4 letter word. Short, Simple...Effective. (Starts with an F)

The four letter F word.

Sure they impact certain calls but dont blame a Single loss on the refs. Thats whiner talk. Sometimes you get the calls sometimes you dont. Its not like refs are robots who will get every thing right. So quit ******** about the refs, we were still in the game until the end wether or not the refs affected the game.

I am almost always on your side on this topic...but there are exceptions, and I think tonight is one of them.

Nebraska shot 11 ft's the last 5:41 of the game...We shot 0.

Nebraska was up 2 with 12:00 left and only made two fg's from there on out. We win right?

On the majority of fouls called on us down the stretch the contact was anticipated by the official...only on a few of them was their enough contact to say it was a clear cut foul.

No fouls were called on Nebraska in the last 8:45 of the game...that's the last 8 minutes and 45 seconds of the game Nebraska was not whistled for one foul...not one...despite us continuing to attack the basket.

During that time 6 fouls were called on ISU.

Nebraska 63, Iowa State 62...I'd say blaming the refs is very warranted for this game IMO.

Agreed. We did just as much to kill ourselves with the turnovers and the dg iso sets, but they did shoot almost 2x as many FTs as us, and made more than we even attempted (despite us having a better FT percentage)

It is uncomfortable for many to say something that is out of "our" control has the ability have a bigger impact on the game, but it happens. The road team gets the calls- we overcame almost enough of them.

A good team does not put the refs in position to have an impact on the game.

We are not a good team.

But I really enjoy watching this group - solid team play and the guys really work hard for the each other and coaches/fans.

Good, you admitted the refs affected the game.

A team not playing perfectly does not void a poor performance by the officials. Cope with your cliches all you want.

Questionable calls were levied on both sides.

DG = ISU loss
DG = Some of the worst years ever in ISU basketball history
DG = horrible

Simpleton talk.
Many good teams have "put" the refs in position to have an impact on the game.

I agree with your last statement, and I agree that we are in no way an NCAA tourney team...although I held out slim hope that we could be an NIT team (tonight made that much tougher as there aren't a lot of road conference games we'll have a real shot in).

...but this does occasionally happen to good teams too..granted most of the times they are playing teams better than Nebraska when it happens.

Great effort by our guys, can't question that...and we definately made mistakes throughout the game the led to our demise...but saying the refs took this game over is not outa the question IMO. And it wasn't just one call (like flagging a guy for doing a salute after a td cuts it to two with a minute left)...it was on a LOT of calls (and no-calls) down the stretch that could have helped us put it away.

[CRAZYGREG]

Anyone who actually defends DG is CRAZY!!! He has been probably the worst PG is ISU history
