Was the officiating really that bad?

[creightonclone]

I was only able to listen to the game on the radio tonight, so obviously I couldn't see for myself whether or not the game was actually that poorly officiated. Anyone?

On a side note, I'm sure the Rick Hartzell discussion will only get more heated...

 

[Drive4cy]

Not really.

 

[Cyclone62]

I think you still want "is"...

Seriously, I have no idea. I'm stuck with the radio as well.

Its been fine ISU getting out hustled just shooting 3s

Getting backed doored to death

 

[troyrew]

No its been fine

 

[jumbopackage]

Officiating has been fine, IMO.

ISU is losing this one on the boards and at the line.

Finally someone is speaking sense. That's the exact reason we lost this game. Has nothing to do with Mac and the refs.

Look at the FT differential.

 

[troyrew]

Free Throws dont happen when you only shoot 3's

 

[jumbopackage]

Look at the FT differential.

That's because we spent the whole game taking shots from the perimeter and not driving into the basket where you typically get your fouls.

Drake played a great game and it had nothing to do with the officiating.

 

[troyrew]

Bad defense also causes fouls which lead to FT's

Drake will be the State Champions again

I'm still trying to figure out why Bryan Petersen is the one taking the last 2 shots of the game. Its astounding.

Oh. The officiating was fine....though the FT differential is striking.

No, very different reffing on both ends of the court. They chucked up quite a few threes too.

I won't argue with you because you obviously didn't see the same game I saw.

The refs were fine. Blaming this loss on the refs is a disservice to Drake.

Do we only have one dribble drive guy on the team? We have shooters. I know we are young and this team just needs more time . I know---I know. I would like to say great effort, but I can't. I don't want to read any "these guys feel worse than you do" crap. They should. Coaches included. Drake better win 20 plus games again this year.

They were calling tick tack and phantom stuff on us. Easy way to keep a team in a game until they get going.

The phantom foul on Eik is the hallmark of the game. Ref was in perfect pos to see he never even came close to touch him.

Because he was wide open. That was/is and always will be a good look. The 2nd one was a little forced, but in an end of game scramble situation.

I thought that they were pretty bad and one-sided. Lots of ticky-tack on their end but ISU could get mugged down low with no call. Either way, ISU should have been able to fight through it at Hilton against a bad team.

No way Hartzell should be reffing D1 games in this state.

 

[clones_jer]

Refs were fine. We only had 1 drive all night and DG got his **** stoned before the half.

Drake had several players that took it inside.

Zactly...and just enough to ensure they stayed in the game. Was Hartzell at UNI with Mac got hired away?
