1. Officiating in college games is generally not as bad as fans declare it to be.
2. That was ******* terrible.

Ban this ******* pathetic rape supporter for life!!!
I'll admit this one hurts more than usual as we FINALLY got back to being ranked and playing basketball like we are capable of playing. I realize this is life in the Big 12, but crap, the timing of this, and the way it happened (see numerous ref posts) stings.
We’re going to fine. It’s going to take a few more weeks to get the rotations down. THT coming around is the positive from this game. Hope Cam’s injury is minor, he was on the verge of breaking out. Need to continue to improve on our 3 point D and ball denial. Huge upside and I’ll take 2-1 to start out conference play.
As I stated before - poor end to the first half killed us. That said, against any Texas team on the road we are going to get inconsistent calls. You expect a little bit of favorable calls for the home team, but it is always amplified in Texas - lots and lots of Oil Guy Donors - you can't tell me that that does not factor into the minds of these refs. You ESPECIALLY see it on absolutely BS calls like the one when Shayok got the rebound. He gets fouled on the arm, no call. The second BU player touches the ball briefly and his hand slides to Shayok's arm and, TWEET, jump ball. THAT totally changed the momentum of the game. We may well have gone down and turned the ball over or missed a shot - but we were shooting about 60% in the second half and I liked our chances of scoring. That was a ref, looking for a way to give the ball back to BU. He11, when I'm reffing 5th and 6th grade AAU games, I don't make a jump ball call that quickly. AND, if I whistle anything in that same situation, it's the foul on the player who slapped the opponent's arm to begin with!
Shayok has missed a weird amount of layups this year. Has to be a half dozen at least.
I feel like I'm going insane by watching B12 / B10 refs year after year.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."

Well no ****. Kansas didn’t play like a champion on Saturday. OKlahoma state beat Texas today. That’s a win some of you bitched about last week.
That would be much easier too stomach but they were talking how Baylor was one of the youngest teams in the conference right now. No excuse for losing down there.
Great teams handle adversity and win on the road. Doesn't matter about the ref's. That's what loser's talk about when they lose.
Lard's presence was definitely missed after he exited the game until half time.
Yep, Im an Iowa fan because I hate losing to bad teams. I guess you enjoy watching losses like that.
We really needed to rip off a 2 minute, 8-0 run somewhere in the middle of the 2nd half to shift the tempo in our favor.
We are young too. Playing on the road. Should we have won? Yes. Should Anyone lose their mind ? No.
With Hoiberg unemployed and hanging out in Chicago waiting to get back into coaching, Prohm better figure out ways to win these games. If we collapse and miss the tournament we are going to see an awful fan base, asking for donors and Pollard to hire Hoiberg back.
