Wow! Never seen so much whining.

And how is that relevant?
What year did you graduate from Iowa State? Typical Cyclown fan.
I take it you never played soccer. You are just going to stereotype that soccer isn't a physical game and probably comment on flopping. There is a lot more contact in soccer that would be called a foul in basketball every time.
To the point of your argument, I agree it wasn't the refs fault. Rebounding was atrocious... Shooting was poor. Turnovers were at bad times. It was a bad game.
Watch this short highlight of Purdue guard Nojel Eastern on an iu guard.
Is that too physical?
I love your posts. Please keep it going.
Have you ever played any competitive sport in your life? (golf doesn't count).
Do you think the high pick n roll should be legal?
What about screening in general?
How about a big physically trying to back down another big on the block, while the opposing big tries to prevent it.
Do you think boxing out on rebounds should be legal?
What about traps and double teams. (those don't seem very fair or in the spirit of competition).
You OK with dunking?
No. I'm saying that for a game that was designed as a no/low contact sport it has spawned into a pushing,shoving
hooking, elbow swinging almost full contact sport where players need mouth pieces to keep teeth in place.
Dunks & layups are okay as long as you don't plow your shoulder into someones chest to clear space to do it.
All players are taught to do that now. A person in that space has every right to be there guarding you. lowering your shoulder to move him is not the way play was intended. It should be called every time a player does that but is let go way to often.
Yea I can see you love my posts
Played ball in high school. Does not mean I don't grasp the rules of the game.
You have your opinion of how you think the game should be played and I have mine as I was taught years ago.
Nothing will change except to put more pressure on the refs in a loose/loose situation.
Hand checking was the focus last year I believe & it lasted maybe 1-2 months & then went by the way side to focus on something else.
Boudreaux absolutely kills Iowa. He's the ultimate blue-collar worker who defensively disrupts Iowa's offense...
and then when Purdue is on offense he always seems to hit any open shot opportunity while crashing the offensive boards hard allowing second or third tries. He seems to be everywhere...he understands positioning and timing in rebounding (Hawks need to study his play)
obviously looks like a 40-yr old but he is the heart of that team...and caused Iowa to be out of sync all night once again against them.

Yes. By rule that is a foul at the 6 second mark, when the guard crossed him up. Purdue grabbed his arm. Not a ton of contact, so not normally called. No way it's called for a road team
When you are blown out at home and trail all night … officiating should be the least of anyone's concerns … "Hustle" and "effort" come to mind.
While I wasn't following the game thread, I'd imagine it was pretty colorful. When fans are frustrated, their sensitivity is heightened and they say things. Nothing earth shattering there.
After the game was over, my thoughts weren't on the refs, but how we got abused on the boards again. A good percentage of rebounding is effort, and you outworked us again. Kudos.
That being said, not sure why you're peacocking around on here. We're solidly in and playing for seeding while you're scratching and clawing just to get in the conversation.
Maybe if your guys had shown the same fire and hustle you did against Iowa in games like Illinois where you scored 37 points in an entire game, you wouldn't be in the position you're in.
