Nice win, we needed that. Fields was phenomenal. Over hit by 1.5 points with the help of 5 pretty BS technicals, in the gambling era that really makes ya think 🤔

Very nice win. Despite the soft refs and techs, we still covered a big spread and won easily. My hope for today was to have a relaxing afternoon, not worry about the panthers losing, and best case scenario see Vinko play. All hit.

The second half was much better than the first half, technicals notwithstanding. I’m very happy with Faizon’s play lately, but all 8 of our scholarship players turned it on after halftime.
I’m not usually one to complain about referees, and they rarely make a difference in the game, but 5 technicals is ridiculous. Unless the K was so loud that we missed a lot of very naughty words (it wasn’t), I didn’t see a single egregious technical foul (on MKE or IUPUI) today. But the Panthers had 4 technical fouls called against them in the 2nd half and still won the half by 15. I often say good teams overcome poor refereeing, and today was proof of that.

Bruce Benedict is refereeing again? Why wasn't our band playing the "Death March?" Missed opportunity!

A much-needed runaway victory, but the refs were out of control! No room service at the Ramada?

Wow! I'd never seen Bruce Benedict, Tony Brothers and Tim Donaghy work together before! I think their supervisor is Angel Hernandez!

Not sure if you can say you only held your nose at the ref when you got out of your seat walked to the scorers table, got in the refs face, THEN continued to point and meltdown at the ref after that. Ref legit laughed at that childish behavior before running Ty again. Embarrassing behavior. Was it a weak tech sure. That and the one on IUPUI's coach were weak the others were all legit.

I didn’t see all that happened, but if that’s everything that went down, it doesn’t warrant getting kicked out of the game (in my humble opinion). It isn’t cursing at the ref. The referees have to have very thin skin to throw someone out for that. If it was someone from UWM make the decision, it’s a little more understandable, though a warning should come first (unless really bad vulgarity or offensive slurs were used or something). Being “embarrassing” shouldn’t get someone kicked out of the game on its own, especially if it’s by the referee.

I’ve always maintained that Horizon League refs or the guys hired to ref HL games are awful. That being said, I’m not excusing the gesture Ty made and getting up in front of the ref but that doesn’t seem to warrant an ejection simply for a motion. Maybe if he cursed at him or gave him the bird but damn. These guys definitely had something to prove today.

The entire arena was yelling at the refs. I’ve never seen so many T’s called in a game that showed literally no signs of getting out of control. You’d think the teams were close to brawling by looking at the boxscore.
Tyler had no reason to be tossed. Last time? Maybe. This time? Absolutely not. Be proud of this one. Those refs deserved to know they stink.
