It was after foul call on Berke and he fell down out of bounds under basket. Thelwell, who drew foul, walked by Berke and clapped at him. Students reacted and reply showed it. My son also said after Cale fouled Iowa player late in 1st half the Iowa players elbow hit Cale in face/jaw after whistle. I didnt see it and there wasnt replay.

Forgot to add to my previous message that Big 10 is top notch at lip service. Fred and officating supervisor had talk and discussed the missed calls versus tosu. Glad to see they missed taunting call on Iowa player after Berke got called for foul. so there I got my reffing complaint noted.

My gut reaction pick in Michigan game following the debacle at Penn State cost me a possible top 5. Not sure how many people have picked game winner and still finished last in standings for that game?

I got the same feeling yesterday walking in as i did when they hosted "Ladies Night". It seemed more like a picnic atmosphere instead of do or die. I checked the website yesterday but just felt I needed to deflate. (A buddy asked me over to have his golf simulator laugh at me.) There's lots of good points being made about several different things. As for the game yesterday, I told my son when we led 18-15 that we were playing decent but only being ahead by 3 was disappointing as felt should've been ahead by much more. And even though things looked bleak we got within 47-45 and in my opinion had 2 puke worthy offensive possessions. Also thought the the Juwan and Brice departures from game were...not sure how to say it. Juwan fouls out and a few Iowa players gave him hugs and got similar treatment from Fred and a couple on NU bench. Brice fouls to get subs in and he goes to bench like he's being subbed out in non-conference game in early December. Maybe I'm reading too much but I thought it was 2 ends of spectrum. Now for stuff that's been gone over in this thread. How can you get 3 bigs in transfer portal that fell down as much as Berke, Morgan and Meah? Essegian and Berke were only okay to decent additions and I as huskerpapa noted the others were pretty much whiffs. Morgan and Meah had moments but once every 4-5 games don't cut it. Rollie was a little worse than that and Griffiths and Ulis were terrible. The turnover Ulis had yesterday is in line with 2 bad offensive possessions mentioned earlier. Either bounce pass or go over the top. He picks option 3 and throws right to a Hawkeye. Still game(s) to play and I'll keep on cheering. Things will slow down on here for few months but I'll jump back in feet first next October with the rest of you.

Sorry but I'm going Michael Corleone (me) vs Solozzo and McCluskey (Pfeiffer and Carstensen) from here on out!

He's why I'm a Spurs fan. Blew 3-1 conference finals lead to Washington Bullets in 1978-79 season. Pretty sure I've been questioning reffing since then.

tosu-78 NU-67 3

Both of these have been mentioned earlier and just adding 2 cents as still reeling a bit from the performance. Minnesota fouls Meah 3 times right off the bat knowing he's not a good ft shooter. Huskers should've been fouling 00 for Minnesota in last 2 minutes as he's a 48% ft shooter. The comeback started with the press. Not saying need to start game with an aggressive press but would like to see something done to get this team to lock in early.

UM-68 NU-63

Not really much to do with bracketology but Michigan St. hits shot from over half court to beat Terps 58-55. Just don't see Maryland doing much in NCAA tourney with their lack of depth. So they will probably make Sweet 16. MSU on other hand has 10 guys that play 14+ minutes/game and still took desperation shot to win. College basketball...ya just never know?

No issues with Brice passing to Connor on last shot. No way was DJ, Kelly or other ref (Michael) going to call a foul if Brice took it to hoop. They called a foul on Rollie defending guy 30 feet from basket late in 2nd half and on ensuing possession Brice came down and took shot driving and he got shoved a helluva lot worse than Rollie bumped UM player. Was just a bad night for most of team to have bad shooting night.

I should've included "after game is over" in my original post, my bad. I'm also guessing part of it has to do with the possibility of a confrontation between fans and players. Especially on north corners where both teams go to locker rooms. I'd gladly wait while teams leave floor to leave after the game is over. The line going up and then the bottle neck at escalators/steps on south end is poor planning and execution.

And Ulis has bar set pretty high.

We all saw the bad, was there any good? Shot over 50% from field. 9/11 fts GG made a 3 and led team with 5 rebounds. Limited turnovers in 2nd half. Outscored them by 6 in 2nd half. Unfortunately thay came early in 2nd half. Essegian had 20 points. Morgan had 18 points.

Was going to edit my post to say I don't like blaming Sam. He needs to play smart on offense and be pain in the ass on defense. psu had 6 guys in double figures. Sam is a starter and hasn't scored last 2 games. Would also like to see how his uniform got torn? Guessing it wasn't self inflicted.

Juwan may not have played well but Sam having 3 lazy turnovers in 1st 5 minutes combined with all the others is why this game went in sewer.

I would too. But what amazes me is every game is on tv and replay is all over and they don't care. And then the announcers can't call them out because they are on conference network payroll.

UM-90 NU-70

After starting game with 8 fouls to psu's 2 each team finishes with 13?

Beating my head against the wall! psu hasn't broke 75 points in their losing streak. They have broke 100 points vs Binghamton, UMBC and Purdue Fort Wayne. Embarassing doesn't come close to describing this effort/performance. I'm guilty of blaming refs but giving up offensive rebound and lay in to start this whole sh** show was bad omen. Seemed like they got 1st 3 baskets after getting offensive rebound.

Shon Morris stutters trying to defend no call on psu

No call on bodying Gary but Morgan gets a little bump and foul?

Right again. Even if get shots off we're more than likely not giving them run outs. Urgency was lacking.

Let's just get 11 3 ptrs in 2nd half from Brice, Connor, Juwan and Gavin and finish this off!
