Obvious screw job tbh.
To call that, in those moments, at the end of the game is down right pathetic. The university should complain to the B1G and the official should be investigated.
Not even kidding.

Well, I'm one of those who usually downplays the refs impact on a game, but every once in awhile it truly is bad and this was one of those games, IMO.
Both can be true. You knew they’d be in UM’s back pocket the 2nd half but Doubling up the fouls was a bit much
That was a totally pressureless shot, nobody was near the shooter, it was like a shot in warmups where you catch, set your feet and maybe it goes in. A lot harder to make with someone all over you.
Dylan doesn’t need to be right up in his face when he’s that far out but he needs to be closer than he was.
I thought Steve made one terrible mistake that cost us tge game. Most people will say Steve did a terrible job but wont get what i think the mistake was.
We play sh*t defense all year and expect it to change miraculously when it matters most.
Another day in the life of a Rutgers fan.
They fought tonight but yet somehow I feel like we care more than some of the players.
Who wants to start the thread about getting an at-large bid with 16 losses? Bac?
We don’t find ways to win, we find ways to lose, maybe we grab a game or maybe two but our ability to find ways to lose as opposed to making winning plays will prevent us from making any kind of run. We are 14-15 for a reason.
3 secs is an eternity in hoops. Easily could have drove the basketball for a layup. Mich coach said we took away all options and the deep 3 was the last option.
The problem is this…. technically, per the rules, they might actually qualify as fouls
But the refs NEVER call it. EVER. Haven’t seen it all year. Not once.
And he calls it twice in one minute during a critical juncture!!!!!
so a complaint will just just be met with ….“per the rules it was the correct call”
It’s like an a’hole cop who gives a ticket for someone going 51 in a 50 at 2am with not another car on the road (I mean technically he’s right) and then when the driver pulls away pulls him over again for not signaling (technically it’s a violation)
Maybe technically correct but total f&@king bullshit
That’s cause you aren’t the sharpest tool in the box.
Sure but Harper only needed to blanket him for 3 seconds, to either deny him the ball or deny him an open look of any kind.
Yep, rather see the game end, win or lose, with Harper taking the final shot. The minute JWill drove the lane with more than 10 secs left, I told my wife UM will now win the game at the buzzer. Mark it down.
That feels true, Ace bouncing out of the final timeout to Dr. Dre song and Dylan falling asleep on defense after the timeout on last play are two prime examples. If they win they win, if they don’t they don’t, JWill will crack some jokes for the fellas in the locker, it’s all good…..that is how this team strikes me. They never developed an ability to make enough winning plays.
I saw a guy smile on the bench during a loss once so I’ve concluded that these athletes who have dedicated their lives to basketball care less about the game than message board posters.
Tough loss but in the end it’s probably a meaningless game . Team has to win big ten tourney .
Hahahaha you literally said the thing I wrote as a parody of a stupid thing to say holy shit.
Been a Rutgers fan for 40 plus years. It was another one of those games where I ask myself when it's over, "Why do I do this to myself?"
Beyond surprising. Not expectations of moving forward with MBB . Bye Pike
Saying Ace dosent care because he was getting himself pumped up before the final possession?
Come on lmao. When I saw he was like that I was excited he had some juice going into that final shot and trying to get his guys amped up with him
Look at the way we approached the last 5 minutes offensively. That's why we lost. Pike just sucks, accept it.
There was no one near Dylan on that side of the court, only his man, Burnett. If they had 15 seconds to work with I get Dylan hanging back to help in the paint, but there was 3.3 seconds on the inbounds. He should have been on his man, Wolf never passes it to Burnett if Dylan blankets his man, and Wolf shoots a desperation and pressured likely missed three. That shot was from deep but with no one any near the shooter it’s a lot easier than it looks. Just like they said on Peacock, it was too casual, nonchalant, ball watching defense.
the silver lining from tonight....im sure someone will start it up after a win over Purdue
What’s missing is before the TO, there was a travel and a double dribble call missed
Before the possession the announcers agreed -- down one, first good shot. I seriously doubt any seasoned coach would have called it differently.
It speaks to focus or lack thereof, Dylan clearly had a brain fart lack or lack of focus on the final play.
