Hoping for consistency across the boards on all calls in all games is as futile as hoping for all players to play their best in every game.
Big 12 Refs Strike Again

Exactly. Just imagine how open guards could get if they shoved the guy that was guarding them when they get juked, even the slightest bit. It is super easy to push someone over or away if they are already leaning that way. The thing that bothers me most is everyone saying that isn't a foul, because ISU seems to get called for this all the time with a little bit of an arm extension, whereas that was a full arm extension shove, and he absolutely did it on purpose. Certainly not the only reason that ISU lost, but it did determine the end of the game.
The Cyclones only had 4.7 seconds to go full court and take a shot. Thomas passed to Morris who took one dribble before passing to George. George took one dribble so he wouldn't have time to pass the ball off to an open BDJ and for him to take a shot. I think they should have taken a chance on a long pass to get an open three point attempt, especially when Naz was 5-5 in the game.
Seeing the replay Chery definitely did a push off on MM and Morris said as much in the post game. The thing that disappointed me the most was Hoage's T that was totally preventable. It was already the Cyclones possession after a made Baylor basket. The Baylor player fouled and ISU would have been shooting free throws anyway, then the Hoage T which was not an acceptable play. I was very disappointed in him, but he did that at least once last year.
ISU missed one of two but when they called the Technical on Hoage Baylor not only made both free throws but they got the possession and they scored again on a possession that should have been for the Cyclones.
At this point, the guys will learn more from a loss due to poor play, than getting lucky with a win. 40 minute consistency has to be a priority, and I'm sure Fred will use this game to light a fire so they can focus their best efforts on beating Kansas.
The thing with Hogue kinda bothers me because I highly doubt the Baylor player get's called for anything had they not whistled for the foul on Hogue. It's like the refs went to the monitor to try and give Hogue something more serious, then saw that he got nearly headlocked and thrown down and had to call something on Baylor.
Can anyone come up with a call or non call that handed ISU a win at the end of a game? Bet you can't.
I'm sorry, but I just can't take you seriously. However, I still read through it. We would not have gotten the Baylor Flagrant 1 if Hogue hadn't done that, so more than half of your comment is irrelevant.
I don't know what you expect from the refs, they can't call every headlock take down.
JVB hit a 3 to beat Creighton a few years back on a shot that left his hand after the buzzer.
Why does this bother you? Isn't the refs calling the flagrant on Baylor when they saw it a good thing? The refs don't see EVERYTHING that happens on the floor in real time. There's only three of them, not 12.
That was all karma. Drive a program into the ground, get beat by them on a bad call at your next job.
1997 NCAA at Detroit, Kenny Pratt falls on back of Cincy player's leg, causing him to fall down and get called for travelling, setting up game winning shot on ensuing inbounds play.
Not being a smart ***, but you asked so...
The worst call of the game has either got to be McKay's phantom charge against Gathers or Gathers not getting called for displacing Niang for a rebound, resulting in Niang getting called for a foul trying to block Gathers' shot.
