What was up with two technicals?

Yes. If you call the first one you have to call the next one. Right? Pretty lame.
No one seemed to have any idea. You could see Fernandes yapping at the Purdue bench on his. He was confused. You could see Heide turn around toward the Rutgers bench. He was confused. Painter had no idea. Apparently the refs did the same thing in the Michigan State-Illinois game a couple weeks ago. Robbie Hummel hated it. "I guess we can only talk to our own team now."
Robbie and Jason Benetti were confused and saying it was pretty weak. I think the refs wanted to keep things under control from the jump especially with the way Rutgers plays.
Funny they call those weak techs yet Edey getting tackled and elbowed 🤷🏻♂️ common fouls

To me, the game was pretty well officiated last night. I was fine with the refs calling the early and even techs. Reduced any further yapping the rest of the game. And the refs let them play, but it didn’t get too out of hand. 16-12 fouls called is fairly low, and keeps the game from being a foul fest. Just my $0.02.
Agree it was a better than average called game.
But I think partly, the fouls were low not because they didn't call them, but likely because we took a lot of outside shots.
Still, I think they swallowed the whistle on some calls down low. I am sure Edey agrees on that count. Lol
Yeah the refs were fine last night, but that's easy when it's a 30-point blowout.
once again, edey was mugged all night and not many calls. even got hit in the head, no call. dont let a blowout win taint your view of the refs. they had no clue last night.
This...I thought there was at least 2, maybe 3 times they should have reviewed for F1. I don't think they reviewed any.
zach just takes it in stride. i dont know that most players could keep their cool getting fouled hard every time they touch the ball.
I thought the hit in the head was inadvertent, as much as the one that we all wanted a play-on with Klesmit's flop. There were some hard fouls yes, but they were all going for the ball. Just hard fouls just like the one Mason laid on a Rutgers player at the basket. Honestly the only one that wasn't going for the ball involved a little guy, Davis maybe, wrapping up one of our players, Loyer maybe? without any attempt at the ball.
I believe he was more hockey than baseball growing up. I actually think Edey is more athletic than most give him credit for. Sure he is a mountain of a man, but he moves very well for a man his size for sure.
You may be right, but they should have reviewed it. Also, the two handed shove in Zach's back wasn't going for the ball. But he's big, so need to review...right?
If you are referring to the 2nd half foul on Edey, when we was checking his mouth a bit afterwards, the refs did check the video during the immediate timeout the occurred. After the TO, Edey just shot common foul foul shots.
Classic case of the refs making it about themselves. Both techs were unnecessary.
Ogbole is really an uncoordinated guy. The one foul he drew against Edey was him trying to spin and falling down.
Edey, Smith and CMP were all in the referees ears after the foul and early in that TO. Two of the refs then went to the scorer’s table and was watching the replay I assume, but it could have been porn. I jest. Then after the TO, ZE shot free throws, and not the tech variety.
He was really horrible. Probably the worst attempted shot from 5 feet away that I've ever seen. Can't believe he didn't get the crowd free chicken after that first one he put up.
I think the one official missed shot that Zach had was a karate chop to his arms. Overall the techs were weird, like the Big Ten is directing this, but overall it was a better than usual officiated game. I remember the day when if you got in the ref's face or shouted at him, it was a technical. now they let a lot of whining go for show. That makes the two techs. seem like pretty silly calls.
That’s a drinking game in our house. That and when Ivey was here that his mom coached ND.
