These officials

[xboxfever]

Thanks to Scott Van Pelt I just realized that if Tom Eades did have money on this game, Deonte Burton ****ed him with that buzzer beater at the end. **** Tom Eades.

Higgins sucks

Eades blows

And they both freaking swallow.

I don't remember where it was, but I will say this. I have criticized Prohm for not standing up to the officials. I was very pleased with how he acted tonight.

ISU definitely needed to shore up some terrible TOs tonight to have a chance. BUT, you can't tell me that Eades' bogus call that sent Niang to the bench in the first half didn't have a HUGE impact on the end result. Without our best player on the floor allowed OU to get a 6pt lead at the half. Imagine if Buddy would have picked up a 2nd foul as early as Georges did. OU would have struggled mightily! Also, that horrid charging call against Nadar (on the dunk) took it from a possible 6pt deficit to a 11pt deficit due to the ensuing weak-*** technical on Prohm. Bob Huggins does more screaming and flailing over a call made against his team when they are up 10 than Steve Prohm has done in his entire career. Proud of our guys battling tonight when we often were playing against 6 opponents.

Buddy had one hell of a game, but we played one hell of a game and the refs made the difference. When national announcers point out five bad calls and they're all in one direction, it's hard to say they weren't.

Eades is by far the worst Big 12 official. A good official doesn't constantly make so many out of position calls, or anticipate fouls that don't happen. He doesn't want Heilds kids, But his grandkids would like a pony ride.

I was at the game. I thought the crowd was going to come out of the stands. Rotten officiating. Just rotten.

Nader got the sour end of it tonight. That travel call towards the end of the 1st half (announcers were kind enough to point out that it wasn't a travel) took 2 points off the board. Then that charge call, where Buddy slides in under Nader who was already in the air. That single play was an 8 point swing. Instead of the and one, a T is called and OU gets 5 points on the other end. That was the single biggest call of the game.

If its a foul on one end, its a foul on the other end. If it is a travel on one end it is a travel on the other end.

Hield is allowed to push off and create space on a lot of plays, that is fine but you have to allow the other team the same leeway. Just because he is an AA doesn't mean he doesn't foul when playing D.

 

[dmcy]

You mean Hield is special and OU is average at best?[/QUOTE

Not avg. but not nearly as good without Hield

 

[Cyclonepride]

Had Iowa fans in my FB feed complaining about the refs in our game. Yes, it was that bad.

I was as well

Ou is a bunch of role players without heild imo

 

[IlliniCy]

Stop. Niang got called for that same hook in Ames while Buddy was on him. These threads are pathetic after every L.

No, you stop. The same corrupt ref called both of them. Tom Effin Eades.

If Prohm's T was a T, Huggins and Self should get 20-50 T's a game.

 

[IlliniCy]

Tom Eades is a bad person. Should never be allowed to officiate a Big 12 game again

This is accurate. A bad person. Not a bad ref. He knows exactly what he's doing and to whom.

 

[BBHMagic]

The thing that I just can't get over is our best player fouled out and I'm not sure that he even had one foul.

 

[WalkingCY]

I was at the game. I thought the crowd was going to come out of the stands. Rotten officiating. Just rotten.

I was there too. Totally agree. They dictated play with their questionable officiating.

 

[ISUFan22]

Hoping Eades breaks a leg after that horrid job. ******* trash.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Why doesn't Georges get such benefits as well, then?

This x1000. Buddy is a great player that gets the benefit on almost every ******* call. George never gets a call.
