I haven't seen you complain in.. 36 hours. 


Is there even such a thing as B1G refs? And, if so, are "they" biased against the best B1G team?

I'm looking back and I don't see anything about "B1G Refs" in what I wrote.

I'll keep looking, but haven't seen it yet. 

My prediction....

We lose at Minn by some "questionable" calls, ESPN comes to CP for the Mich St game, and Mich St ties up the B1G race with a win in our court in our first home loss, and eventually takes over for a "story of the year" season for Izzo.

I mean, the B1G practically writes itself.

16:02 - Smith with 3 fouls.

Can't make it up

They changed it to the bench. 2 fouls for Smith.

Refs won't have to do much if Minn shoots 100% from 3.

There it is. First half. Bring in Smith, and first possession, he's assessed another foul for 3.

Guy hasn't picked up 2 fouls in a single game this year, but these last 2, coming down the stretch, the opponents big men get to elbow and push him into the basket, while he gets ticky tack fouls. 

Refs.

Minn Williams picks up a BS call to make it look like an evenly called game for the easily manipulated stat gurus. 

[mcwterps1]

LOL

Cowan with 2 fouls and a technical! Why? Who knows.

He ends up on the floor after a made layup, basket counts, and he gets a tech!?

These refs.

14:51 2nd half #25 picks up HIS first foul.

I officially believe in miracles.

Prediction was wrong.

Weird how the refs has all sorts of ways to get in the way of the win and didn’t. Must’ve been written differently than someone thought.

Maryland has to write it's own future. 

Everything went against them, and the one guy who you'd NEVER want to shoot, who missed 8 layups, hits the game winner from damn near half court.

The refs weren't expecting that.

I still think they need to go to a 100% challenge based replay system.  You get it wrong, you lose a timeout.  Such a great ending, and those three reviews, mixed with the timeouts, really sucked a lot of the life out of it until that shot.  The Elam ending helps, but does nothing for the review issue.

You’d think if you had a thumb on the scale, like actually did, you wouldn’t leave it close enough for that. You’d probably turn every close call against Maryland and not put Cowan on the line down the stretch.

But there’s probably some conspiratorial reason beyond the utterly simple one.

I agree. You're on to something. 

Now, on a serious note, did anyone catch the graphic they had pre-made for after that game? 

Something about Maryland and MSU? My wife seems to believe it said something about a Maryland loss would tie the B1G regular season championship with MSU. 

Now, that would only happen had we lost that game against Minn, right?

Unless, they had that graphic already made expecting us to lose...
