I really feel like Purdue will come out with a purpose today. I expect a win.
 
Let's beat them with a rusty pipe.
I have friend who is an Iowa Grad. He sent me an envelope full of crumbs and dried up cold meat. He had a note in the envelope saying it was "the 2nd half of his Purdue-Iowa sandwich" with reference to our 2nd half pooping of that game. Man I was pissed. I'm sending him a jar of Bed Bugs after we win today. That will get him back.

Hopefully, you could send him this......we'll see in a couple of hours.....

Beat the press, that we all know is coming at some point, and we get the "W". That is the only thing that beat us the last game. Solve it and we win. I expect a victory toady!!

Exactly - not a surprise that Purdue lost at Iowa. However, poor officiating helped keep Boilers in game longer than they should have been. Gesell called a timeout right in refs face waaaay before that silly 5 second call - what was that all about?
I feel pretty confident that I could list the time of hte game and the exact situation through many occurrences of the game that would indicate many calls were missed and were not a contributor to Purdue playing well the first half or being kept in the game. Actually, Iowa makes the runs when the kneeing, slapping and shoving in the traps happen. The refs are not very good in any game, but I don't think Purdue had anymore favors than Iowa...even when Davis was over and back and it was missed. Iowa is playing really well right now and that is that...

You do realize that it's the ball and not the player that determines over and back, right?
You may want to watch that again.

three points must cross----the ball and both feet. Once crossed any foot back over is over and back. If three points did not cross, then yes it is NOT over and back, but if three points crossed then it appears it was over and back. you can dribble over and back as long as you never establish all three over the line, where when you and I were younger that may not have been the ruling...maybe 30 years ago? If all three items were not across, then yes it was not missed, but it is more than the ball to establish over and back. I thought all three points crossed and if they never it was a no call as it was called...
 
Iowa is the better team with upperclassmen with leadership. It has shown in both games no matter the officiating which has been below poor all year. Purdue has no leader.

The ball set on the floor, at the the Iowa's players feet, for a full 3 seconds before he picked it up. The official can start the five count before the player picks up the ball, when it is obviously a stall on the players part. The official did that. Watch his arm. The player isnt guaranteed a time out after a 4 count. Haven't you ever seen the official set the ball on the floor and start the five count? The Iowa player was stalling and paid the price.

It's a confusing and misunderstood rule. I think TJ is right about establishing front-court status, but I think what PoP is stating is why it wasn't called a violation. The ball didn't have back-court status, and that's what governs a violation I believe. Questionable calls or not, don't think it had much of an impact at all for either team. On the five-second call, I think the count had started before the Iowa player tried to inbound (which is official discretion); it just seemed like the count was fast to get to four, and then a TO is not granted.

actually, I've seen refs start the count when teams are late getting out of the huddle...course that was high school... :)

Again, I would need to watch it again, but at the time I thought Davis had it over the line and made contact back over the line,,,but it was quick and I haven't reviewed it. If I saw something wrong it won't be my first... :)
