"Big 10 Refs are bad and they should feel bad" (Basketball Edition)

goddammit

Overturning that is totally against the spirit of the rule. When you get the ball poked away it's supposed to go to the offense. If you break it down to the millisecond then of course it's on Mathews' hands. He had the ball! And it's being knocked away. Since he didn't re-touch it after losing the ball it should have been Michigan ball. That sequence of events happens nearly every time a player loses the ball.

Not many teams get boned as much UM

Refs were shit but another thing to work on: Our offense looked like it was being coached by Drevno in those last few posessions. Good lord it was bad and needs work, everything went out the window

Not to go to bed mad obviously didn’t watch games with Big 10 officiating

To supposedly make sure you get the call right, then they should be able to use it to call a foul one the Purdue guy for slapping Matthews.

It's baffling to me that we never get any semblance of home field advantage in the refs when everyone else does (Every game at the Breslin ever, Minnesota last year, OSU 2016 in football, etc.).

Exciting Hard Fought Great Basketball Game. Feel Bad for The Good Guys. Kids Played With Heart Passion Energy. Mo worked his Ass Off Defensively each possession, and routinely called on iffy fouls, while Haas, not called on either end. Frustrating, as a 10 minute review, must not present refutable evidence. Also, it undermined momentum/offensive flow. Loved Livers Defense, especially on Matias. I hate being a cliche Michigan Fan Whining about the Refs, but I am. It was just sad. I agree with the comments about people dropping too many F-Bombs. That being said, FUCK!

On Saturday Izzo will have his personal ref next to him on th sideline to politely listen to him wine all game

Perhaps I'm a masochist and don't realize it. Why must I emotionally invest myself in something that I know will be cruelly ripped away from me by a douchebag in zebra stripes and a donut-haired, professional masturbator? Fuck Delaney and his amateur refs.

If the refs had taken that long to review "the spot" they'd have called Barrett short...

Imagine if JB went all Semi Pro, and responded like Jackie Moon to Father Pat..... This Thought Makes Me Smile and Feel a Little Better. Thought I'd Share.

The refs shouldn’t just feel bad. They should go to hell.

Big Ten needs Michigan more than Michigan needs the Big Ten. Might be a good time for awards to remind the league of that.

The NCAA should institute a reply clock. If the officials cannot determine that call should be overturned in 30 seconds, then it stands as called.

I'm so sick of pointing this out, but... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BIG TEN BASKETBALL OFFICIAL. Officials are not tied to any particular conference in college basketball. 

How those 3 refs call that play tomorrow night. 100,000 times in a row they have given that to the offense, and the next 100,000 they will, too.

Let’s go to replay and call traveling every time a guy shuffles his feet when catching a pass. It makes as much sense.

Using the football equivalent, Mo didn’t turn him at all. Won’t be called in that situation the next 100 times you see it.

If you want to get technical, Haas hooked Mo first. (Also wouldn’t ever get called, but if they were looking for the make up call that we deserved....)

the last 6 seconds of this game are why the sport is garbage and I don't tend to watch with any emotional investment or foceus anymore.

6 seconds litterally took 6 mins. the refs made themselves look like idiots. M gets screwed in the most critical game of the year.

I was pissed in the aftermath because Ace got it perfectly right in his recap. That was a high level basketball game and if Matthews bricks a shot and Edwards drains a 3 at the buzzer, then so be it. I won't be happy, but Purdue won fair and square.

That was a robbery. The audacity to go over to the scorer's table and say "We saw two or three frames" is laughable. And then to call that ticky tack foul on Wagner after the ref sees Haas hook his free arm around Wagner's back is unbelieveable.

Seriously, fuck those refs for ruining an otherwise great game.

Holy crap is this thread full of drek and trolls.

I know it's extreme, but could we instuite a 1 month moratorium on any new member posting (anyone who joined after "The Game"). The exception is the new member who isn't an insufferable troll
