@TheConnorPils Izzo starts his intimidation before the game even starts. He is not the guy folks try to make him out to be. He teaches rough and dirty tactics. The refs fall in line.
I apologize for all my ref tweets tonight. I feel like I can usually recognize that bad calls happen and go both ways, but tonight, I honestly can’t say that. I just can’t bring myself to comprehend what we just saw. Illinois commits the least fouls in the Big 10 and was called for 4 in 3 minutes tonight. The guy who has a national reputation for dirty play trips Mirk, it’s reviewed, and isn’t called. Our center “fouls” out in OT on a Fears flop. Wagler gets mauled at the rim and gets no calls whatsoever. I’ve never seen a coach intimidate refs quite like Izzo. It’s a stain on the sport and everyone except for Spartan fans can see it. This will be it, but make no mistake about it — these officials robbed Illinois of not only the win, but a potential 1-seed in March. Absolutely positively despicable.
#LakerNation What finish to the 16u Purple game today...coming back from down 11 with a couple minutes to play. Down 3 with less than 10-sec when Isaiah Darling did this...and he made the FT! 48-47 win!
