We'll have no inside game next year, come on, really..

Hopefully Malu. Woof at our front court next year.

Guys, this sucks, but let's try not to eat our own.

I apologize. We lost this game because we couldn't execute, but no one can honestly tell me with a straight face the refs were good in this game

 

[MNclone]

Hard to say what the game would have looked like without Niangs fantom 4th. That sucks.

 

[Hoiball92]

the refs didn't cost us the game, they just cost us a closer game

Niang got 4 fouls with 16 left 2 were ********. Niang is our only offense

 

[Skyh13]

Well, it was a fun 4 years. Definitely a roller coaster. The NCAA tourney has been nothing but a bunch of "what ifs" for this team in that time, but still.

 

[Bytheriver]

Thanks for everything George! You played with heart tonight, way to step up...

 

[04clone]

Jfc... Much like wvu, they foul on every f'ing possesion and nothing gets called. We may not have won with fair officiating, but fml

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Why the hell aren't we fouling after they break the press?

 

[digZ]

Disaster of the first 5 minutes doomed this team. UVa got in their comfort zone and never looked back.

 

[Hoiball92]

We can't even foul

 

[IcSyU]

Niang was the best player on the floor. UVA was the better team and it wasn't really even close.

 

[cycloneworld]

Would have been nice to see Morris, Nader, and McKay to play a little better. Niang can't do it alone.

 

[ISUTex]

Typical. Blame the refs. Dumb. Annoying. Embarrassing.

There red will be bad calls in every game. They aren't the reason we lost.

It's not that hard to change games when you're the ref. All you have to do is call cheap fouls on key players. Or, not call fouls on key players. Or, wait until the player goes into his shot to call a foul. Or, not call a foul, depends on the player I guess. Or, call a travel, or not. If anybody has ever officiated a basketball game beyond the junior high level, they know, deep down, it's not that difficult.

Yeah, we haven't shot well, but a lot of what goes into shooting is "MENTAL". When you are getting the shaft in plants a seed.

They were terribly inconsistent as most college refs are. ISU got away with a few, UVA got away with a lot​, but thems the rolls.

Yup

 

[Cycl1]

Great job with the press prohm. Great ******* call. What, 5 dunks in a row?

 

[DurangoCy]

why was the clock running after that made basket?

 

[ISUCY23]

Game completely changed with Niangs 4th "foul"

This. We were not good in this game, but the refs absolutely sucked too.

But, but, but REFS!!!
