Again 5 v 8 AND…

[richthedentist]

We win despite the horrific refereeing in the second half between foul calls and missed calls just absurd
Pikell just said it again we can’t defend the foul line that’s his way of saying the refs sucked

Yeah, it was clear in that interview that he wasn’t happy

I am waiting for help like that in the OSU rematch

Pike needs to get teed up and intimidate the refs. Refs take liberties with us. Unlike with Fran or Izzo who they’re afraid of.

Refs missed some calls but my biggest issue is the inconsistency between the two halves.

They realized how few fouls they called in the 1st and came out blowing the whistle for everything in the 2nd.

Overall I’ve seen way worse. We need to be better. Not in good positioning multiple defensive sets…and Paul with not 1, but 2 flops. He also had the bad foul late in the game.

I have been saying this for 6 years now!! Pikell has NEVER gotten a T since he has been at RU he can talk to them all he wants but until like you say he gets that T we will never get any respect or calls from the refs
Again like Purdue if the reffing is even somewhat fair in the second half we run away with this game

If Pike gets a T yesterday we probably lose.

Maybe but if he gets it early in the second half we probably get a few more calls sooner

We need to learn to defend without fouling since we run into this problem every game. I know it’s not the truth that the whiners on this board want to hear but oh well. Crying about bad refs every game is such a bad look.

Ref icing Cam and telling him to tuck Jersey in with game on line at the line was horrendous officiating. B1G and officials should be ashamed.

Good point, we're probably one of the only fanbases that do that. People are starting to notice.

So does

Northwestern doesn’t foul. The 2nd best defensive the league doesn’t foul? I guess RU suddenly outfouled them four to one? Cliff never gets fouled underneath? Caleb wasn’t pushed out of bounds? Cam doesn’t lead the league in steals? Ref didnt suddenly tell Cam to fix his Jersey with the most important foul shots of the game on the line.

I suppose Ohio State didnt step on the line either or illegal catch didn’t happen or the clock didn’t start running late? We should just accept it. Gotcha!

Excellent win but people trying to claim or hide the clear bad whistle tonight are idiots. Even Pike was aware of it. They were in the double bonus with more than half the second half to go!

We both play very similar brands on D, pressure and physical. It’s asinine to believe there wasn’t a biased whistle tonight. We overcame it with some clutch plays and Cam having some stones.

Multiple things about a game can be true. This and the OSU debacle are the only games it’s been really evident in my opinion, particularly second half of today/last minute of osu.
