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 him…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 he’s fine overall despite his constant horrible takes, but then every game I’m reminded of just how terrible it is. I think it’s something about how confident he is in the badness.

Those calls always drive me crazy because it always looks like they’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 Bardo’s college stats.


To me it’s pretty evident that Bardo should have been shooting more threes. And I don’t think it was a good idea to tell him his first shot could never be from 3. I don’t know much about Illinois basketball in the late 80s but I think the thing holding back those Illini teams could have been their coach’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 I’m not insane and need this game determined on a scale of crazy homer (1) to Juwan :point_up::ok_hand:that ref’s daughter (10).

I’m not sure I’ve ever complained about the reffing before (I can’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 you’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 court…but I haven’t been able to see it. Tough.
