I am maybe OK with the new charge/block rule, but I hate the cylinder rule. They got it wrong against Tre. It's a pure judgement call. They need to make it either a reviewable call, or make it like a kicked ball call - side out with a fresh 20 seconds. You can't make a judgement foul call for someone not even touching the ball handler.

I can tell you section 126 was getting ugly between fans. 5 wsu fans refused to sit down the entire game. Not once did they sit and they were obnoxious about it. Turning around and instigating Creighton and ISU fans behind them. It was getting ugly. It was very close to fists flying on several occasions.
Why do folks on here continually try to tell us how much kinship we should have with schools like KSU and WSU? YUCK! Both of those teams’ fanbases have more in common with the Hawkeye faithful than they ever will with Cyclone fans.
I remember way back when, and we're talking the '90's here, when I was going to school at UNI and drove down for a Saturday football game between UNI and ISU. This was Troy Davis era football. During the third quarter, I think, a group of ISU students came over with the specific purpose of starting sh!t with UNI students and fans. One of them even pushed me in an attempt to start a fight. I was sober, he wasn't, so I didn't take the bait.
Point is that every single fan base in the whole damn country has at least a few obnoxious d*ouchebags. In our case some of them like to post on here a lot. I think the common denominator is excessive alcohol consumption, naturally. But let's please not act all high and mighty when it comes to fan conduct compared to other schools.
This. The refs weren’t good for two teams last night. Terrible calls/missed calls both ways.
My bigger issue is that the amount of contact allowed seems to change at half or throughout the game. It’s got to be hard for the players to adjust to that mid game.
Yeah, I'm sure WSU folks were leading that drive. They were just like us fearing a collapse and hoping for it to happen somewhere else. You want to give USC, UCLA, Washington your hate, go ahead, but this logic is like blaming ISU for Texas arrogance.
That seems to be the theme of the season. Let tons of contact go in the first half, then tighten it up the second half, to the point of anticipating fouls that don’t happen.
Correct. That dude dribbled. From my understanding, when that happens, cylinder is off.
The officials were over matched by both teams' play. Looked like they were a low mid-major crew, kind of like the TV announcers.
Avery Johnson’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Nothing against his commentary or knowledge about the game. Just not my cup of tea.
Good Lord.
Low major crews don't get tournament games.
You had two guys (Driscoll and Adams) that have both worked multiple Final Fours and KB Burdette has worked 6 regionals.
Referees advance just like teams in the tournament. By the time you get to R32, you've got the top 1% of officials in the country.

I don't but she was on multiple times. Screaming and flailing her arms.
Tamin pushed off pretty hard right before one of his biggest shots. There were a handful of bad calls but nothing terrible and nothing overwhelming helping one team.
WSU/Ore St are realizing the full impact of threat we faced 3 or 4 times. It sucks.
I’ll say I don’t see any reason the MWC can’t be a group of four conference in basketball with the SEC and Big Ten.
Kstate was fine until they drank the Tang kool-aid. Lot of people here sore because Snyder was a better FB coach than whoever we had hired at the time. Their FB stability under Snyder is something we should hope we get with Campbell
Visit any Utah board and 90% of them still call the Big 12 a truck stop and think Big Ten invite is 1-2 years away.
If life were fair they are in WSU’s spot. Just a lot of a-hole people. I’d have never dreamt I’d easily be on the byu side of that rivalry.
