Unbelievably Bad Officiated Game

It was the quality of the fouls. Our guards were getting blasted going to the hoop, but Nebraska was getting friendly whistle for breathing on them.
I most definitely muted when the announcers started talking about everyone in the crowd that ever played basketball at Nebraska instead of calling the game.
I agree, it was annoying. But, I must add that I didn't mind when they spent most of the 3rd quarter talking with Caitlin during the USC game. Does that make me a hypocrite, or just a biased fan?
JFC bitch about announcers when you control the remote on your TV turn it down if u don t like the announers.
Markowski was able to clear as much space as she wanted but our posts couldn't look at her without a whistle.
Why do we care? anyone with half a brain for the sport of basketball cares that officiating do their job of calling the game fair and accordinng to the rules of the game.
last night was an obvious attempt by officiating that went beyond the normal home bias calls and just started making stuff up that wasn't there to appease the home crowd and help the Huskers back into a game they were and should have been blown out.
I care win or lose about this kind of behavior. You are right the dark haired guy was the most obvious.
Sadly if we had lost due to this, there'd be a contingent of fans that would use that worn out point of view...don't blame the refs blah blah blah about losing.
I'm happy to see this thread. I thought we played by far our best game of the year. The officiating was atrocious and kept Nebraska in the game. Our girls may have lost had they not played such a complete game. Very impressive win considering the calls. It was easily the worst officiating since I think it was at MSU or whichever game we should've won. Hats off to the young ladies for playing through it and keeping their composure.
JFC bitch about people on a message board when you control what to scroll past if you don't like what they are saying.
It doesn't matter what color or sex, that person was awful at officiating basketball.
Just ONE of a multitude of examples: Iowa blocked a shot on the near side around the 3 point line. An official 5 feet behind the play saw it was a clean block and didn't blow the whistle. The ref under the basket was blocked by at least 4 or 5 players but, apparently relying on her x-ray vision, blew the whistle and called the foul. That's not even her call. WTH?
Oh, I wish you hadn't mentioned that one . . . WOW! Basketball is such a great game, but contests like last night are almost impossible to watch when the refs are so brutally bad and one-sided. The game was called one way on the Nebraska half and the opposite on the Iowa half. As others have said, Iowa had to play brilliantly to beat an 8-person Nebraska squad last night.
Congrats to the Hawkeye players for refusing to let the incompetence of the refs stop them from winning, and winning big. And Jan did a great job of making her displeasure known, but without crossing the line. I'm pretty sure I'd have been tossed. It was so unfair. It was egregious.
Former Fran, yes. This year's Fran, meh. But I would've been tossed. I can guarantee that.
I kept thinking that during a timeout Jan should have politely called the refs together and said something like this: "Would you prefer we just pull our team off the floor when Nebraska has the ball at their end?"
We've all seen plenty of bad, one-sided officiating, but last night was right up there with some of the very worst. It almost reminded of the national title game vs. LSU . . .
