That intentional foul call was the worst #!*#!* call Ive ever seen!

[peoriakid]

Are you kidding me? Who are these refs? Horrible. Period.

[Chico]

I don't think the refs on this board could even defend that one.

I understand it was a closely called game, but a questionable intentional foul with 22 seconds should not decide a game. That was, yet again, another terribly called game by officials in the valley.

There are just some things you can't control. Only hope you can overcome them. Unfortunately - time was an issue for them to overcome it. But one bad call doesn't decide a game.

I agree....the scoring drought for 8 minutes hurt us the most

I ordinarily agree, but this one might have. We cut it to 2 on the next play, and thus might have tied the game without that call.

An intentional foul call should not be made in that situation unless a punch is being thrown. Absolutely horrible.

I agree. Yet, it certainly doesn't help if the Braves are in the process of trying to overcome. That 3 by Dodie was huge and for a ref to step in with a call like that just leaves an unsettling feeling in my stomach.

The UNI player flailed his arms in the air dramatically and the ref bought it.Send the tape to Doug Elgin. We deserve better officials than this.

There were a million bad calls both ways...The intentional foul call was laughably bad, but BU got a lot of bad calls that went their way as well...It was just really bad both ways, IMO.

But then we come down for a layup and they called a phantom foul on UNI..so the officials were bad both ways

Unfortunately not a phantom intentional foul that gives us a few free throws and the ball back.

Why in GOD's name, ... ... ...

Do we stay in the misery valley conference? Intentional fouls go against us at home and on the road. Fouls are called on us at home without exception when the crowd {finally} gets involved. Every year. Same story. There are so many better places to go where these kinds of things will not happen! Get out while the getting is good.

The intentional foul was a totally ridiculous call... But I don't think we got homered, I think it was just incredibly, INCREDIBLY, bad refereeing all game long. I'm tired, as I recall being every year, of MVC refs. I don't watch any Patriot League games, but I'm going to suggest they might be reffed "THIS" well. MVC needs to spring the cash for good refs, and do it right now.

Big Bish and Les are not happy with the officiating, and that is the greatest understatement of my life.

Agreed. When you go 8 minutes without a field goal, losses usually happen.

Still though, that call was horrendous! I'm surprised refs don't get evaluated from time to time because that was atrocious! BUT again, I don't think that said call cost us the game. We had great defense but just couldn't shoot the ball well late. And Les was very complimentary of Northern Iowa and of Bradley's 40 minute effort. But you could tell Les was biting his lip to not say anything against the refs during the postgame. Classy move on his part.
