The block/charge call is so inconsistent it drives me crazy. There’s no way to coach it because it’s a toss up how a given ref will call it. I hate it. 

 

There is a simple remedy for this. Stop running into the defender, especially in transition. It's not that difficult.

I mean in McGowans situation the dude was still moving. They need to stop calling charges all the time to discourage that shit

"Gophers missed 16 of their last 17 shots" and still got 31 points and only down 2??

We are ahead 2 despite 13 turnovers and getting outrebounded by 10 on the offensive glass.  In fact, we have 18 total rebounds.  Minnesota has 12 offensive rebounds.  Take care of the ball and rebound we should win.

It's kind of hard when the defender leans into you as you try to avoid the charge.

The defender was moving but why was Trey trying to go around him on the left? If he goes right he had a layup.

What really gets me is how poor we seem at getting put-back points;  while the opponents always seem to do it so easily!

I would have to watch it again, but from the angle they showed there was more room to go right than left. Regardless of the officiating, we charge too much in general.

Since Pitino came to MN only 3 B1G schools have fewer NCAA appearances, Northwestern, Rutgers, Nebraska.

Gotta play smart. Keep pushing the tempo and create some opportunities. Need to pull away!

[huskerbill85]

Well this is fun!

Dunno about that call

[huskerbill85]

I was even madder that they gave him free throws until I saw him shoot free throws.  He would fit right in with us.

Today is the most vocal I've seen Mayen all year

[huskerbill85]

Cool it Lat we got this

[Bugeaters1]

No Yvan so far.

These refs starting to lose control of the game.  Let the game be physical in the 1st half, and decided to call touch fouls in the 2nd half.  One of my pet peeves.  Call it consistently.

Sometimes it happens.

Mayen on a pace to pick up 86 fouls in 100 seconds. Good grief.
