Was clear to see on the replay - we got effed on that play and in general tonight. I'm not one to complain much about refs, but this game was pretty even with regard to physicality, IMO, so I don't think there should've been a 23-15/32-18 disparity in fouls and FTs. So, so many touch fouls on us (and a few on them too, but way more on us).
They didn't miss it. They were going to ensure a Michigan win by any means.
It was Dylan’s lackadaisical defense . No urgency The kid can do that for some reason at times, I don’t get it…
100%, refs sucked also and ripped us off but Dylan’s defense on last play sucked too
Counterpoint: they would've called an offensive foul on the inbounds and Michigan would've won on FTs.
The disparity of fouls was very similar to the Texas A&M screw job out in Vegas, fouls in that game were 29 Rutgers, 19 for A&M, free throws Rutgers 17, A&M 42 free throws. Similar type of disparity tonight. If we had beaten A&M and Michigan, we’re 16-13 and on the bubble for sure with those 2 high quality wins.
It’s insane. Both times guys picked up their dribble with their back to the defender and the basket. I genuinely don’t understand what else Martini and Harper are supposed to do there.
You are correct about the travel and double dribble
Why do you call yourself rutgershoopsinsider despite clearly just being a random guy?
Also Pikiell tinkered with the rotations in the 2nd Half a little too much. Why Manny Ogbole was in the 2nd Half blows my mind. It's clear he's not "game" ready since coming back from the surgery. He missed a point blank layup near the rim. What was the result? Michigan rebounded the ball and he fouled Goldin immediately. That's when things really started to snowball against Rutgers.
Here is what you are missing. 1-3 are such significant season-long issues that your 4th complaint doesn't even register as a factor to most normal observers. The alternate reality excuse making is pathetic. We are just not good.
and despite that if the ref called either the walk or double dribble correctly we would have won.
if my aunt had balls.....honestly not trying to be an ***, but do you really think the refs are our problem? I see so many MAJOR issues that have impacted our season before officiating. And if you think officiating is the reason we dont make the tournament (or even plays a factor), please lay that out for me. If not, stop the bitching and moaning, because you just proved it isnt overly relevant.
