So, trying to pants a player right in front of the ref isn't considered a foul? I mean, I'll take the three, but good grief...the refs have been so erratic in what they whistle.

Saw this:

ISU has a top-20 home court advantage according to KenPom, yet is actually 62nd in personal foul advantage. 9th out of 10 teams in the Big 12. “Hilton Magic” is not the reffing advantage many say it is.

Their biggest advantage? Non-steal turnovers, meaning the shot clock violations, 5-second calls, half-court violations, etc. I think fans undeniably play a role in that. The magic isn’t some officiating advantage, it’s the people.

Have the student sections been changed? Seems like they are pushed further back than normal. Maybe it’s just me.
They took out the risers & chairs & put in pull out bleachers. Then they put a damn fence in front of them. I'm not a fan.

I was trying to use the communication tactic of meeting someone on their level. Thank you for noticing that.

Isn't the 'Woes me blame the refs' the emo thing going on here?

Or having a strong emotional reaction like calling someone a horrible person off of a pretty basic observation?

So happy for Gabe. He’s gone from looking totally lost to an alpha in two games. Awesome to see him persevere.
