Wisky goes up 9 points with about 10 minutes to go. Coach Krybaby calls timeout and berates referee for entire timeout. Out of timeout UW whistled for 3 fouls (10 total fouls with 8 minutes to go). Game changes.
Purdue goes up 7 points on Duke. At the time, fouls are Purdue 2, Duke 7 (with Purdue obviously controlling the game). Coach Krybaby calls timeout and proceeds to berate referee for entire timeout. Out of timeout Purdue (Pointer Roberts and Matt Waddell, specifically) called for 3 straight fouls ON THE SAME DEFENSIVE POSSESSION. Next thing we know, Purdue 8 fouls, Duke 7. Game changes.
It was like 1994 all over again. Wisconsin fans will have a hard time living that one down. It was criminal, frankly. There should be an investigation about whether a fix was on. (To contrast the Purdue-Cincy bad 'overturn' versus the Wisky-Duke bad 'no overturn'... just preposterous refereeing in both instances.)
