Just like you are on the opposing team's message board complaining about our complaining which you are voluntarily reading? Besides, anyone would be crabby after watching that ****** of video quality for over ten minutes, win or loss.
these refs need to lose their jobs

This...the officiating was poor but we did not deserve to win that game anyway...
Nope. You are wrong. ISU fans are really bad about officiating. I would never attend an ISU womens basketball game in fear of all the 70 year old geezers spitting all over me while they boo and yell for traveling and hand checking.
The refs WERE really bad tonight. The problem is fans fail to get how bad it was both ways.
Believe me, I hate Iowa more than you could ever imagine.
And no, I don't feel the officiating was biased. Guess what...the refs aren't out to get the 6-0 ISU Cyclones. UNI didn't pay the referees. We didn't have this game in our back pocket.
These are typical excuses by guys who have either A) never played the game before....B) don't understand the game....C) will not be around when ISU is 16-14 and out of post season play
Refs are refs. There are good calls. There are bad calls. If you team is everything this message board made them out to be, you should've been up by 25 before the refs even had a shot to blow their whistle.
I would've loved to come over to this board and actually talk basketball, but it seems like that is not on option with 96% of you.
I'm looking at it now in slow-mo, and it does look like he took an extra step, but that could just be because the bad TV feed makes it look like he has 4 legs.
Basketball?.... I thought that they were playing football as much as the ball was off the hardwood.
That's funny, I'm pretty sure I saw 75% of this board say this was going to be a very close game that we had a decent chance at losing.
Wow how about going to a thread not titled "these refs need to lose their jobs" even a hawke..."panther" fan such as yourself should be able to do that.
Oh go fist yourself, what do you expect? here lemme guess, "Oh UNI you're the greatest! Thank you so much for letting us come to your complex and lose!" Oh wait I am not a UNI fan going to an Iowa game only to lose. STFU and move on. 6 posts in you decided to come and talk about "the game" and now am upset with a mild meltdown. We get it, don't threaten to not like us anymore.....
To those saying ISU did not deserve to win -- is it because we were outplayed by such a wide margin?
We had fewer turnovers. We shot better from the field. We had more field goal attempts. We just shot fewer free throws because UNI plays such a more aggressive style than we do. (Hoping I don't need that stupid pirate for people to correctly interpret that last sentence).

First off, your team plays rugby, not basketball.
Secondly, I would have been willing to talk ball until the last exchange of travelling non-call / call. After that it reached a unacceptable level of ridiculousness.
There was no conspiracy with the refs. They called a fairly consistent game, there was nothing malignant about the way they called the game. Every official at every level will miss a call occasionally, though it would be nice if it didn't change the game. The type of game they decided to call just happened to strongly favor UNI. This is the way games are called in the Valley, UNI knew where the line was because it's how they usually play.
