I can’t believe that any Rutgers basketball fan would have the audacity to complain about the refs. Your team’s entire identity is built around fouling multiple times on every single defensive possession, knowing full well the refs can’t possibly call every foul.
Talk a walk buddy. Go watch some film with Fran and watch him correct your silly *** on your every allegation that Rutgers fouls on every possession, and listen to Fran when he tells you that is one of the best if not the best defensive teams you will see on film. Go back to your hole, clueless!!!!

My glasses are fine here, as the play by play says otherwise.

I went back and watched the fouls after they were 4-4 at one point. Foul 5 wasn't a foul on your big. CJ slipped but got the foul call. Foul 6 was on Johnson and was when he stuck his leg out. He would have been fine if the leg wasn't out. Foul 7 was on Harper and he was holding Garza's arm on the rebound. Foul 8 was a 50/50 call but I would lean towards not calling it especially the way it was being called all game. Foul 9 he pushed Garza in the back initially. Refs were frustrating with how they changed from half to half. I'm not arguing that. Both teams got some benefit of the calls.

Cannot but if you are referring to play where the Iowa guy , I guess it was Toiussaint bumps Harper causing him to go out of bounds , that was a clear foul and bump. They even replayed it on BTN and Bardo pointed out the bump.
Bardo says on the telecast initially he thought it was a foul but then after the replay said "Wait, hold on a minute." I wish I could cut the clip to be able to show it.

It was a foul but Harper also embellished a lot if we're talking about the same play.

The Mulcahy call pissed me off the most. Nothing there and Iowa throws the ball off the rim there and got bailed out.

Overall refs weren't a problem and not why we lost.

I saw the clip live and on replay. It was a slight bump. It wouldn’t have been called except that Harper was going out of bounds so had to call it. Kinda like the good refs let a little contact go on a slam when there is body contact but if slam is missed you get a late whistle. Ref was not initially going to call that foul.

Kudos to you for going actually taking the time to review this. Having said that, based on my recollection from seeing it live:
  1. Your reference of 4-4 fouls on each side includes Fran's technical (whereas I specifically didn't).
  2. It wasn't just the disparity in having the next five fouls all called on RU, but more importantly all the contact under the Rutgers basket that wasn't called. Even Bardo was befuddled at it.

Okay just watched it again. Did you not see your guy bump Harper ? Again , would not have been called except Harper was going out of bounds so ref could not let it go like he originally was going to ..Pretty simple.

Come on though, that little bump would not send him flying otherwise every time he drove to the basket he would go flying. He was bumped and jumped on his own in the air. We can agree to disagree but not a foul. Bardo even says he doesn't think it was after the replay.

It was a foul but Harper embellished it. It is what a smart player does. As stated it was not going to be originally called but Harper gave the ref no choice.

you can understand an Iowa fan defending his team and the refs but when a RU fan sees the need to defend his own pseudo expert comments so rigorously at the "expense" of RU it says a lot but most know the routine

It wasn't the amount of PFs that hurt us as much as who got the personal fouls. Caleb McConnell has been running the starting PG the last 6 B1G games and facilitates our offense. I have a problem with a player who has had 6 total PFs the last 5 BIG games, getting 4 vs Iowa?!? and 3 early in the 2nd half, 19:33, 17:06, sub out 16:53, sub in 13:50, 13:03, sub out.

20 pts., 5/5 2 PF 34 min. Neb
2 pts. 8/4 *0 PF 29 min PSU*
4 pts 7/3 *1 PF 31 min Illinois*
10 pts 6/0 2 PF 27 min Ind
10 pts 12/1 *1 PF 29 min Minn*
6 PFs in 150 minutes played

For the year, 27 PFs in 408 minutes/18 games
1.5 PF/gm, 1 PF every 15 minutes played

Iowa
1st half 5 pts 1/4, 2nd half 1 pt 0/1
4 PFs in 25 minutes, 3 in 4 minutes played, 20:00-13:03.

He was tied with Jacob Young for least personal fouls on the team with 27 PFs besides Carter 20 and Doucoure 9. You don't go thru a season rarely fouling to a foul machine. I want to know if any of those fouls were legit, I don't buy it.

He had to “[jump] on his own” because he’d been bumped out of bounds and landing would have turned the ball over.

Not sure if you will be able to see this because you have to be signed in, but it would be at the 1 hr 15 min mark. Take the Rutgers glasses off and honestly tell me if you think that is a foul.
I still maintain it was a foul. To me it's damn near same as when player is sliding along with player who is dribbling and he hold hands straight up but puts his knee in front of ball handler as he goes by. That too is a fouk

Watching these goofy arguments about refs and the apparently endless string of pernicious, biased foul calls is like watching the Monty Python Argument Clinic sketch.

I think it was still a foul probably but he did obviously flop as well.

I mostly just think it's a foul because that bump would've caused him to go out of bounds even without him playing it up I think. If that bump occurs further from the line I wouldn't think it was a foul generally.

OP this..thank you for saying it. I hope our fans in the game thread mature. Its not always the refs. There was a stretch where RU lost composure and not playing well defensively, sure there were alot of fouls called on RU, because we didnt handle that situation well. When we settled down we actually got the lead. You have to respond, we blinked for a few minutes and paid for it
Its not composure problem when every player on the floor is playing out of POSITION 1-5 when the refs were intentionally calling questionable fouls on our 5 position everyone on the floor is not used to playing the 5 in any offensive set is why we "lost our composure"

We got slightly outplayed by a very good team. Deal with it.
Is that really what you think? Refs took Myles out of the game almost instantaneously, knowing Cliff couldn't play. You don't think that affected the outcome of the game? Wow. Worst foul calls I can ever recall seeing in a basketball game.

The moderators should be locking this thread so no one actually responds to people commenting to posts from a year ago to flame posters on views on a different game entirely.

I've got a report in to that effect.

We lost this game cause had no depth.

Yes refs sucked, but had we had Cliff healthy, Young not get hurt, Magg and Caleb dressed we win easily and Myles foul out is likely moot

Honestly I think we slightly outplayed Iowa.

Iowa had 19 or so pts in the last 10:30 on two made field goals. Amazing defensive effort. But the damage was done by the refs in the first 6-10 minutes. Was enough for Iowa to hold on.

Yeah we missed a some opportunities and no ones going to argue that.

But the fact that some boomers on here can’t understand that the way officiating impacts a game isn’t limited to the FT column is more than a bit annoying at this point.

Andddddd here we are a year later LOL

Relevant thread. Next time make a new one and link the old so people don’t complain and have your very good point taken away.
