1 Foul on Mirk?!,!, F U Refs!!!
- Thread starter Rambler Hawk
- Start date
The games are rigged. And cbs has a boner for Illinois.
Van Gundy is the biggest dipshit announcer. Insufferable to listen to
1:12 left and the official calls that. Lol.
Regardless, the officials didn’t decide this game. Overall, the officiating was fine. Iowa just isn’t quite at this level yet. Still a fantastic start to the BMC era.
It will be interesting to see how Illinois looks against Duke or UConn. Right now, I am tempted to think Illinois has a decent shot against either team.

Which one? They’re both awful.
The fat one with the stupid mustache. Listening to him talk about the goaltending non call and how by euro rules thats legal. Like that somehow fuggin matters
Yeah, I get it. But Jeff Van Gundy is insufferable.The fat one with the stupid mustache. Listening to him talk about the goaltending non call and how by euro rules thats legal. Like that somehow fuggin matters
Illinois is better than I expected. They are playing really well and locking guys up defensively. They obviously have a lot of size but they also have a bunch of guys who can score.
There is no reason they can’t compete against Duke or UConn.
If Wagler is off, Boswell is nothing special. Stoj is a baller…but .i just don’t see them winning it all. I thought they had a better team when UConn throttled them…
If the jump hooks from the seven footer are dropping Illinois is pretty tough.
He looks like the Assistant Vice President of Perishables for the Northern Midwest District of Walgreens.
We’ll see. That’s why they play the game.
Definitely could hear some bias to him. Hummel I think is one of the best. Shame they couldn’t just have a 2 man team.
but one thing I do agree with them the way they called first and 2nd half was opposite and unfortunate. All of a sudden calling more than the first. Frustrating
Of course they do. They have an elite pt guard, great size and are impossible to keep off the boards.
Illinois got more calls than Iowa, but didn't change the outcome.
Illinois played really well in the 2nd half. They are a tough team.

The officiating in this game was **** for Iowa. It was, and it's not debatable IMO. But you can't score 59 points and win anything worth winning. Stirtz had 24, Sage had 10 as the next best scorer. That will get you beat a LOT.
Our run in tourney was made possible because stirtz had more than one guy have really good games. Clemson had combs and Alvaro step up. Florida game banks, Koch and Alvaro. Nebraska Alvaro and sage. Tonight we didn’t get much help for stirtz.
Agreed - but the no calls underneath definitely swayed the game…the no goal tending call and trip by Wagler do stand out…
Just far too many self inflicted, uncharacteristic sloppy turnovers did them in IMHO…
Koch played great, but I think he just had his hands full with their tall timber to make a bigger difference.
I love Ben, but the decision to not play. Folgerous cost us the game.
Absolutely did not. Maybe we score a few more points, but Illinois big men were absolutely schooling him. They would have scored 80+ and we lose by 15-18 instead of 12.
Rough team and allowed to play that way all 2nd half.
Also, if Iowa could have matched up with them, even a little bit, height-wise and its probably a different outcome.
With their height and letting ILL shove Iowa around underneath, its no wonder that the rebounding numbers were so skewed.
Only 1 guy, but Sage made some pretty big plays.
Coop hit a couple/three 3s, too.
I wonder if we should have thrown Jiriak in there, if anything just to throw his weight around…
We will never know but I think you are wrong. Horrible move to bench the hero of the tournament for your team.
He would have had 3 fouls before Coach could blink, with that 2nd half officiating.I wonder if we should have thrown Jiriak in there, if anything just to throw his weight around…
Horrible move for a coach that made all the right calls to get us here? Then he all of a sudden got stupid? Do some of you even listen to yourselves before you post? I’m not saying Ben’s above reproach on certain quick game time decisions….but he obviously knew/saw things we didn’t to decide not to play him. Maybe trust him rather than second guess him. Just sayin’…
The trip was the worst no call. It was such an easy upgrade.Agreed - but the no calls underneath definitely swayed the game…the no goal tending call and trip by Wagler do stand out…
College ball needs the NBA clear path rule on fast breaks and the refs cutting out the run outs are a non issue.
Yep. I love Al and he had an insane tourney, but it wasn't his game tonight.
Watching AZ right now….crowd is insane, not sure Purdue will survive. I really don’t see the Illini winning it all….maybe I am just bitter though. Lol
Definitely don't think they have the sauce to win it all, but I think they could beat an over hyped Duke or UConn team.
He is a great coach. He made a major mistake by letting his pride get in the way. That’s the one thing he’s going to have to overcome to get to where he wants to go.
Mirk throwing some wind-up elbows, not a tech, not even a foul!
It’s amazing that the ticky tack calls were pretty even, but then they choose not to call crap around the rim….including an obvious goal tending. I guarantee the Illini won’t have it so easy from here on out….
??? I imagine the one doing the game last night.......He couldn't stop schlepping for Illinois....
While I agree, it seems many people underestimate the timing of calls, and how it affects momentum in games. Also stoppage of play affects momentum. That stupid horn thing as an example, or even these reviews that take 5 or 6 minutes, can really stop a team that's on a roll.
Well we've been saying for awhile that Folgeras was the X factor. He showed that again in this tournament. Then yesterday ZERO. It was REALLY obvious that Ben was very upset with his play in the first half. The other huge factor was the two fouls calls on Sage early in the first half.....
