Rutgers might be pretty good this year. Their coach has done a hell of a job.

Big Ten refs are garbage. 

[HoosierAloha]

Bardo calling out the officials for the foul discrepancy. Refs finally call O$U for a foul, 30 feet from the hoop after they’ve let O$U be as physical as they want down low.

Big Ten front office is happy!

Big Ten will always get on their knees for Ohio State.

Big Ten refs aren’t bad.  They are very very good at what they do.  Manage outcomes 

[HoosierAloha]

Ayo doing his best LeBron or DWade after a made bucket. Ref looks right at him and doesn’t call the travel. Officials absolutely asleep at the wheel. Haha

Man, Illinois is in a funk.

The big ten is a gauntlet. Any team can win any night...crazy

Dan Dakich loved to wax poetic about how Big Ten refs had an impossible job, because Big Ten games are always so well attended and there's just no way to give road teams a fair shake when thousands of rabid fans are booing and screaming at you after a call. 

 

Maybe it's time to just admit some of these guys suck at reffing basketball games. Tired of people making excuses for homer refs. 

 

It's every bit as bad at the high school level. Last week, I saw a game where there was a scramble for a loose ball, and after a good 5-6 seconds, the ref finally called a foul on the visiting team. Two players from the home team were laughing as they got up, and the ref who made the call was laughing with them. Shady as sh*t.

Obviously, it would be next to impossible to prove it but.. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is how the Big Ten wants it. If they didn’t want the football on the hard court we’d see a much different style. MSU and Whizzo loves it. Painter and purdoodoo love the style too. Throw in Wiscy. I honestly think it hurts the Big Ten in several ways. First with recruiting, not sure the upper level talent want to play that kind of physical style. Second, I don’t think it helps to bang like that through 20 league games then switch gears in the NCAA. All that is just my opinion though.

I still ******* hate the Big Ten.

DePaul plays their first game of the season tonight.

Just got home from finishing up Christmas shopping a few minutes with the wife. I turned the Illinois game an and I'm wondering if there has been any defense played? All I've seen is a pick up game

Iowa's not the only B1.0 team that can give up 90+. It helps offset those 52-48 'dog fights' that this dumb conference seems to pride itself on.

Edit: Stop fouling, you're down 15. Do you get free Chic-Fil-A if you allow 100?

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Of course something like that would happen to deny us to see the start of our game

Dosunmu is really good. But that was really dumb. 

[mdn82]

Man he got two technicals for that.  Not sure what the Penn St kid did?

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

How stupid can Big Ten refs get? Is it a contest to look like you have no clue what your job is?

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

That situation shouldn't have taken 10 seconds. Double tech. Illinois shoots FTs for the foul and move on. 

[Uspshoosier]

Wisky up 1 with 11 min to go.  
Trice is on fire right now 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Wisky tried to give it away with some IU type free throw shooting but in the end they gave Izzo a nice lump of coal for his Christmas present and an 0-2 record in B1G play.

Maryland getting hammered by PU. If we can't beat Maryland and PSU who look like garbage right now, its game over for our season (those are our next two games after Illinois this weekend).
