tOfficial "Penn State had more free throws than us" thread

Seriously, why does the Big Ten seem to hate us? We represent it better than anybody else come Tournament time.

I know I'm not just crazy, because I used to think MSU never got calls in football, but I noticed that the Big Ten refs were WAY better this past year, and have in fact improved by a surprising margin. So I am able to see that MSU got fair treatment in football (except that Bowling Green game, holy crap). I think the Big Ten saw their football officials were doing poorly and corrected the problem, but I am convinced Big Ten basketball refs still SUCK ASS. I know decent officiating when I see it, and Big Ten basketball does not have decent officiating. It has easily the worst officiating of any major conference by a mile.
