"Big 10 Refs are bad and they should feel bad" (Basketball Edition)
All I have to say has been said in the title.
Wow.
Sorry your potentially awesome game was painfully taken away from you, Ace. On behalf of the MGoBlog community, we hope you'll feel better soon.

Refs were shit but another thing to work on: Our offense looked like it was being coached by Drevno in those last few posessions. Good lord it was bad and needs work, everything went out the window

People keep saying stuff like this. It shouldn't have come down to that. Maybe it shouldn't have but no team is perfect for 40 minutes. Any other team in the country gets that ball back especially at home.

It's baffling to me that we never get any semblance of home field advantage in the refs when everyone else does (Every game at the Breslin ever, Minnesota last year, OSU 2016 in football, etc.).

My experience as a Michigan fan suggests probably not
January 9th, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
If OSU had been playing any other team, yeah probably. They were always going to give him the first against Michigan. Really didn't matter what they saw on replay.

The NCAA should institute a reply clock. If the officials cannot determine that call should be overturned in 30 seconds, then it stands as called.

I'm so sick of pointing this out, but... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BIG TEN BASKETBALL OFFICIAL. Officials are not tied to any particular conference in college basketball.

Was a shit ending to what was otherwise a spectacular game.
January 10th, 2018 at 12:44 AM ^
Let’s go to replay and call traveling every time a guy shuffles his feet when catching a pass. It makes as much sense.
January 10th, 2018 at 12:48 AM ^
If you want to get technical, Haas hooked Mo first. (Also wouldn’t ever get called, but if they were looking for the make up call that we deserved....)

the last 6 seconds of this game are why the sport is garbage and I don't tend to watch with any emotional investment or foceus anymore.
6 seconds litterally took 6 mins. the refs made themselves look like idiots. M gets screwed in the most critical game of the year.

I was pissed in the aftermath because Ace got it perfectly right in his recap. That was a high level basketball game and if Matthews bricks a shot and Edwards drains a 3 at the buzzer, then so be it. I won't be happy, but Purdue won fair and square.
That was a robbery. The audacity to go over to the scorer's table and say "We saw two or three frames" is laughable. And then to call that ticky tack foul on Wagner after the ref sees Haas hook his free arm around Wagner's back is unbelieveable.
Seriously, fuck those refs for ruining an otherwise great game.

Holy crap is this thread full of drek and trolls.
I know it's extreme, but could we instuite a 1 month moratorium on any new member posting (anyone who joined after "The Game"). The exception is the new member who isn't an insufferable troll

This is obviously a league wide conspiracy to screw Michigan however possible. We are easily the best basketball and football program in the conference, and the only thing holding us back is Delaney and his quest to keep us down.
Ohio State and Penn State are not better football programs than us, they just have the refs on their side. It must be because of Harbaugh. They're threatened by how powerful he is so they've screwed us with bad officiating.
It's time we leave the conference and maybe the entire NCAA, we'll just play intersquad games year round and know in our hearts that Michigan is still the best program in the country.
