OG got fouled there. The official had a split second to call a foul or out of bounds. He sided with thousands of screaming fans wearing gold and black.
Crean better be giving these refs an earful. You'd better believe if MSU got homered like we did in the first half, the refs would scale back on them in the second half after hearing from Izzo.
I overheard the following conversation between two Purdue fans at work today:
Fan 1: "Hey, Boiler up!"
Fan 2: "Boiler up!"
Fan 1: "…but you know what we did, right?"
Fan 2: "Yeah…it sucks."
Fan 1: "Oh well, just blame the schedule."
Already seeing comments on GBI of "it doesn't mean as much as it used to with the unbalanced scheduling" etc.
They didn't seem to care about the unbalanced schedule last year when it elevated them to a surprise third place finish.
I got a kick out of the ref saying "We reviewed the play, and it was a TWO point basket." The way he said it sounded like he was saying "I know that's wrong, but that's my call and I'm stickin' to it."
