Do we get Higgins and crew tonight?

Bert Smith is a criminal.

Post #14 is too long before he was mentioned. Let me throw Kipp Kissinger out there. Awful.

Has anybody noticed Tom O'Neil at any of our games this year? One or two years ago we were something like 0-7 in games he officiated. He's has always been my least favorite but thankfully I don't recall him doing any of our games this year.
 
flights and hotel 2-3 days before the game would be brutal.
Well, for you and me maybe. If it was part of your job, wouldn't you just choice the flight and class and costs be damned?
 
He's referring to the flights not being covered by the school, and having to pay yourself.
I understand that. It the arrangement is part of your doing business, you choose how to do that, and what you're willing to pay or not pay as part of that.
 
Nailed it. If we draw Eades Niang will have a bad game. Eades is simply awful and needs to hang it up. I believe Eades figures Niang deserves two fouls and a travel just for coming off the bench for warm ups.

Higgins is simply one of the best or the best in college basketball. People that complain about Higgins need to take a real hard look and realize they won't find any better.

Someone get this man a coupon!

Eades has personally forced Niang to the bench early in the first half every game he has officiated us. Most of the fouls are ticky tack or mysteries. I believe Eades called every foul on George last night and a travel.

If we see Eades on the floor in one of our NCAA games, it would be worth it for a fan/player/coach to take him out at the knees prior to the game. Eades is a ****.
 
Higgins yes, the rest, no. Ugh.

Yeah, 90% of the bad calls came from the two other refs.

Instant travels only on ISU, Nader travel on the nice spin move bucket

Horrendous charge call on Nader with Buddy sliding under him

Hield with the held ball no call as he lands again and puts it in

Hield piggy back on Georges (again) and Georges called for the foul

There were five calls that the national announcers said were bad calls, and every single damn one of them went against us. Pathetic.
 
Ref whining after a loss. Typical. There were more reasons why we lost the game and I guarantee it wasn't as lopsided as many of you believe.

So tiresome. Our fanbase deserves its reputation.
 
Higgins isn't bad. We don't want O'Neill or Eades though.

I notice specific refs way more when I attend games in person (which I can't do as often as when I lived in Iowa). When I was regularly going to games at Hilton O'Neill was by far the ref I'd see making the call when I saw a horrible call.

Higgins, like Hightower, gets attention because he finds a way to get his face on TV somehow so even TV fans constantly see him.
