While I personally am pissed off at the state of IU Basketball... ultimately I feel sorry for the students at IU.
If this student's perspective is common in Bloomington... I feel even worse.

I like this section of the article. Guess you need to have your head examined Steve.
The officials didn't help matters either, as Ed Hightower and his crew seem to always call touch fouls on the Hoosiers and allow Killingsworth and the other IU post players to get mauled. Tuesday night, they called 26 personal fouls on IU while only hanging Iowa with 10. A 16-foul difference is ridiculous and if you believe that the Hawkeyes simply played that much cleaner than the Hoosiers, you need to have your head examined. Davis obviously felt the officiating was horrible as he verbally sparred with Hightower all night, eventually receiving a technical foul in the second half. As most people know, the Big Ten has the worst officials in the country, in basketball as well as football. Big Ten officiating is the reason we now have instant replay in college football, because there were so many instances in which they blew calls that we needed to add a system to constantly correct their mistakes. Who can forget Joe Paterno sprinting off the field to almost tackle an officiating crew, just to give them a piece of his mind? The basketball officials in the Big Ten own a similar tradition of excellence.
