Think about this:In addition to convincing yourselves that KU gets all the breaks, you've also been able to wipe clean from your memory ISU's early exits as a 2 and 3 seed.
Your mind powers are special.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, there are plenty of times when bad calls negatively impact KU. But when KU still wins the game (and they usually do), the bad calls don't get discussed and are quickly forgotten.
Here's a better angle. Arcidiacano gets him twice. Could have called a foul on Bridges as well.
Because those bad calls against KU happen early in the game. If I get screwed on a call at tipoff, I got plenty of time to recover. If I get screwed on a call in the last 10 seconds, there is no time for me to recover from that.As I mentioned earlier in the thread, there are plenty of times when bad calls negatively impact KU.

Think about this:
1. It is easier for fans of 9 Big12 teams to each come up with recent examples of refs screwing them in favor of 1 team (KU, 2 games a year) than
2. A fan of one team (KU) coming up with recent examples of getting screwed by the refs in favor of any of the 9 other Big12 teams (18 games a year). I mean, you had to go back 2 years to come up with your most recent example.
Au contraire...In addition to convincing yourselves that KU gets all the breaks, you've also been able to wipe clean from your memory ISU's early exits as a 2 and 3 seed.

By virtue of Svi not having to dribble from midcourt to basket...and not being called for traveling...''
Actually no, earlier in the thread I pointed out the game in Manhattan a few weeks ago. Several bad whistles in the 2nd half. But then KU still won so nobody cares.
Au contraire...
I remember those games vividly. However, they weren't due to bad calls, or even lucky shots. Our teams screwed the pooch all by themselves on those two. The Blarge vs Michigan State, in their own freakin' back yard on the other hand...

I'm sorry - did I conflate the two games? I must have misunderstood your post...but then again, it happens so often that it's hard to tell WHICH preferential call we're talking about at any given moment.Yeah, it did appear the the officials in Manhattan were going out of their way to rectify the missed traveling call in Lawrence.
In Lawrence, KU got the benefit of a bad call and won. In Manhattan, KSU got the benefit of bad calls and lost. Winners win, losers make excuses.

Almost as difficult as it is for you to figure out the quote function on this forum.Yeah, it has to be super hard to keep all those excuses straight in your head.
Reminds me of the Hitler or Stalin debate...KU fans are the worst. Except Hawkeye fans.
There it is. I knew it wouldn't be long before we saw the usual KU full arrogance.Yeah, it did appear the the officials in Manhattan were going out of their way to rectify the missed traveling call in Lawrence.

To be fair, all of you watch the Kansas games. Some of your game threads on KU games are longer than the game threads on KU sites full of whines about the refs. KU fans rarely watch your games. I don't even get ESNPU or ESPN News so I haven't been able to see many ISU games this year. Maybe we'd have more examples primed and ready if we tuned in to watch you play more.Think about this:

You think you're zinging KU fans by bring up a loss in the tourney almost a decade ago? Maybe if our longest streak of tourney appearances was only 6 years I could see us being devastated by an earlier than expected tourney exit. But this will be year number 28 in a row. Think about that for a minute. No player on the KU roster was even ALIVE the last time KU missed the tourney.Au contraire...

Speaking of "lucky shots"...I have very fond memories of a little dude dressed in purple...had a strange name...Ali...ummmm...Frogman...Frankfurter...oh YEAH...Farokhmanesh. Nice kid. Good school (son & DIL are alums).
