Just stop with the “biased crew” nonsense. Officiating wasn’t great but was inconsistent both ways. Not the reason we lost by any means.

After some run outs ISU needed to hold up a bit but tended to give it right back.

Just too frantic at times although it's also how they've won.

That early 13 point deficit was just too much to overcome when you're trading baskets with someone like Shead.

Not a terrible loss. Gotta shoot better and turn it over less if we want to win that kind of a game.

Even most neutral fans online are talking about how bad the refs ****** us in this game.

Are there things we could have done better? Sure. But the refs were a massive tilt in this game.

We will gain on them in KenPom as it was a predicted 9-point defeat! Moral victories…

Turnovers was a big reason why ISU lost
That too. If we made less turnovers, it would be closer AND if the officials weren't so totally out of their minds bad and inconsistent, it would have been closer too. They are not mutually exclusive. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THIS?
