What's up with the no call on Stauskas getting hammered?
That was a pivotal moment in the game, and I'm not even sure that went off of Nik.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
He got fouled but the worst part is calling it of Stauskas when it clearly was not. That basically handed Wisconsin the game since they then hit the winning three.

Dan Dakich is a complete tool
February 9th, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
probally pissed me off more than the officiating itself.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:55 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 3:03 PM ^
Absolutely incompetent officiating all game. Clear out of bounds calls right in front of them that they can't see. They wouldn't call fouls on anything. Those guys were a joke. They shouldn't be officiating a high school game.
The only thing worse than the officials was the announcer. What a tool. He was worse than Vitale.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:58 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 3:04 PM ^
Dakich knows his Hoosiers need Michigan to lose as many games as possible to win the B1G and get that #1 seed in the Midwest. He is an asshole and will be rooting against us every game.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:26 PM ^
Down three with 30 seconds left, I thought that foul call on Wisonsin's dunk was more frustrating. Gave them the tie. It seemed to work out when Hardaway knocked down the 3, but after all the no calls on Burke and McGary drives, that was ludicrous.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
one of the few good calls in the game. Trey wasn't set on that play.
February 9th, 2013 at 3:24 PM ^
Actually if you go back and look at it he was set. He beat the guy to the spot. Not to mention that there is nothing in the rule book that says a player's feet can't be moving for it to be a charge.
February 9th, 2013 at 4:02 PM ^
I thought Burke set himself, butnot until after the Wiscy player was already airborne. What cost us the game was not fouling before their miracle three. Slap at him and get a two shot foul or maybe a no call. Either way, we win. It was also frustrating how many opportunities we had at point blank range and just couldn't put the ball in the basket. Some of it was probably bodies and slaps, but, man, you'd think we could make one or two of those!
Edit: I Differ With the thread - dang not refreshing!
February 9th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
like giving Wiscy a timeout.
IME, Wiscy made a big mistake by calling timeout under their own basket (and leaving themselves with none), forcing themselves to go the full length of the floor to get off a three in 2.4 seconds. What Wiscy should have done was inbound the ball like they did and then immediately call timeout. Then they would be inbounding the ball from ~half court with nearly 2 seconds left, and would have had a decent chance of getting off a normal three point shot.
Of course, the miracle shot trumps strategy.
Oh, and DockItch trying to fault Beilein for his strategy is just one more reason that DD is a moron.

You can't be serious?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
Now bitch on....I know it can't be stopped at this juncture.
February 9th, 2013 at 4:15 PM ^
So if you were in a pick up game and someone knocked the ball out of your hands and out of bounds and then yelled "our ball' you wouldn't say anything? Your dickish attitude tells me that is highly doubtful.
February 9th, 2013 at 10:52 PM ^
If not going with the herd of whining is "dickish", I am cool with that.
Your analogy is off and seems to indicate some paranoia that many are manifesting here...Dan Dakich and the ref are out to get us...seriously, the refs are intentionally making bad calls for his own benefit (your analogy)? Well if they were, well yeah, I would say something but their not...this is how all college basketball games go...there are some mistakes. We still had no business losing that game though and if you played organized sports at any competitive level, your coach would kick your ass if you started bitching about the refs after the game. Gimme a break.
That was one flippin call my man. Admit it, we got a charging call when my man McGary had his heel on the arch. Clearly it should have been a block. If we would of won, whiny lasses from Wisco would be complaining about how that lost the game for them. Just seems un-Michigan like to be bitching so much. We lose once in awhile, deal with the fact we had a major strategic gaffe at the end, are soft going to the rim, seem a little weak in the legs right now, and generally lose any sort of consistency on offense in crunch time in tight contests. Its okay, all is not lost (unless we lose to MSU on Tuesday...then bitch about the refs all you want).
February 10th, 2013 at 8:37 AM ^
Our inbounds was good, we forced a timeout and forced them to chuck it down to halfcourt where LeVert almost contested the shot. The inbounds defense was on of the best things we did down the strech.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:26 PM ^
hell game were watching? Wisconson was the only team getting the benefit of the call nothing side of things. Nothing new, the whole Big Ten has been dealing with that bullshit at Wisconson, since Bo Ryan has been there.
February 9th, 2013 at 4:06 PM ^
The advantage because we don't do it, too. We don't even get the advantage at home. And I'm not sure I want us to - at least to make it the cornerstone of our defense. I think our style can serve us in the tourney.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
We should have gotten a make up call somewhere along the line like we did in the Ohio game.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
i guess i won't be watching ESPN for the next 24 hours.. this game is the only thing they will talk about until another story over takes it
February 10th, 2013 at 8:30 AM ^
Lucky for you they just went crazy with the 5 OT ND game

February 9th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
Well, we took 53 2 point baskets and 2 free throws. So, yeah.
It's not like we weren't aggressive here.
February 9th, 2013 at 4:36 PM ^
really pisses me off. Michigan was the far more agressive team, going to the basket the entire day. Wisconson shot 24 threes, six more than UM, but still took 10 free throws to 2 for UM.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
its fuckin stupid, that's whats up. Now IM gonna go get hammered.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 2:24 PM ^
in OT without the officiating.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:31 PM ^
*Homecourt advantage in the B1G is ridiculous everywhere except Crisler.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
To be fair, it's not bad at Northwestern or PSU.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
They're terrible anyway, so would we even notice?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 2:56 PM ^
Did he watch the OSU game for this year?
It was the loudest I ever heard. Definitely on par with @ OSU, while IU was probably a little bit louder.
February 9th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
I was there. It was very loud at times (specifically, the end of the game), but it was not that loud for long stretches. Our fans have trouble keeping their intensity for entire games.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:23 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 2:28 PM ^
are played on a neutral court. The home court aspect, like what we saw today, is eliminated.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:43 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 2:23 PM ^
Just realized we had exactly ONE trip to the free throw line the entire game. WTF.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
Welcome to life as a favorite in the B1G.....road teams have to be at least 10 pts better.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
I didn't see Michigan getting a whole lot of homecooking against OSU. Your statement has some truth to it, however with Wisconson the homecooking is ratched up to 10.
Not to mention why is the home court bias ok? People just pass it off like it is perfectly acceptable. Just because it is norm doesn't make it right. Basketball officials seem to be the only ones not held accountable for calling a fair game.
February 9th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
Compare to Beilein, Tubby, Painter who are more laid back and don't seem to have as big of a home court advantage iMO.
The fans are definitely the biggest factor, and I don't necessarily want Beilein to start acting like Bo Ryan, but I just wonder if his calm nature doesn't help the refs give us calls at home.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:24 PM ^
I never thought I would want Dickey V to announce another game but whoever was announcing today was horrible. It was like he was trying to pick up the refs at a bar so he could make out with them
