That was really a bush league foul on Gillis. At the end he yanked down, which is where the flagrant should have been called. Could easily have been ejected for that if the refs had their reading glasses on when watching the replay.

It was called correctly, but it's the first time I've ever actually seen the first to touch out of bounds call actually made

Edey and getting away with that elbow clear out

That commercial was cringe

I know this is a joke, but there's enough truth behind it that it really illustrates how out of control refs let certain coaches who have reputations as hot-heads get vs other coaches. It's a big problem, at least in the Big Ten. I mean Holtman gets tossed for this, but Izzo is screaming in the refs' faces all game long, and Fran does the same and comes nearly over to IU's bench and nary a whistle in sight.

Penn State shot it's first free throw with ten minutes left...in the game.

MD shot ten more threes than IU, while shooting three fewer shots overall, and still got 29 ft attempts to IU's 12. When they refused to call the flagrant on Maryland, I knew we had no chance. It was BLATANT and clearly intentional. He honestly should have been thrown out for it.

This kind of stuff objectively negates the idea that the refs don't decide outcomes of games. Absolutely their fault IU is losing tonight. I get it. IU played like crap, but in a properly officiated game, it's down to the wire at worst.

Impossible to overcome how unbalanced the officiating is with JHS also going 1-13 or something like that

It was so obviously intentional. Such crap

That was intentional

Maryland fans don't know anything about basketball lol

"Suspended!? Doug, kick him off the tour!"

This one's for @Reacher

Hopefully free from this board.

No, absolutely not. This is the Big Ten. It goes on everywhere.

I don't care what anyone else says, that was a hard fought road win. Minny played out their ass and punched way above their weight class tonight.

They are hitting some crazy tough shots.

You're not wrong, but when you rebound it while you're choke holding your teammate because it falls right into your hands and your one-armed push shot goes in, luck is also on your side.

Minny had a ton of luck in that half

Maybe it has something to do with volume, too?

Best shot quality on the graph with average shooters.

Lol OSU loses by single digits after getting dominated the whole game. Playing the kenpom long game

Maybe OSU will finally drop more than one spot in kenpom after this game

As I saw it explained elsewhere, it's also because Kenpom is more an efficiency metric than a wins and losses metric, so, even though OSU lost five straight, they were within the "safe" margin that Kenpom predicted them to be in within those games, so it doesn't hurt their ranking as much. Basically, from the way I understand it, as long as you outperform what Kenpom "predicts" your performance to be, you'll "improve" in the metric. So if you're expected to lose by 10, and you lose by 5, you're more likely to move up than down. I could be wrong, but I saw that explanation, and it makes sense given OSU's seeming inability to be affected by those rankings. Plus, we have several double digit losses, and OSU only has one.
