I can't watch the game but I've followed a bit on the web...has Verdell Jones really been taking it that hard to the rack/been fouled worthy of sheeting EIGHTEEN free throws? That almost seems ludicrous...
Verdell Jones/Fouls?

To answer your question: No. This has been a big-time homer job by the refs. Having said that, we really didn't deserve to win the way we played.
WTF are you talking about? The refs did homer us; that's part of big ten basketball. We simply didn't deserve to win regardless of what the refs did however.
A question was asked, I answered it. Simple as that. So I'll make an amendment to my previous statement because you aren't following. Here's the new one: You don't know what I'm talking about. There, problem solved.

I love how the highlight of the game was his game winning +1, the highlight clearly shows his traveling and the lack of any foul.

Jones is a real class act. Not.
That being said, the reffing in OT was terrible. I don't want to use that as an excuse because this game should not have come down to the reffing... but it did.

Exactly right. Devoe was clean on him, and the little tongue wag Verdell gave from the floor indicated that he knew he got away with one.
The 5th foul on Ralph was garbage too. You don't get ticky-tack in OT.

Verdell sensed the whistle-happy refs and put on a Parker/Ginobli/Duncan Euro-flop-fest.. seen it all the way down to the Jr. Hi level where savvy coaches instruct their shooters/drivers to fall down after every shot. Just didn't expect these Jr Hi refs to be on the court last night...
but..
the Gophers need to make these same plays with whistle-happy refs.. be aggressive, flop on every drive, etc..

Well, I could be wrong on this, but I believe that Rome is an old, old wooden ship, used during the Civil War era.
