No the refs weren’t good. You can adjust to the officiating though. Shooting 6% from 3 won’t get it done in pretty much any game
They were also holding our guards on every screen and it only got called once. I have seen that quite a bit this year where for some reason the refs refuse to call the screener for a foul as they grab the defender to slow them down on their chase of the ball handler. It was just way more obvious today.
The way the game was officiated impacted how we ran our offense. It was difficult to do anything at the rim. We need to be better than 1/17 for sure, but it has an impact.
The fact of the matter is the game needed to be called this way in order for WV to have a chance to win. It was called that way and we didn’t respond well. Both things are true. We had our chances.
We missed WIDE OPEN 3’s. I will repeat WIDE OPEN 3’s. We also missed lay ups. Layups sat on the rim and didn’t go in. It’s just one of those games. We lost.
But everyone wants to scream about refs but we played really bad. It’s ok to admit and move on to then next game. It’s being an adult.
But the game was called pretty consistently. We would have dreamed for a game called like this over the past few years. And then when it happens, we complain about the refs? Not from me. That game was 100% on our offense and offensively game plan. Too much hero ball and dribbling. We have FOUR assists. For the entire game. That’s not on the refs.
Every post you’ve made today has been complaining about 3 pt shooting and tbh I’m just over it.
Sorry if I came off too strong
College basketball is a game of momentum and rhythm. While refs don’t affect the outcome, they affect rhythm and momentum. Refs can be bad and we can still play poorly which is what happened today
He didn’t need to score the other night. He played under control. He played great defense. He hit a key 3 to keep the momentum in the first half. We won by 17. Very odd to complain about his game on Wednesday. Very odd. He was also clutch AF down the stretch against Tech.
We didn't shake hands after the game, correct?
I think it was because of the court rush, and no need to put the players in danger... but I'm glad we didn't shake hands anyway... f them!

Just last Saturday the refs “were as bad” as everyone has ever seen as well.
Yes. ****** officiating affects the game. This isn’t a novel idea.
I am going to make the argument that the refs were awful.
It wasn’t good. I’m not defending the officiating for anything OTHER than it was consistently bad for both teams. Did Walter’s mention that or did he just lament the missed calls on ISU?
I love John, but he’s a homer, and rightfully so. He’s going to paint the picture the way Iowa State fans want to hear it.
It's because he doesn't actually understand and ball. One trick pony.
