Heaven, Iowa
On the same play, even when the ref missed the Iowa time out AND when the Gopher tied Brady up, the Gopher's foot was out of bounds. The ref messed up twice in one sequence.

With Gopher's foot out of bounds, it should have been Iowa's ball.

Instead, ball given to Minnesota on alternate possession.

Iowa should have won in regulation

Instead Minnesota is gift wrapped a home win

HawkCentral lays it out when they wrote this:

A key moment came with 20.3 seconds remaining in regulation and Iowa (14-11, 6-6 Big Ten) leading 77-75. Hawkeyes guard Brady Ellingson had the ball deep in his backcourt, anticipating that he would be fouled. He then tried to call timeout when two Gopher defenders trapped him, but the referees didn’t award him one, instead calling a jump ball that gave possession back to Minnesota.

Iowa’s entire coaching staff was upset; Fran McCaffery and all three assistants burst onto the raised-floor court, vehemently pleading their case to the officials.

McCaffery had reason to be upset. DURING THE PREVIOUS TIME OUT, McCaffery had even alerted referees that if Iowa got the ball back, he wanted to get a timeout. So it had to be maddening that, in that very common situation where a player calls timeout, officials weren't looking for it.

“To be honest, I thought we won the game already with that timeout. We called timeout. Coach told the ref we were going to call timeout when we got the ball back. You could hear Brady calling timeout,” Jok said. “After that, I told them we had five more minutes to go and to keep fighting. We did that. We got five more minutes, but they got the best of us.”

The subsequent layup by Nate Mason with 9 seconds left tied the score at 77-77 and forced overtime. The Gophers would win in double overtime, 101-89.

“I know Brady was calling timeout but it was just loud and there was people around the refs,” said Iowa guard Jordan Bohannon, who was running toward the play also trying to get a timeout. “It wasn’t able to be heard, I guess.”

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery was livid, but didn’t want to address the officiating after the game.

Jok said the non-call didn’t linger for the Hawkeyes, but he brought it up twice during his postgame comments, saying: “I thought we won the game already.”

Official Chris Beaver not only didn’t give the timeout, he also ruled a jump ball — even though replays showed the Gophers’ Jordan Murphy, whose hands were on the ball, standing out of bounds.

The alternate-possession arrow gave the ball to Minnesota. It meant a Hawkeye turnover with a two-point lead and the shot clock turned off; otherwise, Iowa would’ve had the chance to salt the game away with free throws. Brady Ellingson is a 100 percent free throw shooter (18-for-18).

They could have reviewed it but no one was complaining about the ob just the to.
If someone had said something I'm sure they would have looked. Problem is the entire coaching staff was going ballistic ( and rightfully so) but someone needed to keep a clear head and maybe listen to the bench, ga's etc.

As I mentioned in another thread, it's MN's turn to get into the Big Dance. The B1G and refs will do nearly anything aside from extremely something blatant to make that happen. Pretty sickening really.
 
You mean where JBo dribble into Cook and they went the other way for a slam? That's the play I thought might have killed us, early miss FTs and Jok was a first have no show.

Regardless. They battled back after that and had the ****er taken from them
 
Breaking News: Road teams get screwed repeatedly in the B1G. Always has been, always will be.
I agree with this. Screwing consistently through out. The only difference is you can always bitch and moan about refs but never can conclusively say you lost because of the them. This game is black and white lost because of this missed call...there is no other way to spin it. Refs missed the GAME DECIDING call. (Well 99.8% sure)
 
Brady had no business sitting in the corner after the turnover. Yeah, refs suck but he had the opportunity to move and stood there like a statue.

The JBo/Cook collision was classic Fran Hawkeyes. Boneheaded plays and decisions everywhere late in game and throughout OTs.

The refs missed 2 calls on that play, but I can't not wonder what Brady was doing. Thought he was going to get fouled? Too much time left for that...
I just cannot comprehend how refs get off Scot free for missing gigantic missed plays like that. There has to be some kind of internal punishment, right?

So if this is true then the BIG Ten must routinely rotate whose 'turn' it is to get into the dance? So that means eventually it will be Iowa's turn? This means that all coaches and refs are in on this conspiracy as well? Which means the players are too? Doesn't seem to be a stretch at all.... solid reasoning.

OR.... it could be the refs blew a huge call that cost us the game because they are incompetent asshats? Hmmm... tough choice.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think the fact their head coach has the last name "Pitino" plays a huge role in this.

They weren't even that close to him when he received the ball. He just stood there and waited for them to trap him. They weren't going to foul until later since it was a one possession game.
 
Not a conspiracy, an unconscious bias borne of incompetence. It begins with home cooking(which Iowa takes advantage of), but leads to incompetent assumptions. Ex. "WI just doesn't foul" or "Crean coached teams are just tougher." In this case, "Pitino and MIN finally need this."

Fact is, it's a hard job to ref these games. And yes, they get influenced by the crowd. Almost unavoidable. It happens at home for us too. But this,THIS was blatant miss. It was not a "judgement call". Iowa lost tonight because of complete and utter incompetence. No conspiracy theory, just bad ref job and stupid rules that don't allow for review

So if I follow this line of thinking then the Iowa players and coaches must have been thinking this too, right?

I don't know what IA players and coaches were thinking there. These are just my personal feelings. I would hope they would just be doing their damndest to win the game.

Now you're being ridiculous. Not sure how you get from my contention that the B1G conference has a vested interest to get the most teams in their conference into the tourney and that proliferates to the refs to extrapolating that all coaches and players are "in it as well". Now that is solid reasoning - huh?

I suppose you think that Pat Chambers making this very assertion regarding the favoritism the B1G elites get (don't remember against who) - did he not get the memo in your theory? There are other examples that have been publicly made, and many more that haven't.
 
Fn Jordan Bohannon running the official down trying to get the TO as well. In ****ing credible
 
Bobby Hansen in post game radio show said "it's water under the dam."

Bobby then said the 2 other Iowa players were asking for a time out and "the officials overlooked it."

You are asserting that referees are purposely changing the outcome of games in favor of a team, in this case Minnesota, so they will get into the NCAA tournament, correct? Please answer with a 'yes' or 'no'.
