    Refs

    Penn State was like something I’ve never seen. But the sad thing is… this level of horrendous officiating repeatedly against NU, is something that is now becoming common, year-in, year-out. I think it comes down to incentives: there simply are no consequences for B10 refs routinely screwing NU...

    Officiating in this game

    Where can one see this Big Ten statement you are referencing, PurpleWhiteBoy? This is where it's a judgment call: "Basket interference occurs when a player... Causes the basket or backboard to vibrate when the ball is... in the cylinder"... both Penn State players hit the rim / backboard, and...

    Officiating in this game

    '][/URL] If the refs wanted to get nit-picky while reviewing they could have easily called PSU #14 for a second goaltending or basket interference, as his hand smacks the rim while the ball is in the cylinder '][/URL] The whistle first blew at 6.1 and the ball is out of Barnhizer's hand. (If...

    Collins Post Game Press Conference

    Collins won't. He almost did that once after the Gonzaga screw job, but stopped short. He'll just continue playing the "nice guy" act with Big Ten officials... And they'll continue to screw NU season, after season, after season Fran McCaffrey once found the Big Ten refs in the tunnel after the...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Penn State

    Unbelievable. This is a comedy. Or a tragedy, but seriously, this can't be real. Play by play referring to the refs: "They've done a pretty good job tonight"

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Penn State

    From any angle you could see that was a goal tend, the entire bench knew it. Curiously all the refs swallowed their whistles. Odd.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Penn State

    NU won't, they never do A few things about this that are true: You will never see a Free Throw discrepancy this large against any other Big Ten team this year The TV play by play will talk about "foul trouble" but never the one sided officiating Chris Collins isn't going to do any of the...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Penn State

    It's now 34 Free Throw attempts for PSU, to 12 for NU. They can bump Barnhizer every time going up... no call. But if we breath on them it's free throws. At this point PSU players know it and will just sell any contact, they get it every time.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Penn State

    If Collins is so upset at the officiating (as he should be) and upset at the ticky-tack off-the-ball call with 5 seconds in the half (which he should be) then why not use one of your three timeouts to talk to the refs about it. Hell use a couple. PSU is full court pressing and often putting...

    How many teams have gone undefeated in their first three 1st round games?

    Further than that - is there any team that is undefeated in NCAA Tournament First Round games? It has to be very rare: teams that have made the tourney only one or two times are very low seeds. Teams that have made it many times have lost in the first round at some point. Did a little research...

    March Madness Game Thread: Northwestern vs. FAU

    So they incorrectly stopped play for an injury at the other hoop when NU was advancing the ball (that was incorrect by rule) Then they review for a foul, give FAU a flagrant 1 when Martinelli is looking the other way and can't see behind him... FAU gets two shots AND the ball??! If NU had...

    Game thread for Penn State vs. Northwestern

    A jump ball would have nice... rather than refs looking at five hands on the ball for a few seconds, the PSU players seeing what's happening... then subsequently turning to call a timeout, which is then granted :rolleyes: With B10 refs, we rarely get the close judgment calls in these situations

    What is the standard for video review in college basketball?

    Yes but given the way the ball went between the Illini player's legs and clearly was in extremely close proximity to that player, such that it may have touched the player's leg / shorts... in order to overturn the call that was made, you'd also have to have "indisputable evidence" that it didn't...

    What is the standard for video review in college basketball?

    I agree it was 50-50, but that's why the standard of review is important. If "indisputable evidence" is required in order to overturn the call that was made live, then a 50-50 call should stand as called. Heck even a 90-10 call should stand... with indisputable meaning... indisputable, 100-0.

    What is the standard for video review in college basketball?

    Is that confirmed - there are additional, non-TV cameras that go into the feed that referees have access to? If true, I did not know that... and knowing how most arenas are set up, I don't see where those cameras would be located.
