"They" must have thought WISC needed a Big10 TMT win (and ILL is in for certtain)? More Big10 better for whom? For TV?
Down the stretch WISC got ALL the calls to hang on and won. One call in paticular, a mid-range jumper left of key missed, ILL had rebound. Of course they called a foul on ILL even though the defender was tw feet off the guy and never touched the shooter in any way. The announcers flabbergasted also. They had to say, "lets not go there" or "moving on" or something after slow motion replay showed the truth. WHY would any ref go out of his way to invent a call? It was a slow developing, nobody went flying in a flop draw foul situation. Simply baffling?
As I said some teams even have titles when they should have been knocked out in early round games if the late calls were correct. The dirty media wont tell the real story after. Cant hate the filthy lying hiding media enough.
