Oh, come on. He’s not a little *****. He’s a great player. I wish we had him.

I wasn't commenting on this game. Im talking about just about every game across all sports. Every fanbase does it and its annoying.
I'm not at all stating that some refs don't suck and that refs don't make bad calls.
Yep. He’s currently an offensive liability. His defense isn’t so good that he deserves to start. 2-11 today, 2-10 from 3. This team needs better
Could have at least gotten his money's worth.
I personally, can take a couple bad calls, but not repeated soft calls against one team and nothing on the other team like the second half of this game. The refs turned this game in the second half IMO.
It don’t happen at home either. Iowa is an officiating pawn.
Hard Pass…same with Fears. Give me that freshman kid from Illinois though…
Would he be a little ***** if he played for Iowa? A real basketball fan appreciates good players, good games, good coaches. You only call him that because he played a great game against us
Rather get a tech for a people’s elbow. Go out in style.
Yes. Other than the tech, I didn’t think they called anything egregious against us. But it’s trash when Boyd gets to forearm shiver his was to the rack and just straight up not call anything against them.
I’m content with an equally trash whistle but this wasn’t that.
Dang it, man. Bennett is a near-superstar but gets no help.
Can’t have 4 of 5 starters that provide almost nothing offensively.
Can’t have 4 of 5 starters that provide almost nothing offensively.
That’s what’s starting to settle in for me as the season winds down. Iowa has a legit all time talent and had nothing consistently go along with him all year.
There’s an entire thread dedicated to them, not sure the selection committee reads it.
Wrong, did you see his antics all game? Smirking, cocking off, comments towards Iowa players all game.
Do you see any of our guys doing that this season? He had 27. Big deal.
I hope Iowa gets another shot at them in the BIG tourney . . .
In a perfect world...
Ben McCollum post game presser
"Let me start by giving credit to Greg Gard and his awesome team. In a rough and tumble league like the BIG, to go almost 12 minutes in the second half without committing 1 single foul. None. Not a single offensive foul using your forearm, Not a single foul for hand checking, not a single foul in the paint. Not one moving screen. None. That is truly remarkable. Wisconsin has always been known as a clean squad, they don't ever hold or hack. Never known to play a dirty game. I also want to give credit to the officials for clearly calling this game as it was. Almost 12 minutes without a single Wisconsin foul, in this league tells me that they were doing the job the way they were supposed to."

Do you get it now? Wisconsin with what, 3 fouls in the ENTIRE second half, and none for what, about the first 12 minutes? LOL
Welcome to Iowa men's basketball on the road in the BIG. It's 8 on 5 every damn night, and it has been for at least the last half century. How about the tech on Iowa's Howard? The Wisconsin kid elbows him, then throws his shoulder into him--no call. So Howard responds in self defense and, whaddaya know--foul and technical foul. That's bullshitt, no matter how you spell it. But like I said, we knew that goin' in. But it doesn't make it right or any easier to accept.
It's not that difficult. You should try it some time. Watching Iowa beat the livin' tar outta Michigan today was great fun. Sorry you missed it.
And for the next 38 minutes it continued . . .
That's the key word in the sentence, consistency. Ben searches a lot by changing lineups, but he can only do so much.
The one call in the 2nd for me was when Tate tried to grab a loose ball. #7 comes barreling into Tate. Ball ends up out of bounds to Wisky. No foul there. Play on.
Post game show says he played 40 minutes.. Why Ben, he had to be gassed. Alot of short arm 3s
