Why even play the games? It’s a joke, makes it hard to watch. Some late make up calls don’t do it when the games been decided. Every big ten game on the road has turned into the advantage Duke has playing at Cameron. Shouldn’t be.
If they’re not going to call any fouls on the home team

Obviously the officials didn’t have an impact on the outcome of the game but holy crap were they awful. From the Indiana player running into his coach out of bounds and then getting a layup to the technical. Absolute SHIT! Garza gets ****ing mauled every time he touches it and it’s never a foul on the road. I know every other team deals with this as well. It has to get better.
Yes, the first half was lost with horrible effort on the boards and turnovers galore. That combined with horrible shooting on our end and IU being on fire from 3. But... Garza looks like he is fouled every time. The IU guards were putting a hand on our guards every single possession and no call.
Again, not the reason why we lost but it would be nice to get calls on things that are fouls.
I’m not sure how you can say ‘Obviously the officials didn’t have an impact on the outcome of the game’. Of course it has an impact on the game.
The refs lost the game for Iowa? You are starting to sound like a whiney drunk Iowa State fan.
Every team gets home cooking in the B1G, including iowa. Just look at the B1G team records at home vs away. It’s disturbing how lopsided it is. It’s helped iowa a lot so far though, so I wouldn’t complain too much
After the season we hear how the NCAA is going to emphasize a particular thing the officials will be calling. From hand checking to jumping into a defender to flopping. Puts a bit of excitement back into the game knowing this shit will be called, only to find out it’s the same as before. Clean the game up by enforcing the rules. Eliminating some of these inept officials would be a good start.
I must have missed where I said that. The point is it seems every big ten team at home now seems to have the home court “advantage “ the Duke’s and Michigan State’s have gotten for decades. Now teams are getting Izzo’d at every road arena, even the crappy ones, it hard to watch.
I watched a replay of the 1980 Regional SemiFinal between Iowa and Syracuse. If the games were officiated like that today, most B1G teams would have pretty much their entire team fouled out by halftime. My question is "so what has changed in the rules"? I know the game has changed over the last 40 years. But as an official, what I see called in that game is STILL in the rulebook. But I know I'll never see that again.
I agree. You guys got every call against Rutgers after Fran's ridiculous meltdown, because the refs refused to call a foul against Iowa.....lol. Completely turned the game around.
you guys got away with a TON of crap in the first half of the game, so you're whining because you didn't get to cheat the entire game?
boo hoo hoo LMAO
Is it still goaltending to slap the backboard on a shot? It happens all the time and I have not seen it called this season. If it is, maybe someone should tell the B1G officials.
I’m not on the boat that the officials are overly biased in most cases, they are just very easily influenced by the home crowd, wildly inconsistent, and often seemingly incompetent.

The one that gets me is the flagrant rule they put in for contact above the shoulders. Every game same thing. Weezy going around a Garza screen. Defender reaches his right arm around Garza trying to split the screen, and literally closelines Joe W. right in the neck, and he goes down hard. They review it for like 5 minutes, and say, no intent, no flagrant. WHY did they even put that call in this year. Almost every game we have a guy take a forcible hit to the head, or in Luka's case come up bloodied or missing teeth, and still don't remember even one flagrant called. Stupidest rule change ever. Short of a decapitation, I doubt we'll ever get that call. Shawn Morris talking about no intent by the Indiana player. How exactly do you establish intent? Totally ridiculous......
Basketball has become a full contact/street ball style game.
Rules may not have changed but a lot more contact has been allowed over the years
Agree completely on the flagrant part. A lot of head and neck shots have occurred recently to go uncalled as they were deemed “basketball moves”.
They want to remove concussions from pretty much every sport making it a point of emphasis and rightly so. In basketball and football too, they’re giving too much subjectivity to the replay officials.
The only conclusion I can come too, is this is just another rule they put in to be "PC" or make it look like their actually looking out for the players when their not really planning to even call this crap. "Hey", "we put in a rule"....
CYA, basically...
Which is fine until it’s selectively enforced. But refs wouldn’t do that. What am I saying.
Shon misses the mark a lot. He was very annoyed with guys going for a dunk instead of a layup, then was absolutely clueless when Fran was T’d up when goaltending wasn’t called...on a layup.
Been out of town for a few days so excuse my delayed response. It’s what isn’t called that’s the problem, those should, according to the rule book, be called. It is different now, coached over 300 aau games and some games were, it had to be beyond blood for it to be a foul and others were, if you reached at all and didn’t come within a foot of a player it was a foul. Kids have to adapt game to game and quickly
