Are you serious?

No the officials were good this game.

[SpartyRob13]

50 freethrows = BT Record

Old Record: MSU 44

MSU needs to play better defense to stop PSU, right? Well, sorry can't do that. The ref's called far too many phantom calls early in the game.

MSU needs to hit their shots, right? Well, they must fight thru hand checks and good luck getting a rebound when you are mugged.

Look folks, its simple - blaming the officials is the lowest response to a loss, I understand. However, given the amount of college basketball games I watch - I never, EVER see one sided games like tonight and Iowa.

CBS has the stats as 51 attempts for PSU and 21 for MSU. You cannot tell me that ONLY MSU PLAYED physically. There were ticky tack calls made, and absolute clubbings on MSU not called. Horrible officieating tonight. There were 2-3 turnovers out of bounds tonight that OBVIOUSLY went of PSU players...PSU ball.

But, PSU hit nine 3's.

Over on SM someone stated that PSU attempted their last FG attempt with 6:37 left to go in the game. if true. We deserved to lose to Iowa but this was just down rite rape IMHO.

[Fighting With A Vim]

Even at scUM in '06 the Wolvies only had 34 attempts.

Granted, a few were end-of-game attempts, but that's just disgusting.

Can we get Bo Ryan to teach these kids how not to foul?

[Babies Need Tickets]

For Chrisssake, you're a mod, and there's a FT thread.

Dear god. If that's true, that's absolutely amazing.

How do you think SC and College Gamenight tell the story of the game? I bet they talk about the upset, run down MSU, and praise the Lions for a while. If free throw attempts are mentioned, how much do you want to bet they're mentioned only in passing?

I am so sick of this. I watch other teams play, and I never see the one-sidedness that seems to happen to MSU on a regular basis. I try my hardest to not be biased, and I can admit when a call is good, but what I saw tonight could in no way be considered a fair game.

You can't make an argument that this game was called fairly, you just can't. It was an absolute screwjob. Yeah our team didn't play well...it's pretty hard to play well when every time you touch a guy it's a foul. THEY DIDN'T LET US PLAY DEFENSE!!!!

That was absolutely the most one-sided game I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. It is clear from watching Big 10 refs in general that they are an absolute joke compared to other conferences.

[Big Papi]

we palyed terrible dfense. that is why we lost. yoy can't let the refs dictate the game. they made shots, we didn't. they played decent defense, we didn't. penn state deserved to win. they wanted it more. state needs a true leader. izzo can only do so much.

EXACTLY.

I REALLY try not to be biased, but SERIOUSLY?! We have been ****ed TWICE this season (however, Iowa we didnt deserve to win). Where is this BS refing for Wisc.,Purdue and Indiana???!! If either of them had a game as bad as ours tonight it would be "easier" to take, but right now the refs are takin away the B10 championship from us.

The stats/quick facts from this game are mind-boggling. Absolutely surreal.

[Blade Runner]

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.

AMEN

Looks like 6:31

[takeownershiptoday]

Maybe they should institute a coaches challenge on 5 calls per half

...oh man that would be unbearable

They'd still be playing.
