My god. Again, there is no such thing as big12 refs and isu leads the conference in foul disparity in their favor!! It's like the blind leading the blind

Big 12 hires officials. They hire the same ones over and over. Some of them are incompetent and need to have their services to the conference end.

I saw two evenly matched teams out there tonight and the only difference was the zebra's picking a team to win. They may not have cost ISU the game, but they definitely cost ISU points and gifted OU points. If you can't see that you're employing some sort of coping mechanism.

Let's get Morris healthy and hopefully reap the benefits of some more variety in officials we can draw nationally.

Going 3-0 in this tournament didn't exactly have us primed last year.

My thoughts exactly. A long run in this Big 12 tourney would not have been good for us IMO.

Especially with Morris not being 100 %.

If we play like tonight, I see us making the Sweet Sixteen.

If you really believe that it's that simple then there is no chance to reason with you.

The crap charge call on Nader which should have been and-one but instead lead to a Prohm's technical was a big difference in the game.

Does anyone else think McKay could have been the ultimate weapon for Huggins?

He causes a turnover on almost half of the full court presses where he guards the inbounder. I doubt there is a better player in college basketball, he did it in JUCO but hasn't been able to here for obvious reasons.

I really wish they would go back to 1 shot T's. Letting these refs reward 2 shot techs is like giving a loaded gun to a blind lunatic.

1 shot techs and ISU is in this game to the last posession. Our techs happened for a reason...because we were getting F'd.

Besides Niang and Hield, didn't think either team played particularly well, with the right draw I think we can win one in the tourney

Loved the Prohm technical, way overdue IMO. Hated the Nader charge call, even Miles Simon knew that call was trash. Respect, but respectfully HATE Buddy Hield. UNrespectfully hate Ryan Spangler, always have and always will. That Woodard character is a close 2nd on my unrespectfully hate list.

End of the day, really too bad nobody could hit shots toward the end besides Georges. 4th foul call on Georges on Spangler with 4 min. left was total BS and sort of nail in coffin. A healthy Monte probably the ultimate difference in this game. Please be ready for the NCAA's, guys.

The officiating was bad. But you know pregame with Higgins and Eades walking on the floor that this would be the case.

It rattled ISU's entire team when Georges went to the bench, and nobody really responded except for Burton for a short stretch.

This team can go as far as Niang takes them in the NCAAs, but they will need a bigger contribution from the rest of the guys.
