Wow looking at the stats it gets even worse.
Tonight / Season Averages:
2 Pt Field Attempts Goals per Game:
ISU: 42 / 41.3
Tech: 36 / 39.2
Personal Fouls Given per Game:
ISU: 22 / 14.8
Tech: 12 / 19
Free Throw Attempts per Game:
ISU: 10 / 15.7
Tech: 23 / 23.9
So basically ISU shot from inside slightly more often than they usually do, but somehow got to the line a significant amount less. Tech also happened to foul significantly less than they usually do. ISU also committed far more fouls than they usually do, despite playing arguably softer defense due to a short bench.
Tech was pretty close to their expected free throw attempts given their number of inside shots taken.

Who knows what they can review. They spend 5 mins trying to figure out how much many tenth of seconds ran off the clock, giving Tech a free time out, but don't review a total missed call that is pretty straight forward.
At the end of regulation points in the paint were ISU 48 and Tech 26. Fouls ISU committed 20 Tech committed 11. That never adds up. Not to mention Nader's 3rd and 4th fouls were all ball clean blocks. Burton even got called for a foul on a clean block. Throw in goaltend in OT and this is hands down the worst officiated game I have seen in a while
Don't know if it was the worst I have ever seen. There were a lot during Johnny Orr's tenure, but it sure ranks up there!
To his credit, he posted that before the missed goal tending call and retracted his statement thereafter.
This is pretty infuriating. A few tenths on the clock is not going to appreciably affect the game in nearly every instance. But plays that are questionable regarding points scored should/need to be reviewable. Hell, I'm all for letting coaches have one or two "red challenge flags" like they do in the NFL to challenge potentially game-changing calls because I wouldn't even trust the refs to prompt a review. Take away another timeout or three or something. But it's pretty ridiculous.
The lead official Stuart was a foul calling machine.. A number of those calls were not his call he did not have a better view but he blew his whistle.
How could this thread have happened without me? I'm told by several of my deranged stalkers on this site that we're never the victim of bad officiating and I'm the only one obsessed with something that never happens.
It's the same as the don't rush the court people. It's Internet hipster behavior to deny reality. Some instances it's baby behavior but this game was terrible imo.
It's thankfully been a while since I really noticed the refs in a game and felt they had an impact. They were calling touch fouls on our end all night (some of them weren't even touched). When the whistle comes at the moment the shot goes up, that's an anticipation whistle. I ******* hate that. That block off the backboard goaltending was referee 101. That should be called every time.
We did ourselves in last night for the most part. Sure the non goal tend call was a killer but we did not do the little things the last 2 minutes to put the game away like not committing intentional fouls, missing front ends of 1-1 and turnovers.
The only game this year where I felt the officiating influenced the game was the WVA game. After we built that 14 pt lead WVA turned up the defense and was physically all over the players and the refs let it go until they were back in the game. That was ********. All I heard preseason was talk of defense cant put hands on players.

WVU game and last night were terrible officiating, bad enough that anyone who says it didn't have an effect is rationalizing to themselves as a coping mechanism. Two games out of 24 where the outcome was likely affected, that's enough of a statement for me to have a stalker culture harassing me for being a realist on this site.
FWIW our worst officiated game last year was a win over WVU. It's not a coincidence that officiating is horrible in MOST of WVU's games...but why do we have to pretend it's good? Really that was the only game I had a big issue with last year.

Surprised no one has brought up stopping a 3 on 2 break to adjust the shot clock. We would have shot in 3 seconds, and if not, stop the game then.
I get missed calls, but I can't imagine they're supposed to do stop a play in progress for a ~25 sec shot clock.

It isn't that we're never the victim of bad officiating, but that everyone is the victim of bad officiating at some point.
