Women's March Madness: Cyclones vs Texas A&M 6 p.m. ESPN2

[NetflixAndClone]

can’t win a game with that many turnovers but holy crap were the refs bad. Worlds quickiest jump ball and mugging under the hoop at the end.

 

[Malone]

Sh*t, I want to be mad but this crying A&M girl is making it hard

 

[Buster28]

GO ARIZONA!

 

[qwerty]

24 turnovers, but several were direct results of bad officiating

 

[pulse]

I’m just thankful I’m not emotionally invested because that was some trash.

 

[alarson]

The stripes weren't good but the stripes also didn't turn it over 25 times. You can't do that and win.

A good number of those turnovers shouldve been fouls on A&M

 

[ISUTex]

Does Joens always dribble around in circles with her eyes down and force shots? Not trying to rag on her, she's a heck of a player. Seemed like that was a common strategy for ISU's players. I don't watch women's basketball very much obviously. Great shooters though. Do our players lift weights?

Shut up and don’t defend that crap. All that does is excuse their bogus officiating.

Agree. Hated the jump ball call at the end of the game but Nixon and the turnovers did us in.

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Is that really Bill’s end of game offense? Just let one person dribble around and try to do it all themselves? No timeout there is ridiculous

 

[larrysarmy]

This loss will push the freshman, 24 TO’s will never cut it.

 

[cayin]

Bill or Jamie has to say something, they just have to. Can't let this go. Are we pissing post? I'd like to think not, then fking do something about it.

 

[cycloneworld]

Nixon was impressive though. we just were one shot and about 15 terrible calls short.

Nixon hit every clutch shot.

Refs botched at least 3 major calls.

ISU blows a 9 point lead mid-way through the 4th.

Perfect (****)storm to lose it. Heartbreaker.

 

[CycloneWanderer]

Officials made so many wrong calls. They seemed afraid to actually call anything of substance in the last 5 minutes of regulation and overtime. Even the substantive calls they should have made against us they didn't (e.g., elbow & possession at the end of regulation); it really just seemed like they were scared to call fouls or actually make game-determining calls when they needed to. It looks like they were trying to be "unbiased" with so much effort they stopped actually calling the reality of the game.

 

[HoustonClone]

Joens was fouled TWICE on the last drive in regulation. They swallowed their whistles, and the knew it. So did Blair with his smug look on his face.

 

[67CY]

It’s crime the way teams can just pound Ashley and get away with it.

 

[NetflixAndClone]

Officiating set it up but the end of that game was terrible from ISU’s end on multiple levels.

Yeah there was plenty of chances for ISU to win it in OT. Two very costly turnovers though. Didn’t feel like the better team won.

this is two straight games the game was handed to texas AM.

Yeah I know people will ***** about the refs, deservedly so, but lets not act like we executed well down the stretch either.

Six of one, a dozen of the other.

 

[Clone5]

Did we have a timeout at the end?
