CJF missing two of three and Joe T’s two missed free throws cost Iowa the game. Gotta make your free throws down the stretch to close out games. When you don’t, you see what happens.
eh, you can quibble on the fouls a bit, just make free throws and you still win.. but that 3 by Carr after he took about 4 steps was awful. Call the travel and Iowa is up 6 with 30 some seconds left and has the ball.
Minnesota bumped , hacked and pushed guys all around in the first half and got away with it cleanly except for Robbins.Not saying Carr's big step back 3 wasn't a travel, but Touissaint got away with one that would have prevented his chance to salt the game away at the FT line. As Hummel put it, he got "happy feet" before started dribbling and was a traveling violation that wasn't called.
So, in a sense, it evened out (even though it happened that Carr hit the 3 and JoeT missed the FTs that would have won the game).

Carr had numerous push offs to get open on his shots.
Props that their guys made the shots but they simply smashed Garza in the middle of a human sandwich and did whatever they wanted to him in the first half.
cool , that was easy . nextso the 2 points that Minnesota got directly from the bad call had no bearing on the outcome of the game in regulation?
Got it.
your second FACT statement is one of the dumber statements of the week . " ridiculously " ? come on dude you are better than that .At one point in the second half, Iowa had 11 fouls and Minnesota had 4. You say Iowa doesn't play defense, isn't close enough to shooters, and yet you say the reffing was OK? Interesting logic.
Yes, Iowa STILL should have won the game, but if you're gonna rag on college athletes, why the hell give the adult refs--who actually get paid--a pass for doing a lousy job?
Fact: Iowa blew the game.
Fact: The refs were ridiculously favoring Minnesota despite the Gophers' much rougher play.
BTW: I didn't know Robbie Hummel and Dave Revsine were such great Minnesota boosters. They questioned almost every foul call against Minny in the second half while ignoring blatant missed calls against Iowa. Hell, Robbie even questioned why Minny was whistled for a foul when they bloodied CJ's lip! C'mon, man. Do you really think Garza misses all those chippies because he's NOT getting fouled in the double and triple teaming? 😣
come on dude you are better than that .
How is it that the refs only miss calls against your team? There are missed and bad calls both ways. Always has been, and always will be.
Papabeef?Look at the positioning of BOTH refs! How is it even possible for them to miss that call? So bad
i agree it was a bad call . the contact occurred on the middle of joe t chest which should have told them he got there in time but with 8 minutes to go it did not cost us the game , we blew an 7 point lead in 45 seconds .Papabeef?
Refs are human and miss calls. They also missed Joe T traveling with about 30 seconds left. Move on folks. Some of you make Nebraska whiners sound mature.Look at the positioning of BOTH refs! How is it even possible for them to miss that call? So bad
It’s all a matter of perspective. You notice the bad calls against your own team but ignore the bad calls against the other team.
Nearly every game is called fairly.
How about u go back and actually read the thread. Not once did i blamed the refs for costing us that game. That call I pointed out was freaking terrible as was the 5ft step back 3 that was a very clear travel. Iowa never should have lost that game, and the refs made some shitty calls, both can be true at the same time. And honestly I don’t even give a shit who the bad calls go against or for, i just want some freakin consistency! That’s the biggest problem i see w/ college officials, they’re terribly inconsistent and make calls going with the momentum of the game.Refs are human and miss calls.

no, it isn’t. Nearly every game is called with a massive advantage for the home team.

And there you go again blaming the loss on the refs. Every time Iowa loses, write it down, someone will start a thread blaming the loss on the refs. That is what losers do - make excuses.How about u go back and actually read the thread. Not once did i blamed the refs for costing us that game.

The officiating, as questionable as it was at times, is not the reason Iowa lost.....
This, however, should be reviewed by the dean of officials as to how the ref saw 'block' here instead of 'charge'.
college officials have no idea how to call a block vs a charge. NBA refs are not perfect, but they are 100 times better at not bailing out offensive players by rewarding them and calling fouls on out of control drives where the defender has established position. Whatever they do for training the NBA refs on calling that, they need to teach the college refs.
This particular call you pointed out you will see all the time in the college game and it bugs me. In college, they seem to reward the second defender charge call where the defender has to be planted for 5 seconds not moving at all, and then dramatically flop/flail if barely touched. Think Brad Davison from Wisconsin drawing charges. Meanwhile, this good defense by Toussaint is penalized. A defender doesn't have to magically have his feet planted and not moving whatsoever to have established position. He has a right to the space his body occupies. If the offensive player is just slamming into him not going anywhere, that is not a foul on the defense.
Lol Your reading comprehension is poorAnd there you go again blaming the loss on the refs. Every time Iowa loses, write it down, someone will start a thread blaming the loss on the refs. That is what losers do - make excuses.
What else are you going to do in man defense though?
You can't just let the ball defender get picked with no help at the 3pt line.
Playing man with Garza is just not a good option no matter what and when you mix in JBO as the guy getting screened its not workable no matter what you do.
I definitely think this should be Iowa's strategy since they aren't a good defensive team. If you are a really good defensive team I would probably just play defense and try to make them hit a crazy tough shot but we know Iowa is not that.Iowa got some really good calls in the Purdue game to help win it so I’m not blaming refs for a w or l. You have to play through the good or bad calls. What I want to know is why did Fran not foul at the end to prevent the three point shot? Up three, they have the ball with seconds on the clock, you foul do they can’t tie with a three.
