So painful for Rutgers. Did everything to win, then got beat on a prayer
Man, Rutgers deserved that one.
But Rutgers defense is scary good. They aren't pretty offensively, but if they can clean the glass and take care of the ball I'd say they're a top 4 B1G team. Glad we don't have to go to the RAC this year.
This just in - Iowa can make wide open threes and lay ups. What is with Iowa State tonight?
ISU been garbage all night plus Iowa hitting 3s at a crazy rate. Game started 20-2 or something like that.
The Gophers are not very good.
That's redundant.
Even for them, they suck this year.
I don't even have to see tonight's game and I can tell you the noncall on Dicky Beal's travel was worse.

I didn't even notice that. Good eye. That must have been what the Rutgers big guy was upset about. He was pointing right at the spot.
The Larry Scirotto special. Dude is a straight up corrupt official, and that’s part of the reason he’s allowed to officiate.
He’s been fired twice as chief or assistant chief of police for corruption; once in PA, was blacklisted, hired again in FL a few years later, then fired again both for corruption.
The B1G and NCAA knows this… of all the referees why do they need to hire a twice corrupt cop? Because sometimes Vegas calls the shots, but sometimes the conferences do too (see MI vs IL football).
Sad reality, but too much money on the line.
Tom Crean on ESPN agrees that it was a horrible non-call and that the basket should not have counted. But… because the referees didn’t actually call anything on the floor, that play is not reviewable… even as they look at the footage to see if he got the shot off in time.
Also, while we’re at it… can we talk about Rutger’s absolutely stupid decision to foul with a three point lead — in the backcourt… and with 5.8 seconds left. That foul-with-a-three-point-lead plan should only be employed inside of three seconds… and even then you’d better be sure the ball handler isn’t shooting.
I wouldn’t think so. Has there ever been a case of a college basketball result overturned after the fact?

It was rediculous. Iowa kept bombing them, all night. Iowa state couldn’t him them and Iowa spaced the ball out so ISU’s pressure was ineffective. I hate to say it but Fran had a great game plan and coached this game very well. Now excuse me while I wash my mouth out with soap
Can you provide links to stories about these firings for corruption? I’ve seen this same thing posted on here before (not sure if by you). All I’ve found is that he retired/resigned (not fired) from Pittsburgh force. He was fired from Ft Lauderdale force as you say, but not for corruption but rather alleged discriminatory practices (giving promotions based on race and gender). None of stories I’ve seen mention corruption at all.
The ball handler also stepped out of bounds before the pass.The trailing official had to see it.Another ref was standing right on the line at OSU's end.Hard to see how both violations were missed.
