Look, I understand that the bench was completely useless, defense struggled at times, and Furst struggled to finish on multiple buckets. But to me, the officiating was absolutely atrocious. The fact that Purdue's front court fouled out for the only time this season was proof. Furst's fifth foil was an abomination. The most ridiculous stat of all was that, despite the insanely physical play of Michigan, Purdue drew only 14 total fouls and shot 8 free throws. Michigan shot 26, and Purdue's starters had 17 fouls.
Wolf, Tschetter, and Goldin were insanely physical. They pushed, grabbed, forearmed, and flopped over and over but saw no repercussions. At some point, you have to admit that biased officials are the cause of a loss, and tonight was that night. I haven't seen a worse performance since the Blake Griffin Oklahoma game many years ago.
