Amazing poise by this team to just keep playing through this officiating. Really impressive to have a lead like this right now

That brooks ā€œlayupā€ was stupid. Oh my lord.

So Brooks gets tripped up after his layup and Edey steps on himā€¦no call. (Which is correct). Earlier the Purdue guy fell on his own near Brooks and gets and and-1.

Every time we talk about it out of a game I trick myself into thinking that heā€™s fine overall despite his constant horrible takes, but then every game Iā€™m reminded of just how terrible it is. I think itā€™s something about how confident he is in the badness.

Those calls always drive me crazy because it always looks like theyā€™ve started their dribble before the second foot moves.

Earlier on in the game Stephen Bardo said that his coach in college told him that his first shot should never be a 3 because you could get a better shot from 2 if you worked harder. That really stuck out to me as some flawed logic so I decided to look up Bardoā€™s college stats.


To me itā€™s pretty evident that Bardo should have been shooting more threes. And I donā€™t think it was a good idea to tell him his first shot could never be from 3. I donā€™t know much about Illinois basketball in the late 80s but I think the thing holding back those Illini teams could have been their coachā€™s mentality on the 3 point shot.

Sorry about very off topic post now I just kept getting distracted by this very entertaining game

For real, though, to the guy that analyzes reffing, I need to know that Iā€™m not insane and need this game determined on a scale of crazy homer (1) to Juwan :point_up::ok_hand:that refā€™s daughter (10).

Iā€™m not sure Iā€™ve ever complained about the reffing before (I canā€™t confirm) so it must be really terrible for me to be commenting on it.

I think that play is a good example of what I was saying about not calling a travel unless youā€™re 100% certain you saw a travel. Some officials definitely see what they want to see on that play.

I also think it is really hard to be that precise with your ability to see it. I am not a ref (which we are all thankful for) but I have watched a ton of basketball. I rarely see what they are calling on those plays. Maybe it is obvioua on the courtā€¦but I havenā€™t been able to see it. Tough.
