ESPN weighs in on IA v MN controversy


And I sit back and remember watching the Minnesota kid do his little dance STEPS by mid court and wondered the same damn thing about getting beat by the refs....how f*cking obvious was that and yet, our less than experienced Hawks played on...
 
He's the guy from Des Moines that's an Iowa fan to begin with.

No. He's from Muscatine; my brother teaches there and Chris was in his classes. I believe his dad is the private golf course's superintendent here in town. Yes he is a HUGE Hawkeye fan.
 
Fake refs

Fake close game results
The referee's were asked to comment after the game about the allegation that they blew the call. Here is video of their statement:

I love how the BIG says they don't comment on judgement calls. That's not a judgement call, the MN dude was standing out of bounds and everyone in the arena and on tv heard Brady yell timeout.

Exactly. They are just pretending that it is a judgement call on if he called the TO BEFORE the jump ball. It isn't a judgement call, you can hear it on the video. Also it isn't a judgement call on if a player is in bounds or out of bounds.
 
Not to worry. I'm sure the refs will be better on Saturday when we visit Izzo.
Fran should just tell his players now, if you aren't bleeding, you probably aren't going to see the foul called on MSU. Also, they will get at least 4 steps without dribbling.
Somebody better give Fran a pot brownie or something before the game or else he's going to go nuclear.
 
I think the B10 should look at the real reason why it's so hard to win on the road in the B10 conference. The officials in this conference are awful, fat, out of shape, and are influenced the crowd. Let's face it, we all want to be liked right?. The reason Brady didn't get the timeout was because the official was out of position on the baseline...and was blocked out by the guy who was out of bounds. It's crazy he never saw either. The other official on the sideline has had a long running feud with Fran...he should have given Ellingson the timeout also. Now, I'm of the mind that Brady should have never caved for the damn timeout...make a basketball move and likely you get the foul.
