Not blaming them because they don't play defense but.....
Refs were from what conference?

Wouldn't be a Hawkeye loss without someone bringing up the refs.

Somebody needs to go back and count how many losses have threads complaining about the refs. I'd guess at least 90%.

I didn't think they were bad. what was so bad about them? Iowa didnt guard anyone all day or rebound.
You have a bad eye for basketball if you didn't think they were bad.

Of course. Hawks would have 30 wins this year if it wasn't for the refs.
Another stupid argument. Most intelligent fans want consistency from refs and not to to argue whether fair or not. If they are consistent and bad it much easier to handle then being inconsistent. Give me bad refs as long as they are consistent any day.
I never argued that the refs cost Iowa the game or any game for that matter.

I didn't see anything egregious, pretty much what I've come to expect from any game from any set of officials in the past few years.

what particular play or plays sticks out as bad officiating??
Me too, as I am surprised when after any game I can say "that was a well officiated game". It's sad how as fans we become immune to poor officiating.
Also for anyone asking for examples: you are far too immune to poor officiating.

maybe. I just didn't see anything from the officials that cost Iowa.

I didn't either....my comment in this thread was meant to be sarcasm.

Free throw shooting margins for one. Just seemed to me that they really let Oregon get away with a lot of physicality....ie, hand checking, hip checking, rakes across the forearms.
