Whose Wheaties to Iverson pi$$ in?
I've told my wife several times this yearthat he gets more bad calls against him than anyone in the conference.
How stupid do you think the ref felt looking at the replay of the elbow foul? Of course, the ref would need a soul first.
 

ouch. Refs are just rubes who loved basketball so much they made a career in it
 

lol

lol at the ref who had to look at the replay and see what a sh!t call he just made.



:mad:
 

I remember Iverson having horrible fouls called on him last year as well. He's the king of getting fouls called for just standing there with his hands straight up when a player jumps into him.
 

Big guys get no love from refs on every level. Despite the foul difference tonight, it was northwestern that got away with holding and hacking more often. Much the way dwight Howard gets the shaft from refs, the way shaq did in his prime. If a big guy thinks about touching a skinny guy, the go to the monitor to check if it's flagrant. If a skinny guy grabs holds and hacks a thicker guy, it is only a foul if thick guy falls or misses.

It tends to work like this at every level of basketball from 5th grade traveling to the NBA. Since the gophers strength is the bigs, I will assume gopher fans will feel jobbed many times over the next 2 years.
 


I was starting to think he was turning the corner at the FT line, and then he missed his last 4. He, Trevor and Rodney should all be forced to shoot 100 FT's after practice, DAILY!
 

Fantastic news. He had an amazing game. It is really great to see some players step up in the absence of of a couple leaders.

No, not shoot 100 free throws, MAKE 100 free throws !!

I keep telling myself it is ok they miss so many because we are getting to the line so much but it is painful to watch all those points tossed away at critical times.

one funny thing from a stat breakdown on the Badgers board-- the poster has the Trevor Mbakwe Challenge. total number of misses from the Badgers for the year vs Trevor's total misses. Trevor had 7 less misses on the year than the Badgers team before last nights 6 miss game. Good to see Trevor getting to the line that much to get the other teams bigs in foul trouble though. And it probably hurts a little to foul him inside, that must get old by the end of a game.
 

Colt gets jobbed by the refs a lot. Maybe he should not make a single facial expression when a bad call happens. Time to try something different. You know Tubby won't bark at the refs about it. It is not his style.
 

I kind of think he is getting used to the crappy calls because on a couple of them he just smirked and shrugged his shoulders knowing the refs are out to get him. I guess the refs see a big white guy and assume is does nothing but shove and throw elbows. He faked a pass and did nothing with his elbows. That guy from NW deserved an oscar for that one. Stupid ref.

That was my thought exactly. Loved that he went to check if it was a flagrant, only to have to see how bad his call was, and what a faker Curletti was. Excellent.

As others have said in the past, Colton seems to have a rep around the league for throwing elbows (and to be fair, he has a few times - last year @ MSU stick in my mind for some reason). Goes with the territory of being a physical player.

I think it was either last year or his freshman year when he did use his elbows to aggressively and T'd up for it. The refs remember and seem to watch him more closely than anyone else. The opposing coaches remember also and coach the kind of acting job that we saw last night. I mean that should get an Emmy for the worst over acting job of the decade.

That is funny. I bet Trevor misses more than the badgers! :D

Like you say, good stuff happens even if the lads miss. Seems like opposition bigs tend to get into foul trouble and have to sit a while or even foul out near the end of games which may be helping the Gophers in those last few minuites of close games. AND we get into the double bonus so we have a chance of making 1 of 2 !!!

It is all I have to hang onto as I watch the lads clang 'em off the rim and backboard.

They should start another one. # of Mbakwe dunks versus the # of dunks by all the unathletic white guys on Wisky. That'll even it up for Trevor.
 

That's kinda funny actually. I guess it helps that the Badgers don't really get to the line at all. Have they ever had a team that has under Bo?

Only 100? What is that about 10 minutes worth? Seriously, make it 1000, this the Big-10.

He's like the Hansen Brothers from Slap Shot. The refs are already warning him during the National Anthem.
