The whining about the refs makes us seem tame. Someone should remind them about Garza getting away with murder night after night
Not surprising. We'd be (and often are) the same way after a game like that.

Rutgers got HOSED not once, not twice but three times in this clip, including 2 fouls that should have gone Rutgers way and the opportunity to tie or win the game truncated.
MO
Wow that's a blast from the past. I wasn't on the boards then but I was ranting and raving to anyone who would listen
That BET game and the phantom second in Tenessee for our WBB team have to be among the all time screw jobs.
The Johnnies game was a joke.
You had to remind me of that Tennessee game. Makes my blood boil to this day. Seems like 100 years ago.
What a bad memory! That was the best example of a good old fashioned big east hosing - hated that league. The Catholic teams controlled everything including the officiating
The ref called the foul and stopped the clock with 2 seconds to play. Otherwise, Ron was ready to take those 2 seconds (he's already proven he doesn't need much time) and hit the winning shot with no time left and then they wouldn't have gotten their last shot by Murray away. So, I think they should be PRAISING the ref for giving them a chance.
Wow, seems it was three years before (2008) everyone's favorite BET game (2011). In my mind I always mistaken it as more recent.
Didn't Ron actually dunk the ball right before they blew the whistle. The basket was waved off and he was sent to the line. The foul allegedly happened prior to the hoop.
yes, they called a floor foul - and should have been continuation-2 -and1
plus the out-of-bounds on Paul
Iowa was gifted 3 chances to win.......... so boring hearing their tears today........

We would have still needed a miracle to win the ST. John's game. The women's game at Tennessee was a total screw job. Outright robbery.
A miracle from the refs stole that SJU. Even after multiple bad calls back to back we still would have had the ball with almost 2 seconds left with a chance to tie or win. That's not even close to miracle territory
Inject opposing B1G fans angst over losing to Rutgers straight into my veins
St. John's game still gets my blood boiling. Just outrageous stuff at the end of that game. It's making me angry right now.
There were multiple failings that final minute of the SJU game. Ending the game prematurely before we had a chance at a final shot was just one of them, and the icing on the cake. As MO [EDIT:] and Scangg stated earlier, two missed foul calls preceeded the refs running off the court before the game clock should have even expired.

No miracle needed. A technical should have been called on SJU for throwing the ball into the stands. We get 2 shots at the line plus the ball. We would have been in a great position to win it.
Before: āKick Rutgers out of the Big Ten!ā
Now: āKick Rutgers out of the Big Ten (because they beat us)!ā
Except Gil Biruta, who was the target of the Rutgers inbounds pass that was intercepted, was absolutely hammered which led Mike Rice and the bench to go ballistic. Rice didn't even notice the running out of bounds and chucking the ball into the stands by St. John's because he went crazy about the non-foul call. And that was after 2 minutes of an absolutely dreadful, swallow-the-whistle performance by the refs. Fran Fraschilla expressed his disgust with the refs disappearing act way before that final play. That was a total travesty brought to you by 3 of the most experienced officials around.
RU's favorite ref was doing that game...Tim Higgins
Thankfully the whole ref team of this game didn't call another game that year...much to the dismay of RU fans.
Yeah. the St John's game was FAR FAR worse than the call last night against Iowa with the no-calls on clear fouls and the guy STEPPING OUT OF BOUNDS with time on the clock and us at midcourt. The Iowa one comes down to: hey, that's a nickel-dimer as Raf would say with two seconds left in the game.
The Tennessee game is outright robbery. We won that game, time expired before any foul occurred except for the phony home cooking by the clock operator.

Iowa doesn't like the fact Rutgers is starting to be a factor in basketball, which scares not only Iowa but most of the schools in the B1G. Rutgers' success rubs them the wrong way. You'll see it soon in football too.
WPUknight, Zappa, Calinight, and other posters should have expected Iowa fans to be hateful after a tough loss. MrsScrew, I don't know how you survive over there while some of the Iowa posters give backhand compliments all day, every day, and twice on Sundays.

Iowa fans crying about the refs tells me that we have earned our way into the B1G.
Even whining Fran M gave our team credit after the game last night.
Its all good imo.

Matt painter got it right, after the Harper game winner, if you don't take care of business on the road crazy things can happen. Said another way the game is 40 minutes there are dozens of other opportunities to win the game either way. Plus who knows Ron may have made the shot anyway think he has done this kinda thing before. Joe Weienkamp makes a ridiculous bank shot off the backboard off the glass and wins a game at the RAC 2-3 years ago sh*t happens. Actually Fran McCafferty was pretty good about in his post game. The big problem was the call was completely out of context with the way the game was called, it may have been a reasonable call in a different context
Didn't read a single post in this thread but I will just say that a program that had goon Garza and whiney *** Fran should just STFU.

The angles in that tweet are the worst ones to see the foul. Second replay was after the foul was already committed.
Still a soft call though especially considering how the game was played

If you sneezed near Garza it was a foul.
Yeah, he stuck his right hand in on Harper Jr. early on (still no whistle and looked clean) and then put his left hand across Harperās stomach briefly and ref had the best angle on that left arm.

After watching the replay I feel a lot less sympathy for Iowa. They got at least two trips to the line on pristine blocks. Two clear shooting fouls were called before the shot. Number 0 was setting moving screens all game and never got called; only DR drew one of those calls and his was far less egregious.

This was one of the most egregious things to happen in the history of organized sports.

Thanks for this stroll down Pissmeoff Lane, guys.
