March 2, 200521 yr Umm...I can see I'm treading on some dangerous ground posting in this thread becuase of a certain flag in my sig. I did see most of the second half (from the start up until about 3:00 to go). Honestly, I didn't have a problem with the refs at that time- was it just at the very end of the game? Interestingly, I went to school with a Mike Wilkinson....not the same one, but I didn't think that name was too common.
March 2, 200521 yr Author yea, they called a physical game for about 37 minutes for both sides then only IU was getting fouls called against them, and Wisconsin was getting away with assault, rape and murder in the lane

March 2, 200521 yr Kinda off-topic...but does anyone else refer to Michigan State as 'Sparty' other than Craig?
March 3, 200521 yr Author conflict of interest anyone? Northern Iowa's AD is also a ref who happened to be officiating at this game. Northern Iowa is also on the bubble... there were numerous blown calls IU was called for 22 fouls, while Wisconsin was only called for 11 Seth Davis and Andy Katz brought this up on ESPNews... conflict of interest baby!.... I hope the committee takes a look at this game, and of course the shoulda been upset of Charlotte(I wonder what our RPI is with a win over Charlotte)

But if Tuesday's game (Ind.-Wis.) is mentioned, I would like to believe that Sunday's Mich. St.-Indiana game would need to be brought up also. Rick Hartzell is listed as having worked that game in Bloomington. 15 fouls were called on the Hoosiers, 24 were called on the Spartans. Indiana shot 32 fts, Michigan St. shot 15. As you know, Indiana won in OT 78-74. Again I think that Hartzell (or any official) shouldn't work any game that may have a conflict of interest. But they were only 2 days apart, is ESPN thinking that maybe all of a sudden Hartzell realized(over the 2 days) that UNI was competing with IU for a tourney spot?

How about they count the hundreds of games that dumbf*** has blown.

I was up in the balcony so everything looked fine from there :thumbup
