How many games are we going to play 5 against 8. Myles gets hacked not even close and no foul and than at least 3 more times where the announcer says I don't know how that wasn't a foul!! It so tough to keep winning this way we need to get some calls and we could be up at least 5-6 points
5 vs 8
- Thread starter richthedentist
- Start date
Stop it. Officiating was excellent other than 1 missed call.
How about we hit half of the chippies we missed and are up 10??
Reffing hasn’t been great today, but it also hasn’t been egregiously bad. The constant 5-8 complaints are tiresome. Save them for when they have merit, like the OSU game.
There are missed hacks on both sides ... honestly o think refs got the message last week .. and personally, I’d rather them call not a lot than call everything. Keep our guys in the game, our depth is our strength
Have you listened to the color commentator when he says 4 times I don't know how that wasn't a foul against Iowa; that doesn't mean anything!!
Even the announcers have commented on Mathis not getting calls and myles being hacked and how the whistle hasn't been going both ways. They arent Rutgers fans
I’m not really sure how you can say that. When the announcer says that the officiating has been “inconsistent“ that is announcer speak for “it has sucked.“ it has not been as one-sided as Ohio State, but the calls that have been most egregious have been against RU.
Come on man! It's bad on both sides. I expect both teams to be in the bonus by the ten minute mark.
Only 4 fouls were called against Iowa if I’m not mistaken.
What is telling to me is that RU has had the ball around the basket a ton, and Iowa has a ton of blocks, even though they are not a shotblocking team.
- We play very aggressively and are always going to get a lot of fouls called on us so you know that going into any game to begin with, agree?
- We only had 3 fouls called on us in the first 11 minutes of the game I believe.
- They pretty much let the teams play out there which is what you want. Nobody is in foul trouble at the half.
. Were there a couple missed calls, yes, but considering what that crew did last week to us I would consider that an “excellent” first half for them.
Im tired of people complaing about refs. Bad calls happen unfortunately. It looks bad on Rutgers fans always complaining
And 1 thing to note is on fast breaks we don’t foul to prevent the layups. We lightly foul and give them +1. Either foul for a purpose or give them the layup!
The reason why many of us are upset, is not that Iowa won the game, it's that the two WORST officials Bo Boroski and Kelly Pfeifer have effed us since we joined the B1G and to have them officiate together today was unconscionable. We lost because we shot 33% from FT line and Ron was uncharacteristically bad in the second half. His first off game where he missed four wide open threes.
Boroski is terrible. So is Courtney Green and Larry Scirotto. Been that way for a few years in the conference. Before then it was Ted Valentine. There never seems to be accountability even when it's horrendous officiating.
I'm as frustrated as everyone else, but just go out and win; good teams do that. This is a game at home with Harper back, that we should have won. Props to Iowa for making their FT's. We will win our fair share of games, but we have to make shots if we're not making our FT's. Let's go win the next 2-3.
Its not a reach just watch the non call against Geo the defender just totally grabbed his arm watch the link above just the final nail in the coffin by the refs
Now go back and watch the Harper rebound and dunk. Wonder why that was so open? Iowa's Murray was taken to the floor on a hook and hold leaving nobody there to challenge for the board or play D.
Stop putting every play under the microscope. Rutgers played well enough to win, but Iowa was magnificent down the stretch.
We gave them 3 different taps when they scored easy and ones.
Either clobber them good(as we get clobbered many times) or just let them score. No reason to give a love tap. All that does is give them an extra point.
Best of Luck,
Groz
Look, this team may just not be that good as we all thought. We are heading toward bubble territory unless they start beating ranked teams. When you keep it close, anything can happen.
I am not optimistic that we will see us ranked in the top 20.
We are going to have to make it to the semis in the Big TEn tournament to make the March tournament.
It was a good year. We are competitive but no longer a force in the Big Ten.

Totally disagree we are good we lost to OSU and we all know why and we went wire to wire with the Big 10 preseason favorite so not sure how you can say that
