We got flopping and piss poor officiating. Little Ricky had a right to be pissed. If the Nebraska shooter goes straight up and shoots, it may have produced the same result, but after jumping into Coffee, he deserved a no-call airball. It wouldn't have been popular with the home crowd, but it would have been right. Just gutless officiating that will encourage more flopping and jumping into the defender.

Yeah it was a bad call....to be honest, in my day that would have been a charge. The offensive player initiated the contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckraker Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I realize the charge/blocking call is hard to make, but it seems like the refs get it wrong more than they get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PAC 12 is just a mess in both major sports right now. Oregon in 2017 is the only team to make the Final Four in the past decade, and they’ve been shut out of the CFP for the past 4 years since Oregon made the first championship game back in 2015. And in basketball this year, Washington is the only team in the Kenpom top 50 at #36. Not good. Clay Travis dove into this yesterday. Each school got like $2.6M last year. Doesn't each Big10 school get $45M per year? That whole conference has just tanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 9 hours ago, FW_Hoosier said: Basically that the PAC 12 network is making its member schools no money... Taking into account the cost of buying back TV rights from local providers so the PAC 12 Network can have the rights to all the games, schools like UCLA and Cal are netting less than $1M per year in TV revenue. “The Big Ten and SEC networks have three or four times the audience of the Pac-12 Networks and are believed to generate three or four times the revenue for the schools, as well.” I use to get the Pac 12 network on Xfinity but now it has been taken off of my sports package.

Yeah, it can be a difficult call to make. But in that game last the ref should have absolutely swallowed the whistle...it cost Minny the game.

Shooter jumps into the vertical defender and gets two free throws to win. That call is made on the defense every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 What I hate now is the circle underneath the basket because I think all the refs look at is the feet and not whether the player is got there in time. As for last night that call against UM was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muck turdue ! 2 of those 5 losses weren't in conference so not sure why you're mentioning those (one was to a ranked Florida State team and the other was to Texas). The 3 conference road games we've lost were to Michigan, MSU, and Maryland. Michigan and Michigan State have played easier schedules than Purdue this year. Not sure why you keep harping on this.

Weird. I dropped the sports package from Xfinity, when they dropped the Big Ten Network from it, in the West. That's when I signed up for Hulu in order to get the Big Ten Network. I did not drop Xfinity, when they picked up the Big Ten Network again, since they put it back on the sports package, and I could get the Big Ten Network on Hulu. Having said all that, I get the Pac 12 Network on Xfinity, as a regular channel, not on the Sports Package. Yet, Hulu does not have the Pac 12 network. I think some of it has to do with what they Xfinity calls a "footprint." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
