That Was The Worst Officiated ISU Game I Have Ever Seen

Which we have done on other occasions this season, been a terrible year for the refs. Luckily we're just so good we can overcome it a lot of games.
They might be one or two spots below us on the sacred KenPom now.
Gotta love our fans…half of them worshipping KenPom and a few ref apologists acting like the #19 team on KenPom is the worst team in college basketball.
More importantly, they never go more than two minutes without actually committing obvious fouls. Like drag a guy to the ground obvious.
Thanks for making my point. It's not the first, 2nd , or 3rd time we've failed to adjust to how a game is being called. At some point this team has to realize it's part of that problem.
Saying the refereeing was terrible (should be reprimands) doesn't absolve us from not adjusting. Z
Yeah...and some on here think we're good enough to beat them when they foul more than us yet nearly our entire team gets fouled out of the game. Like we can just magically cover 11 foul difference that takes 1/3 of our team out of the game. We can't "try harder" because we already absolutely dominated them rebounding. We can't "take care of the ball" because we had less turnovers. We can't "make shots" because we did make more FGs. It boils down to exactly ONE thing.
Miracle we were within 10. These games at their place have been a joke since they joined the league.
Play Harder!!!!! well...we outrebounded them by quite a lot.
Take care of the ball!!!!!! well...we had less turnovers.
Make shots!!!!!! well...we made more FGs than WVU.
At some point it's easier to just look at the foul discrepancy.
Couldn't watch the game tonight, what did I miss?
Were you one of the refs tonight?

Dominated them on the boards, made more shots, took better care of the ball. Great road game from the guys.
That was pretty insane. I see people saying we get that same treatment at home. No we don’t, for starters we haven’t had many close ones at home and none with that foul discrepancy or overturning of calls.
Yeah I have read comments that opponents get that treatment at Hilton. I would like someone to share just one example of a comparable foul scenario.
Those things have NOTHING to do with what I said.
Again, if we adapt to the game and quit putting ourselves in position to if not outright committing 10 stupid fouls the bad calls/ticky tacks are less of an issue. We didn't do it tonight and we really haven't adjusted on the road all year long. At some point the team (talking to you Grill) can quit bodying, reaching, and fouling on easy buckets senselessly or they can continue and let the combination of dumb fouls, legit fouls and bad calls take them out of the game.
Corralling loose balls and eliminating dumb fouls probably wins is the game by 8. We didn't do those things and lost. That's our fault, not the officials.
there's absolutely no guarantee that TJ getting after a ref will result in even calls.....we're Iowa State....we won't ever get the favorable calls
Not only am I looking for revenge 2/27 at Hilton but hope we get them in KC and then make it 3 curb stompings in a row in the NCAA Sweet 16 round! **** Huggy Bear and his back pocket refs!
Otz needs to tell Jaz that kicking the guy with the ball with your knees is not winning tournament basketball.
"But Coach, you told me to !!!! "
"But Coach, you told me to !!!! "
Adapt to what game? Making sure they tuck in their shoulders on every screen or risk a flagrant 1?
Don't defend too close because when the opponent throws an elbow into your chest and gets called for an offensive foul......they might review it and change the call to a defensive foul?
Make sure when the opponent pushes you from behind on a rebound you don't lose your pivot foot.......or you will be called for a foul?
