1/2 Weekday Games

Indiana has serious injury problems. Xavier Johnson is recovering from foot surgery after an injury suffered in the Kansas game (what's up with Kansas injuring opposing players feet?) and now Race Thompson with a possible season ending knee injury during the Iowa game. I hate Indiana but hate seeing players injured even more.

I went to USC @ UCLA. Bruins blew an 18 point halftime lead, at home, scoring only 16 points in 2nd half. USC could have won but choked away their last two possessions.

BTW, the Bruins didn’t sell out the 12k seat Pauley Pavilion despite being ranked #10 and playing their bitter rivals. Embarrassing showing for that fan base. It’s going to be half orange when the Illini make their first trip. I can’t wait.

always love it when the Hoosiers go down (thanks, Bobby!), but, nevertheless, I really like Woodson. No BS here:

Big Ten officiating sets a really low bar and it's been that way for a long time.
The coaches obviously agree. When will the AD's and university admin's hold the conference accountable? I know the answer. As soon as the money stops flowing, which may be sooner than later the way collegiate athletics is currently being "managed."

He’s not wrong, Fran should have been kicked out. He did get T-ed up. I’ve never seen them just pretend it was never called like that. Fran was a man coaching with his hair on fire to save his teams season.

Well, there's a few University's and AD's who almost exclusively benefit from the incompetence and likely corruption of the Big officiating (hint: one school uses THE in their name, one uses the word "Scum" as a moniker and one likes little boys), so why would they support any change?

On the contrary, I heard 'BS' a number of times. :LOL:

The one that got me was the non-call on goaltending, when his hands clearly gripped the rim. I thought there was no discretion for that, but maybe I'm wrong. This is from the NBA rulebook:
