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

We got screwed use it as motivation this team is for real and are gonna continue to improve move on and Go Blue!!

No shot clock on. There is no way we should have lost that game in regulation. I thought Matthews started his drive way too soon. The refs were terrible at the end of this game though.

Monster freaks aren't supposed to get the phantom calls. WTF is Mo supposed to do with the refs protecting Haas like the secret service? 

On the bright side, our team is legit and will be good for a few years with all these youngs guys (Livers, Poole, Z, Brooks, Teske).

 

Ok. Back to raging. FUCK THE BIG TEN. GO CHOKE ON SOME BUCKEYES DELANEY.

must have been at the game.  Was probably breathing too hard for the refs / Delaney's liking.

This is getting quite absurd.  

Leave the fucking conference.  Fuck em.

That play where the possessor has the ball on his hand and it gets slapped away happens 7-10 times a game and it's never called like that. It always touches the possessor's hand last because that's just physics. That call was not within the spirit of the rule. Oh, and 3 absolute horseshit calls against Wagner tonight.

Tough last possession, with a timeout in hand. 4 seconds, inbounding at half court, is plenty of time to set up a shot. Great effort tonight.

I have never seen such a ticky tack foul called in that situation.  Just bizarre, especially for the home team to get boned like that.  The NCAA should take some pride in its product and hire some full time, professional referees, because the amateurs they use now are ruining both major sports.

I'm pretty sure he patted Haas on the butt too.

They slowed it down so much my HD tv blew up cause it was so blurry. Wtf, How can you know he touched it last when his hand was one big blur

Gene was brutal tonight.  The refs decided they did not want to play overtime, so they just ended it there.  Terrible ending to an otherwise great game.

For as much people complain about football replay, basketball’s is much worse. They get it wrong just about as often as they do right. Which is hard using hindsight.

lead the country in complaining about officials. And, using the eff word.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if they are waiting on the highest bidder from Vegas to see which way they should call the play.

If you're going to call that touch foul on Wagner in the final seconds, how do you not call the foul on Purdue at the other end?

I've never seen that strip out of bounds go to the team that stripped the ball unless it goes off a knee or leg. Never. That happens 20 times a game and it never goes to the team that stripped it. It's either a foul our out of bounds on the strip team. What was that call? How did belein not lose his mind? I would have gone George Brett with the pine tar. I would still be sitting cross legged at half court right now. This was very shady officiating and that's become a trend in many sports. This isn't fun anymore.

As a certified basketball official, I can say replay sucks and the reversal call on Matthews was horrible. Instant replay takes away the speed of the game and importance for refs to do their job. Show that play to any person at game speed it is UM ball. That one kid from Purdue who kept hitting threes kept pushing off screens that could’ve been called, then with no indisputible evidence they overturned the possession to Purdue's. That hook foul was a tricky tack foul that was a correct call to make, but still they were awful.
