GoshenFan84 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Sucks that IU lost. IU picked a bad time to go on their patented scoring droughts late in the 2nd half. Awful officiating - they can go look at who touched it while seeing the obvious foul, but can't do anything about it. Gotta win these last 2!

They are just terrible abs have been for years. They let the emotion of the home team get to them.

That was just terrible. I am almost never a blame the refs guy, but this is a blatant exception. Especially on the Durham three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I am sorry but that was the biggest hose jobs by the refs I have seen this year. Every time they went to the basket we got a fouled called and when we went to the basket and got clobbered but no calls. Have no idea how they missed that elbow that Williams hit RP with but I guess they are a little blind. How was that not a ump ball at the end of the game. I am very proud of how tough this team played and to me they outplayed UI except for the free throw discrepancy. We out rebounded them, we hit more 3's and had more assist and them so the only difference was free throws and the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, IU has work to do at home next week, but losing a quad 1 road game by 1point doesn’t take IU from solidly in to out of the conversation. Oh no I agree I worded it wrong. Sorry. I mean to me I think we are still in even with the two loses this week. Probably just dropped us to the last 10 seed right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took away nearly any chance we had to win. Al should have been shooting for the lead with 30 seconds left. We executed the missed free throw perfectly, only to have Phinisee get fouled without a call and a timeout granted that should have been a held ball possession to us.

This was a very good team that is developing right in front of us. If Al has a chance at the line down 2 with 3 free throws it might be a win.....and whatever the officiating did there deciding Illini had control of the ball was just a joke. I seeing nothing but positives right. Cost us a tourney appearance? My second wow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the difference here isn’t a bad call or two, it’s that every single call in the last two minutes of a close game went against us, when they should have put us on the line for 5 free throws.

Can someone elaborate on Illinois throwing elbows and getting away with it? Everyone seems to talk about an elbow against Rob but nothing was called? I didn’t get to watch, was at the park with the kiddos. Rob and a Ill player (Williams?) tied up , then the guy threw his elbow at Rob's head and followed it up by getting in his face while Rob stayed cool. Refs did nothing.

hoosier_exotics Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Team has played very hard lately. CAM seems to have finally gotten these guys to give a crap. Overall good game. everyone knows we dont have shooters, so the scoring droughts will come. I normally dont scream officiating, but we got hosed for sure. We are still going to the NCAA's with one more win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not disagreeing but I have always had the belief that never put yourself in a position where the refs can win/lose a game for you. We hit those last free throws and the trip/fall time out call doesn’t happen and we’re tied But I agree it wasn’t called well today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFan4Life Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Disappointed but once again I'm pleased with the effort. A few thoughts: *We had different guys hit big shots. *Would have liked to see Trayce hit those two freethows. Bad time to miss the only two of the game. *Refs missed some calls with the biggest being hitting of Durhams elbow on that three. *Rob played a good game. Yes, he lost his footing at the end but it was an effort mistake. *We can still make the tourney. Need to beat Minnesota Wednesday. *Some of our fans need to gain perspective and quite attacking OUR kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It completely changes the “position we put ourselves in”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
