I'm not saying there's some evil, nefarious "conspiracy" against Purdue. Just continued. real. crappy. refs. Little to zero consistency; ruining the best game on earth IMO.
There's going to be a few bad calls every game, to every team, right? Goes with the games. But this pile of you know what, coming on the heels of the NW debacle? smh, just smh. 🤡 🤡🤡
 
Wow. I remember seeing a lot of those in real time. There was also the play where the Maryland player was laying on the ground for a loose ball and stood up miraculously without traveling.

The Maple Leaf Rag is super appropriate music for this considering a lot of offenses against the Big Maple.

I assumed he dribbled and i couldnt see
 
There's plenty of stuff in those videos that could have been called, but it's supposed to be a comically bad montage of calls against Purdue, and when you mute the carnival music and get rid of the comments, Edey and Gillis are hacking the crap out of people in that video too. Gillis hacks, knees a kid in the head once he's put on the ground by Gillis, and then complains about the whistle. And that's a montage of the worst calls against Purdue? Oh boy.
 
The second highlight wasn't a foul. Maryland actually went straight up there. That first play though, exactly what NW did to TJD all night. Just slapped down on his arms all night with no call.

Ok, some fair points you make. I'll admit it can be quite difficult for me to be truly objective at times in regard to Purdue.

Have read enough of your posts that I can tell you're intelligent, pretty articulate and obviously well educated in general. You can also be just a tad of a d-bag at times (ha ha!) but you can also be pretty witty and funny too, so you're ok in my book.

Enough of me buttering you up. Can you honestly say you get on here and are objective as well?

If you want to point out that Purdue's style of play has gotten more physical because of adaptation to what is being done to them without fouls being called, I could agree with that. But the question not addressed is whether that uncalled foul situation should exist to begin with? I will argue strongly that when the +/- of the adaptation is considered, Purdue's team is way on the - (minus) side of the result.

The problem here is consistency from the refs. If the second highlight "wasn't a foul" as you claim, then why did they consistently call it against Purdue on the other end of the court? I don't care if they call it or not, just as long as both teams get the same treatment. That was NOT the case in last nights game.

Dude - no one is saying that Purdue didn't commit any fouls... It was the lack of fouls called on Maryland that was the issue, when there were obviously egregious fouls committed.

And I get that. Technically, it isn't a foul because of verticality and his arms didn't come down. On Loyers drive it should have been a foul on the grab but the body was fine since Loyer created the contact, was closer to an offensive foul. All the elbow taps will really only get called if the ball handler loses the ball most likely, which is dumb but how it is. Home cooking for Maryland, Northwestern and Rutgers has just been pathetic all season.

Thanks. First of all, yes, I root like hell for IU!

However, if you saw me post away from this board (which is NOT a rivals message board) I think (and hope) you would find that I'm the guy saying 'refs blow calls sometimes, and it ends up as a fairly evenly-distributed human error dynamic' at all times, including to IU fans.

So yes, I'm the contrarian that pushes back on the narrative when I think it's false. When that happens on the board of the primary in-state rival it's admittedly a spicy thing to do. Of course, I'm also consistent in thinking Painter is freaking awesome and Edey is the hardest player to defend in college basketball -- because I also think that is true.

So to your question -- can I be objective? Sure, as much as anyone posting an honestly held opinion on a message board can be. Moreover, while I enjoy being honest and fact based, I also hope that having someone do so without Gold and Black glasses adds to the discussion.

One thing in this post worth noting -- the best practices for refs dictate that a touch foul should not be called if it doesn't affect the game.

This. Last night I watched touch fouls called on Purdue while Maryland was allowed moving screens, holds, and hacks.

I've heard people say Purdue just needs to play the same way. If we were to play the same way defensively, they'd be called for a foul every time on defense. And if Edey did what was being done to him and Painter kept him in, he'd foul out before the first media timeout of the 1st half. It truly is a joke.

If games are continued to be called like this and we shoot 15% from 3 again, we're in trouble.
