This. He was going to foul out of that game no matter what happened. Any objective person who watched that game and doesn't come away with that conclusion is just fooling themselves to make them feel better that somehow this all "evens out"

The fourth and fifth fouls called on Myles were disgraceful and looked every bit the type of called made by a ref on the take. Myles is out there battling in the trenches and gets screwed and shown no respect as one of the top centers in the league(they make those calls on Garza?). Myles is maybe our most even keel, unemotional player. He knows how important he is to the team and knows he needs to stay on the court. He never blew his lid on the court. Rutgers is a player now. We count as the song says, "We're not going to take it anymore!" Should he have gone that far? No. Do I have a problem with him? Absolutely NOT! Myles should should go Connor Mcgregor and say, "I apologize........ TO ABSOLUTELY NOBODY!"
You’re right… It only takes one roof to be on the tag Dash and they rotate!

The B1G absolutely should take some action however when has the B1G done anything to help Rutgers.
We can’t count on it.
Myles is 100 percent on point, he wasn’t even allowed to play the game proper. I skewered the refs in the podcast this week. Just farcical job by them
yes, but the main concern of the fans was Johnson fouling, regardless of starting or not starting.... we were spot on with that
Bardo criticized at least 3 of the 5 calls as they happened. When was the last time you heard an announcer do that?
And I'm sure he would give you an even hotter take of what he thought of the calls off camera
Maybe...but the friggin iphone dictation sux.
I said it "only takes one ref to be on the take...and they rotate!

4th and 5th fouls were fabricated by refs. They were not questionable. He was just standing there both times. Two of his other fouls were borderline but that happens. Unfortunately it happens to him far too much and he deserves to be pissed. No way should he have fouled out yesterday.
I think your team needed this screw job to remind them who they are and how they got here. I expect an angry aggressive team moving forward.
The 60 min condensed version is on now. I think its doucoures 3rd foul just a complete fabrication as well. Literally nothing
Good point, with all the rightful disgust about the foul calls on Myles---iirc a couple on Duc were questionable, to say the least, too.
Agreed. I wasn’t sure which foul but thought he head a couple of really bad calls on him as well.
Hope you're wrong.
Myles expressed the emotion at the time when he was hurting the most. Maybe he could "write an apology" to the refs.... like that POS from Mary did after purposely trying to take our QB out of the game(Vedral ankle twist)...
Regardless: we're Rutgers and we F'ING GAVE AT THE OFFICE!!!
Or perhaps dictate it and have someone from the Braille Institute transcribe if for the refs in question.
MO
Can't watch this game again. Too painful and nauseating.
I HATE OSU'S YOUNG and to a lesser extent Liddrell (sp.). They play physical....we're not allowed to cross the street!!
MO
And he's right. Those officials were an abomination. Worst officiating since the days of Burr and Higgins.
Thanks for the clarification MO - I was concerned I was the only one who didn't get the original.
Does anybody else think there's a connection to Myles making a comment that "they ref's don't like me" mentioned on air during the Ill. game and then his treatment vs. OSU next game? I did and do.
Believe so and it wasn't the official right under the basket literally right in front of the play that called the 5th
Didn't realize he had said theat. Well there you go big time retribution. And I said you can expect more after his tweet.
So true. Bardo rightfully claimed that Myles gets zero respect from league refs.
But the true freshman was hurt, thus we were not able to follow that plan.
Duke is our 3rd string center and was not effective vs OSU. To say starting him would have given us a better chance of winning is a reach.
