Wisconsin bench lost their shit.

Again, I wasn't expecting any miracles but the refs need to do their fucking job.
