They were NOT going to let us win this game.

[Volnanza]

Refs had nothing to do with Ziegler going 2-13 or whatever he was. 2-5 from the free throw line. Aidoo being terrified and playing embarrassingly bad.

They had everything to do with giving Edy 101 foul shots.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I agree. But play beyond the bad calls and rise above it only go so far, same goes for football v Bama and uga lately.

Can't overcome the people who control the game when they want you to lose

If I truly believed the refs wanted certain teams to win or lose, I wouldn't even bother watching sports.

Aidoo was poo poo from the opening tip. Ziegler played hard on the defensive end as always but was atrocious shooting

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I just hate blaming refs. In any sport. There's too many opportunities to overcome a call that doesn't go your way. And we couldn't do that. We just needed 1 guy to step up and score 15-18 points. Everyone crumbled.

Refs can absolutely KILL momentum though. That affects a team mentally. They 100% influenced this game, it is what it is.

Unacceptable to allow a 7’4 300 lbs get away with using his size, while calling smaller player battling using their size.

Mafia. Yep, Mafia paid the refs and caused us to shoot like crap.

 

[volme]

A little payback from the ncaa for taking them to court.

JP out played Aidoo.

 

[VolsRule]

Can’t beat 5 + 3

 

[mackievol]

Purdue proved nothing. The 19 fouls to 1 clearly is the difference here. Stop being stupid

100%

Yeah, apparently Zach Edey drew almost 20 fouls - and only committed 1 - all game. According to the referees.

 

[TJSVOLS]

Keep that logic to yourself. Not allowed. Refs cheated us. Hard. Paid off.

Are you saying that you think this game was called fair ?

 

[TrueOrange]

It’s almost like a good player of that size can be a complete/utter game changing/breaking aspect in the game of basketball.

 

[OJJ]

81 to 41 free throws in 2 games

Clearly not.. Video evidence will confirm this

 

[calban]

Hard to win when the core of your team goes 14 minutes + without scoring. Recruit some consistent offense. Great season E8 aint bad.

Awaka couldn’t play because Edey is a China doll big man

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Barnes is 70 in July, it's time.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Dude we have 1 player score double digits. No one else showed up. ZZ 3-12. JJJ started off incredible then promptly disappeared, as he always does. Aidoo got outplayed by a true freshman.

STFU

It must be nice living in a world where multiple things can’t be true at the same time

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Even the NBA calls traveling the way Edey was doing it.

I would not defend those crooks, true Ziegler sucked but Goliath traveled several times that didn't get called and 1 foul, whatever

 

[berryvol]

Edy draws 17 fouls and gets 1. What a travesty of officiating. Half were phantom fouls. I am totally disgusted.

Facts. We didn’t play our best game and missed a lot of shots. If we had made them, they’d just call more fouls. Disgusting.

 

[EZE]

Look at it this way. When one team shoots 22 more free throws than the other…it is the equivalent of spotting that team a 15-16 point lead to start the game.

It actually was an accomplishment to lose by only 6 points.

Just absurd that this game was officiated so one-sidedly.
