I agree they wouldn't have had such an easy time backing him down to geta good shot at the basket.

I realize Fran's T probably played a very huge part in the final outcome, but I would have been more mad at him if he had of just shrugged his shoulders with a smirk and said "whatever" after his team was bent over without lube on that foul by Hepburn but whistled on TonyP.
Did he take it too far, I mean yeah. But that reaction was an accumulation of the frustration building from the sh*tty reffing all game long, not just a 'wild hair up his ass' that caused him to lash out.

Right.
The opponent could just mime touching them and Wisky guys would still fall down, and likely draw the whistle as well.
As long as the Big Ten allows boxing matches like this to break out of a basketball game, and considers this kind of officiating acceptable, no Big Ten team will ever again win the NCAA Tournament. This kind of crap will not be allowed in March. And when Big Ten teams get in the tournament, they are at a disadvantage based on games just like this one. These officials are literally handicapping the whole conference, and hurting the brand.
If there was only something that existed where you could get a player or two during the off-season to shore up positions of need. Oh yeah, like a player portal. Maybe we tried, but no reason not to have gotten someone from the portal. And no reason why 4-5 of the current players should have a Big Ten basketball scholarship.
Honestly there's no "sportsmanship" anymore. We have guys who do the same crap. Blowing kisses after making the game winning kick. Leaving your damn shoes at mid court. Yes dick move by Wahl, but we've got guys who do some of the same shit, and people come on here and applaud it. Some of the stomping around that TP does is uncalled for as well. Are our guys "dicks" too? Are we bad fans as well? Part of the "look at me culture" we talked about earlier......
They t’d up Fran for saying “what’s going on here”. It was a b.s. t. He appropriately lost his shit after the T.
Honestly, I disagree.
They call games exactly like they do in the B1G, in the NCAA Tourney, too.
I watched it happen last year, in multiple tournament games.
Nah. They'll be fine. Young guys will improve and Sandfort's shots will eventually start falling.
Yeah. I'm sure it was something like, "Excuse me sir, but what is going on here if I might be so bold as to ask?" Fran needs to accept the fact that his inability to control himself cost his team in a big way tonight.
Idk about that. The B1G seems to get bullied every March.
I think this conference needs to get tougher come tourney time.
Doesn't help that he isn't allowed to run around crying and yelling at the refs like that shorty Izzo @ MSU, etc, also.
do you actually watch the games or do you just not understand it?
Not true. You get into the NCAA tournament, and you almost always get far more freedom of movement and flow, not this Uber-physical, grab anything and everyone in sight crap you get in the B1G. It’s been that way forever. And as as it continues, no B1G team will win a natty. That’s just a fact.
After reading his comments he does not appear to know anything about the game. No disrespect.
This incessant whining about officials sometimes makes these game threads a bore. Get over it.
Well Chis can deal with it lol. Iowa scored plenty in OT, but gave up even more. I've seen this move before.
Sorry I like watching a fair game for everyone involved.
I'm weird like that.
My bad.
He's probably not, but its his go-to on every. single. post. without. fail.
Portal is the first word in his vocabulary.
Big 12 plays this way all the time and they have 2 titles and another team get to final 4 in like the last 4 years
Officials suck at times, as a team you have to move on, but Fran can only blame himself for this roster and lack of Athletes and basically 2 wasted schollys on centers that never play.
You’re 100% correct on everything except that last sentence.
You’re 1,000% correct there.
OK. because we are short two starters. he has experience, it’s against a team that is extremely physical and trys to deny all movement. as far as his continually taking shots, that’s on him. he should be passing, setting screens and moving without the ball. have to value each position in this type of game. not a time to be hoping you get your stroke back.
