this was pathetic beyond belief. This was worse than the KU game at Hilton in 2014. This one was bad from start to finish. TJ needed to get T'd up at some point in this game, he needed to fight for his guys. No way Orr, Floyd or Eustacy would put up with that crap.
That Was The Worst Officiated ISU Game I Have Ever Seen

If you're one of the best teams in the country, it shouldn't matter against WVU.
You know what we need? Another thread about refs sucking
To what end? I like TJ's approach. It's refreshing. The refs are going to **** it up eventually. He's playing the long game.
WVU was in the bonus at the 16:20 mark in the second half… not sure I’ve seen that before.
The last coach at ISU to realize the importance of getting technical fouls on purpose was Eustachy.
Tonight reminded me why I gave up courtside seats and became a more casual fan. The Big12 is either the most rigged or incompetently officiated conference, and it is not worth getting so personally invested.
They can screw ISU, they do screw ISU, and nothing ever happens. Absolute joke.

WVU is also one of the best teams in the country. It’s just they play in the Big 12 so their record doesn’t really reflect it.
Ah yes. The long game of losing 4 one possession road games because you don't want, what, the refs to call even worse games against you?
This is the part of TJ's philosophy that is maddening.
I prefer a coach that doesn't whine every foul. I'm sure the refs do too.
I didn't know that the refs could go to the monitor to review a play for a flagrant foul and then reverse the call all together.
It's pretty clear from watching TJ and the team that he instills in the team to not react to adversity. If you are a yammering idiot on the bench (looking at you, Fran), the team is going to lose their cool too. He leads by example, because that's how he wants the players to conduct themselves, and they do.
I don't expect him to whine every foul, but after 7 in 3 minutes, you might want to make a fuss.
WVU is a top 15 team on kenpom. It absolutely matters.
This. Everyone always makes it out to be this false choice between going fran-level nuts and doing nothing, but there's a middle ground that needs to be struck.
The refs were really pretty bad all the way around. The one that really pissed me off was when their star play got called for a charge and he a Bobby were out there jawing with the refs for 5 minutes about the call without a T. Just absolutely ridiculous.
ISU is going to get a lot of fouls just because of the way they play, but to not call WVU for the same stuff is crazy.

These refs broke the most important rule of refereeing and that is to not make yourselves apart of the game. It was clear they wanted to impact the game. The Robert Jones flagrant and multiple overturned calls are unacceptable. These refs should be removed from B12 officiating immediately
Oh shut the **** up.
We damn near beat them with the refs doing everything they could to take us out of the game. We shouldn't have to beat a team by 20 to come away with a W
If the refs wanted to call the game that way, whatever. But there was a 10+ minute stretch in second half where WVU wasn’t called for a single foul. Has WVU ever gone 10 minutes in a game without being called for a foul ever under Huggins?
