Looks like Jacob Young will be okay

[Kbee3]

A small part of me has been wondering if the refs (not sure if subconsciously or consciously) have been making up for the lack of home court environment with no fans by giving the home team an extra friendly whistle so far this year. I’d rather see all games played at neutral sites in a year like this than the BS we’ve seen this year so far. And we got the home cooking against Illinois.

I used to think the refs were subconsciously influenced by the crowd and the desire to make it safely to their cars after the game. I guess not.
How does a ref call things differently based on the color of the guy's uniform ? Sad.

Why would any Ref concern themselves with that or even let it enter your mind.
Go out and call the game the same for both teams....not that tough

His ugly face reminds me of the Grinch who stole Christmas. Which he did last night for RU hoops fans.

Did he make all the calls on Myles and Duke?

Throwing a hip into a guy at the apex of his jump when he's completely vulnerable is absolutely a dirty *** play and the guy should've been thrown out of the game. Could've been seriously hurt. As much as there were at least 2 BS calls on Myles, especially the last one, of course, the hip check on JY was worse, IMO.

Completely agree. JY had a full head of steam - from mid court - took off from WAY OUT, and that Garza-looking ugly-*** thug PURPOSELY took him out. How THE **** that wasn’t flagrant, let alone he wasn’t tossed, is mind-boggling. Could’ve ended his career - and more - with that nonsense.

So is there an official injury update on Young?

Loved the dunk attempt!! Kid is a firecracker. Hope he is ok. We need his energy.

Well that’s why I said possibly subconsciously. I agree it shouldn’t be that tough. But obviously something is effed up.

I saw no evidence that it was intentional. And can we please not call college athletes "ugly *** thugs?"

Sorry, but you're wrong on this. OSU's Young clearly bumps/pushes JY's upper body, while he's way up in the air, causing JY to go from vertical to horizontal on his way down. JY just lands normally if he's not hit. It was a dirty play and he should've been tossed.

Exactly.

 

[RUB1GTime]

Exactly.

Yes, you're exactly wrong and either way, there's no place for the "ugly *** thug" insult. This isn't the football board where certain posters can do and say whatever they want.

So the "Bounce back! We all good over here" tweet by Jacob... I agree that it's safe to assume from that wording that he doesn't have some crazy season-ending injury. That said, I also think it's foolish for us to interpret that Tweet as saying he is fine and good to go. When he says WE all good over here and bounce back he could easily simply be referring to the team as being OK and they won't let this loss get them down. He doesn't say "I'm good". So yeah, just wanted to point out that we probably shouldn't read his Tweet as meaning he is not injured and will not miss time. I hope that is the case though, fingers crossed.

While I certainly see your point, I tend to read the quote to suggest that when Jacob uses the pronoun "we" he is inferring that he is good since he is part part of "we" (team). I realize the optimism suggested by my interpretation, but it also points to the collective attitude that the team seems to exude.

Agree in general. Also, it's "implying" - just trying to help...
