I normally don't berate the officiating because they are normally inconsistant in all games.
My theory is, "you have to play so good, that you could care-less what the officials call."
However, right now I can easily slow down my DVR, and "clearly" see the non-foul calls against us, WITH AN OFFICIAL LOOKING RIGHT AT IT. and there wasn't even anything mentioned. Even Ejim's give away under the basket, 4 hands were on the ball, wasn't much of a struggle, but if that wasn't a jump ball, That little tenderfoot grabbed Melvin's arm as he was pulling the ball away. I'M LOOKING RIGHT AT IT! And the goofy official is standing on the sidelines with wistle in mouth, and he let it go. (I'm done... I could go on all night) just a **** poor performance from the zebra squad tonight.

Without commenting on the officiating, this is kind of what I expected. We are having a Johnny Orr-type season.

Was he trying to save the Timeouts for OT? Can't play like that.

I just feel like I wasn't watching the same game as the crowd that calls Fred out for saving the timeouts. The players made some bone headed mistakes, some during possessions that were set up very well to get shots late in the shot clock. We did use all those timeouts by the way so don't understand the ot comment either.

Careful Georges, big brother is watching!

We shouldn't be in that close of the game where we question the officials. They could have easily not called the inbounds foul on OSU. You almost never see that actually. Lost fair and square, let's get Baylor.

There were a lot of calls in that game you almost never see actually. And you picked out the one that went for us as the anomaly.

They're bad almost everywhere. There just aren't enough good refs to go around.

**Doc** · 01-30-2013, 09:33 PM

ISU could've really pulled away by 10+ if they could've just got some stops in the middle of the 2nd half.

Would have still had 1 timeout after using it to set up the play.

A) ISU scores, Okie St. calls time to draw up a play.
B) ISU misses, Okie St. makes, game over.

Doesn't make any sense to hold 2 timeouts there. At all.

**HouClone** · 01-30-2013, 09:35 PM

I have seen us get screwed more on calls on other games, especially on the road. Haven't looked at the FT stats but it didn't seem so one sided.

**Psyclone Brian** · 01-30-2013, 09:36 PM

I can hardly wait until we get them up in Ames.

**mjhavlo76** · 01-30-2013, 09:37 PM

Outstanding perfomance from Iowa State despite the loss!! Damn proud of every member of the team.

It wasn't Forte that fouled him. It was the other guy that hacked across his arm before Forte stole the ball up that should have been called. It was completely blatant and the reason Ejim swung the ball back toward Forte or else Ejim would have kept going to his left to escape.
