I am up to here with fans that say stupid stuff like "refs didn't affect the outcome" or "refs aren't why we lost".

Absolute horseshit. Fans need to stand up for our guys who are getting molested by the refs in every game for the past 3 weeks. The refs ABSOLUTELY determine the outcome when they are this bad.

Leal absolutely should have been ejected. Reneau absolutely fouled Smith on the loose ball...no call and IU gets an AND1. Purdue was up by one at that point and the wheels fell off. Reffing has an impact on morale, and at that point morale was shot.

You will never convince me that there isn't something going on with the refs and Purdue.

28-3 runs aren't ref related. Sorry but they aren't.

Nah, Leal sucks anyways, having him in didn’t hurt Purdue. Purdue 100% got worked, it is what it is, Purdue needs to play better, this roster is flawed.

Exactly, I usually agree with posts by Abugabby, this one is sour grapes, Purdue got their asses whipped today plain and simple.

This wasn't a roster issue unless you're referring to the mental toughness of our top guys tonight.

If you're saying that they're not the fault of the refs, I agree, but simply inaccurate to say that a big run can't be 'ref related'. IU got away with some stuff, which isn't surprising at home when they're down at half on a CBS game, and Purdue absolutely lost their shit. Is that the refs fault? Absolutely not, this team has to be better. Did the refs play a part? 100%

Not the refs when you get bounced like that. Braden was bad, Purdue's lack of size showed in their inability to get shots off and created turnovers. Refs impacted the game likely more for IU, but come on Purdue lost based on their effort, overall poor play, a good game by IU and bad decisions. Hard to swallow when you get bounced by your rival, but blaming the refs is ridiculous in this case,
