Not even the worst call of the game. The would be the T
I didn't think the T was as bad because they thought they saw something. The out of bounds one they looked at replay and still got it wrong. Both were really bad.

I know this should be in the game thread but it deserves is own thread.

Burton had contortions when he was saving the basketball. Second, he was standing out of bounds when he saved it so by rule he can't have possession. Third, the ball hit out of bounds before burton tried to save it. Should have been ball with 2 seconds on shot clock.

All that would be fine in the flow of the game but how do they freaking miss it on replay?

Your join date and post count are high enough and early enough, that you should know this isn't true. Hell we have apology letters for calls that were far worse than that.

Funniest thing is Burton was never credited with a turnover from it. Thought he had possession!

Can't wait for Clone52 to come back here in 25 years when we're all complaining about a call and tell us it doesn't come close to comparing to the time Burton tried to save a ball from going out of bounds and they claimed he had possession even though his foot was on the line before he touched it.

The officiating was so bad that wasn't even the worst call of the game..That technical on Matt has to be one of the biggest BS calls I've seen. I don't know who made the game suck to watch more...them or the ESPN commentators. .

I'm not saying it was the most impactful call ever. It was pretty meaningless. However, when you look at a replay and say that a player who is standing out of bounds has possession of the ball, that is pretty ridiculous.

For other teams you might be right.

ISU has had an opponent score 3 points on them during a dead ball. Bad calls against us begin and end there.

Having a KU player get an on-ball foul called on them when they're 3 feet away from the ball so the star can stay in the game will always be up there.

The Burton/possession call was odd but wasn't late enough in the game to get much of my attention.
