c'mon.. it was kinda crazy.. Purdue is lofting 3s.. we are driving inside.. we are not pressing.. and Purdue is in the double bonus quite early and the game was almost over before we got in the bonus at all. Haas was out of control half the time with throwing himself into out guys and then looking for calls... and getting them.
So, here's my thought process. Purdue was never in jeopardy of losing this game. So its not just home cooking.. there was no reason to "help" Purdue.. and yet the refs were helping Purdue. That begs the question "why?" and the only answer that makes sense is that the 19 point line looked like it was in jeopardy early in the 2nd half and the refs wanted to assure themselves that that would not happen. By putting Purdue into the double bonus early.. they could manufacture points for them whenever they wanted.
And, again.. Purdue did not need the help.
Furthermore.. we know refs have bet games. It is history. So why not now? It is possible.
