For heavens sake just throw the ball to half court. Throw it directly to them down the court.

Considering Izzo’s constant bawling and the fact that we got stuck with DJ Carstensen, I thought the officiating was surprisingly even-handed. Not the s*** show I was expecting.
That 9-0 run or whatever was sounded bad. Pavelka and Markowski said one ref called and offensive foul on MSU then they reversed it on review?

The change in the call was correct by today’s rules with the reviews. Almost like kick catch interference in football if you want to look at it that way to explain it.

Ya, I understand the cylinder rule, but I feel like that shouldn't negate the very intentional elbow to the face. Thay wasn't a pivot move, that was a straight up shot to the chin.
Come on, it wasn’t intentional elbow. We
Could have played better. Too many airballs on 3 point shots in the 2nd half. And Frager getting cocky and taunting after making a shot that stuff has to stop if this team is going to make the final 4. Nice win but a lot to improve on.

Final 4??? I love the enthusiasm but I’d like to see Jim Mora’s reaction to that.

No question we could have played better.

But his elbow was moving basically vertically, with no other reason to do that than to try to clear space/make contact. It was VERY intentional (even if it was because he thought our guy would back off), and he got away with it because of the cylinder rule.

Pavelka: He got that puppy!!

Pavelka: I am so sick of these coaches owning the officials because of their longevity.

Pavelka wants to go out into the court storm.

How can you not love Pavelka???
Fred is going to force some coaching changes if this keeps up.
