Wait…you had an entirely different recap ready to go if the refs didn’t screw us twice in the last 6 seconds.
That’s absurd.
The right up shouldn’t be entirely different!

Bottom line it doesn't matter if the team loses by one point or by double digits.What maters is the team has a 14-15 record which means no NCAA bid and another likely losing season.Yes, referees can impact game results but so does poor defense and failure to make shots in the last minutes of games.A very concerning factor is the passive performance by Bailey and Harper at crunch time.If Sellers was on the court ,he would be screaming to the coaches and team mates to get him the ball.I want Bailey and Harper to take every shot except for put backs after missed shots.They have NBA talent and need to show it when it matters most.

To make my point clear
I’m not complaining About the refs so much, as to how the game was called did impact the game
The tight whistle was an advantage to Michigan …And it did impact the game
A looser whistle would very much have helped us
It’s up to us to adjust to this quicker than we did ….

Even the announcers said Michigan got away with a travel. Plus the clock didn’t start timely when Wolf caught the inbound . He caught the ball, took 1 dribble and 3 steps through a double team , and threw a bounce pass to Burnett, who posted up and took a 3 point shot all in less than 3.3 seconds.
The difference between us and Illinois who also was really affected by sickness was our team being so young and early bad losses.
If? Why are you creating scenarios. Rutgers put up 3 fg in 11 minutes
If the shot missed and the team won they would get praise for surviving and advancing. That didn't happen. Wins and losses matter at this juncture of the season when you are sub 500
A draft of thoughts um yeah..its late at night and I want to get thoughts down. I usually do that for road games
Yes winning and losing changes that
Scoring 3fg over 11 minutes changes write-ups
Winning matters.
Great point. The disappearance of Ace/Dylan in the 2nd half was puzzling. I believe only 8 points combined. Looks like Ace was winded by the end of the game. I think Ace did a shot late. Dylan very passive late. The NBA stars come with alot of hype..they need to deliver in big moments. Its not a tough ask.
Honestly something wrong with that guy? I don’t know what “blaming the refs for the season” even means. But what I can say is that there was no such assertion being made in this or any other thread on this board. honestly no friggin idea what this guy is talking about
I always laugh when people say things like “loser mentality” on here as if the mindset of people watching the game from their couch 600 miles away has any bearing on how the team performs.
Rutgers needed one stop. The guys with the whistles missed a travel and a double dribble about two seconds apart that would have given them that stop. I think it’s pretty reasonable for people to be mad at them for missing those calls.

You said you had an “entirely different recap ready to go” if they won.
So essentially you’re admitting (without admitting) that the last 6 seconds of the game where the refs missed TWO blatant calls had a MASSIVE impact on the game.
Why?
Because if they made either one of those calls your game summary would have been “entirely different”.
Lol you literally make zero sense dude.
Your recap shouldn’t have been entirely different and so highly based on 6 seconds of play.
I’m not creating anything. I asked a simple question and you couldn’t answer it.
You keep harping on 3 fg in 11 minutes but are totally disregarding how we shot 18-20 in a stretch of the first half and 68% fg in the half.
A massive reason why we were up by 1 with seconds to go was because of our great first half. You can’t just disregard that.
Wins and losses and seasonal trends yup that matters
I certainly don't need to justify my recap process to you
First half is meaningless and I didn't acknowledge but apparently you can't read
I pointed out the same stuff you summarized in these paragraphs on my social media account.
Pikiell absolutely waited way too long to call a timeout to halt Michigan's 6-0 spurt. That's when you could sense things were going south for Rutgers.
Fans wanted to blame the refs instead.
The refs are such a side note to the huge collapse and Pike powerless to stop it
Last night spoke to how the season has gone and no one should be surprised we blew it after looking so good. A season of potential with a team that has played great basketball at times but not nearly enough of it to win games. Just not getting it done for a myriad of reasons
how do you overcome it when blatant blown calls give your opponent the ball for the last shot?
You’re not fine if you keep calling me an obsessive stalker, can’t converse, and resort to calling out spelling mistakes.
It’s okay I’ll leave you alone!
I think the point is be good enough to not be in that position. I think the cylinder calls were more egregious. Just my opinion obviously.
Some crazy thoughts, but.....
Play better (any) defense the entire game
Make a shot in the second half
Run a functional offense
Get the ball in the hands of your 2 top-3 NBA draft picks going down the stretch rather than let a bunch of mid-major scrubs throw up brick after brick
Bring a B1G caliber roster to fight in the first place
But yeah, those darn refs did us dirty once again! We were so close and they ruined our season!!!
tired freshman
was calling for them to rest at the 12 minute mark.
When Dylan is tired he is not aggressive on the offensive end
find where I said they ruined the season, genius, and I'll admit to it
They fvcking lost us the game last night.
Fine. Refs were well on the list of reasons why, but lets go with it. So F'ing what? How does it matter? It doesn't move the needle on the season. You are losing your mind over an insignificant reason we lost one game. Give it a rest.
sorry but not getting the officiating angle...sorry
if there was a travel late in the game there was also a missed travel on JaMike
there was also a phantom foul that Harper benefitted from
My takeaways
1. We HAD to be up more when we were ridiculously hot. We were 16-23 from the floor and only up 7. Our defense was attrocoius in the 1st hald and our defensive rebounding was BAD in 1st 15 or so minutes
2. We played one of our best halves of the year in the 2nd half. Our defense was pretty good. We rebounded. We got good shots and shared the ball, but we shot it 2023-2024 on our worst day BAD.
3. Pike made a monumental mistake not giving Ace and Dyan decent rest in the 2nd half. The game actually turned in the 1st half when they both sat. Dylan looked tired at the 12 minute media TO and that would have been a perfect time to give them BOTH a rest. Down the stretch they both had a tank on E and didn't make plays. Had Pike rested them we would have won I believe.

you give it a rest . You're another one who is so hardheaded you can't admit when they refs screw us.
I'm not giving it a rest so ignore me if you don't like what I say.
here it is again. THE REFS FVCKED US LAST NIGHT.
Very questionable calls - or lack of calls at end of game - to say the least !
Game was lost however midway thru 2nd half when offense went stagnant and players were shooting horrible 3s etc and settling for low % shots
Typical Rutgers when the offense is magnificent in H1 and only 20 minutes later it reverts to decrepit BB.
Losing teams find ways to lose which Rutgers found another way last night !
To me , it’s a terrible loss but in the whole scheme of things - nothing changes unless the squad wins the BTT !

9-36 fg 1-10fg..stop with one of our best halves. We were outscored 22-8 in last 11:14..that's not best half material
The end of game with 5 seconds left there is such a high leverage spot that there is nothing the officials could’ve done earlier in the game that could compensate for that. Missing a travel earlier in the game is not comparable.
Obviously we’ve had similar stuff happen in our favor in different games for example at the end of the Nebraska game last year I think we pretty clearly fouled that Japanese guy on his final shot attempt and it didn’t get called.
The larger problem is that basketball officiating generally goes to complete shit at the end of close games as the refs freeze up and are terrified of “impacting the game”
well if they really wanted to **** us like some say they could have not called the foul on the Acuff 3 and i havent seen a replay but i am sure he was fouled and they should have called it..yet everytime we foul a guy shooting a 3, rutgers fans say aah he didnt even touch him
shooting is random...we got bad cards. we made all the right decisions. By in large we played hard in the 2nd half.
