Grill got called for a phantom foul running in front of the WV player as he went in for a lay up. Didn't touch him and gave him the and 1.
That game was stolen from us.
- Thread starter hall4cy
- Start date
He is either a poor ball handler or not confident in it which then makes him poor on the dribble and contributes to our issues when pressed
No way. Refs would call a foul on iowa st, and WVU would make 2 free throws
Croissant extends his leg & his foot hits Grill's foot. Definitely a foul.
It would be different if we were playing bad out of position defense. No way they should have been called for 30 fouls. We absolutely did not foul more than West Virginia.
When you say play like a master you mean complain to the ref about every call and flap your arms like a bird. At one point I thought he might fly off the ground.
I don't blame him. It was a fist fight in a phone booth all game and you go up for the that layup you expect contact. Correct call but from the refs poor performance it looks like a blown call.
Usually we lose the game because the other team was better. Clearly not the case tonight.
Like I said in the game thread.......reminded me of the Kansas State football game with 3 picked up flags.
That wasnt the issue.
The problem was he was more concerned about throwing his head back and selling the foul than he was making the layup. An egregious mistake with how the game was being called. If he pays more attention to making the shot, just like at the end of the OSU game, he likely makes it.
Grill has been great this year but the pouting the frustration bs with the refs or how's he's guarded needs to stop. Play your game as the other stuff is out of your control.
So isu. I saw lots of missed bunnies and countless fuckups.
First time caller. Do you have two eyes, and a functional brain? Just asking
There is NO WAY a technical from TJ would have fixed that officiating. Not in that arena, against that coach, and from a young coach for Iowa State University.
I'm often a ref apologist but that was a poorly officiated game. I'd be really curious to know these refs' schedules. Felt like guys that weren't used to working together and different opinions about how close to call the game.
I'm also pretty sure at least 1 or 2 of them are mainly ACC/Big 10 guys. It's a recurring problem that refs for WVU home games are often doing primarily just their games in the Big 12. I'm worried about whether there will be similar issues with BYU and UCF.

When we suck, we suck. Sucked at Iowa. Sucked down the stretch at TT....... but this was truly the worst officiating I have ever seen. It makes me sad........ for everyone, including us hard-core fans. My mind is blown by all of it...... but that flagrant foul and the reverse on the travel call and the reverse on Rob Jones in the first half. I have to wonder if a complaint can't somehow be filed. It was crazy
I know that this is what you do, but seriously, just stop it.
This is such a stupid take. There is so much variance in college bball and especially in the B12 where any road game is tough to win. Oklahoma beat #2 Alabama by 24 a couple weeks ago. WVU was favored by 5 tonight, so we played exactly as the #11 team should. It’s reasonable to be upset with awful officiating as it makes it that much harder and in this case probably cost us the game.
It's the truth, you're fine with 5 straight losses? I'm sick of it. We are throwing away a Big 12 title shot.
