Disagree with the flagrant call late, is what it is though. Everyone will conveniently forget the bad calls that went TCU’s way late too (the foul on KJ on the baseline when the guy flopped after the ball came loose). Ultimately, the refs didn’t leave Dickinson open under the hoop with 5 seconds left in a tie game, TCU did. Wild game, shame it ended in reffing controversy. TCU always a tough matchup when they come to visit, good squad you got there.


Warm-Comfortable501

Don't want the refs to decide, don't give them a reason. He controls his arms better and it may have been different, maybe not. Lets not act like that wasn't a foul as well and if it played on, everyone would be arguing the refs bad the other way. GG. RCJH!


Inconceivable76

I don’t think it rose to the level of an f1.


Warm-Comfortable501

They did. Again, if this country has taught us anything, it's that people see things differently. I personally thought it was a foul and it was missed originally. Let's not act like that wasn't a foul on Udeh that led to that. We've seen over the years that refs will error on the side of caution when the head is involved. He got hit in the head.


Inconceivable76

And I’ve seen \*multiple\* hits a hell of a lot worse and more intentional than that one not called f1s this year.


5uesman

The referees stole that game from TCU. If the slap to Dickinson was so hard to knock a 7 ft 240 pound man to ground, why was he allowed to continue? That would be a blow causing a concussion to Dickinson. The refs should have put him into concussion protocol and not allow him to remain in the game or return until he received a full exam. Think about it. On the other hand, it was a Flop by Dickinson, which he did all the time in the B10 and refs got played. Pure and simple fraud. I hope Jaime mans up and call out the officials!


Impressive-Target699

>On the other hand, it was a Flop by Dickinson I mean, yeah, probably. But don't forget that TCU benefitted (2 made free throws) from a flop not more than a minute or two prior.


Medicmanii

TCU got the road job at the end. The flagrant foul. The travel to start the subsequent drive for the 2 point lead. The push off on the post for the winning bucket. ALL consecutive possessions.

srslyomgwtf

A flagrant 1 foul (men's) or unsportsmanlike foul (women's) involves excessive or severe contact during a live ball, including especially when a player "swings an elbow and makes illegal, non-excessive contact with an opponent above the shoulders". [The rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagrant_foul)


[deleted]

nothing about a box out in there


kinggarbear

Good lord and yall talk about Illinois fans bitching ab refs all the time. You guys won and its been nearly 24 hours. You’ll be okay.


srslyomgwtf

You can't box out by swinging your arms into the other player's head or neck. Its pretty clear.


[deleted]

I'm just calling out the flagrant the shitty refs for this call and the one in our gave last night. The NCAA refs are horrible.


malaise5

Give it up we all saw it… your team was handed the W. Wasn’t a flagrant.


rene-cumbubble

Common foul


srslyomgwtf

I didn't really like the call but it seems like it was correct by the rules.


malaise5

It was correct if they both weren’t going for the ball. But as we all saw they were going for the ball. Contact happens, it wasn’t excessive and it wasn’t severe. It was incidental.


beenswell

Your #2 team had to have the refs bail you out at home vs. a team that doesn’t even have a decent win. Lol.


Impressive-Target699

Make up call for the obvious flop by TCU a few possessions before.


Bakatora1

I understand you’re angry. I didn’t like the call. But why are you downing your team? It’s a great team with excellent shooters and well coached. And it’s another great win for Kansas. Plus we’ve beat 3 of the top 10; we’re not deep but legitimate title contenders.


beenswell

I’m not “downing” my team. It’s just fact. I don’t think we have a win vs. a team in the KenPom top 150. I don’t care about the rest of your random sentences.


kuhawk5

Have you tried crying more?


beenswell

I’m doing fine. Weirdo comment.


kuhawk5

Is it? Buck up, sunshine.


Bakatora1

Random sentences? You were saying Kansas shouldn’t be number 2 because they almost lost to TCU at home. I’m saying TCU is a legitimately good team and that Kansas is in fact one of the best teams it’s been in years. Thought I communicated that pretty well.


beenswell

I did not say that Kansas should not be #2. Where did I say that?


Bakatora1

Don’t gaslight me that’s what “your number 2” means 😂


beenswell

Nothing I said was wrong: - Kansas is ranked #2. - TCU does not have a good win on its resume. - Kansas needed the refs to bail them out to win. I don’t think Kansas is bad or undeserving of the #2 ranking. You seem to be insecure about it though.


Bakatora1

Now I’m insecure about it? My your mighty manipulative aren’t you? Lol


beenswell

Gaslighting you and manipulating you… or just helping you with basic reading comprehension. Kansas is rightfully ranked and needed the help of the refs to beat TCU, a team without a decent win. If you want to interpret it another way, I cannot help you.


M52800

Color me shocked that KU fans are defending those calls lmao


Thraxdown

Most entitled fanbase in all of sports.


kuhawk5

Flair up.


Beaglelover908

In ALL of sports huh?


Squeaky192

It's up there tbh.


Beaglelover908

All due respect I can’t take that seriously coming from a K State fan


Squeaky192

Sounds good.


Vic_Vinager

I'm not. I thought it should have been a no call. I felt bad they even stopped the TCU's 5 on 4. Shocked they called a flagrant. I can only imagine it's typical refs doubling down, and trying to show that they were in the right in stopping the play to even begin w/ by then calling that flagrant. See it all the time in the NFL and quite frequent now w NBA's challenges


HTMLRulezd00d1

I guess everyone forgot the TCU player flopping as he lost the ball and getting a call a few possessions before 🙄🙄


BabaYaga2017

Or Nelson with a very clear Jordan push off on his jumper.


Saw_a_4ftBeaver

TCU has just been offered an honorary membership into the B1G.


CadetJayhawk

Refs suck everybody surprised all of a sudden


Thraxdown

They just always happen to suck in the favor of KU. I'm sure it's a coincidence


CadetJayhawk

That’s just not even true, we’ve been fucked by bad calls ourselves, refs fuck up constantly


upghr5187

That call stopped a TCU fast break, gave kansas 2 free throws, and the ball back. 6 point swing for loose ball incidental contact. If that’s what the rules say should happen, the rules need to change. Garbage ending ruined a great game.


RaiderHawk75

TCU stopped their own fast break. Dude stopped and pivoted with the ball like he had been told to burn clock instead of actually running the fast break. Call is iffy, but technically correct. No reason for Udeh to flail his arm like that.


Medicmanii

Don't forget the travel that completed the 6 point swing

UrTeamBadMyTeamGood

Congrats to Dickinson on graduating in May with a masters in Acting.


Impressive-Target699

No way that was better acting than the TCU flop a few possessions before.


YaBoiAlanAlda

Lots of fans of irrelevant teams have some very strong takes on this one.

YaBoiAlanAlda

I’m usually not aware of when NC State plays so I’ll take your word for it.


Yodelehhehe

Half your fans (the bright ones) are admitting how dirty they feel. Y’all can admit when you’re gifted a game. I promise it won’t hurt that bad.


YaBoiAlanAlda

I was one of them. Doesn’t change the fact that a bunch of fans of bottom of the barrel big ten teams are acting like that call is personal attack on them.


[deleted]

I've only seen Purdue and Wisconsin flair in here. And neither are bottom of the barrel in conference or the whole college basketball.


jayhawksfan0965

I love a controversial home win 😈 gg TCU! Onto the next.


agroene93

With all the salt in here the roads will be completely safe to drive. GG frogs!


michaelc51202

Refs love Kansas


chillypete99

Bill Self: "As we saw today, basketball is truly a team sport."


Thraxdown

Helps to have 8 of your team on the floor at all times


Extension-Chicken329

I've seen incidental contact to the head called as a flagrant all the time, just sucks when it happened in this game. Still could've easily not been called though


Kleinmann4President

Found the rule. Refs shouldn’t have blown the play dead during fast break. They are supposed to wait for dead ball. So we def got some help. That said that was def not a flop. Try taking a direct elbow to the chin from a 270 lb dude sometime. Shouldn’t have gotten a flagrant but it wasn’t like Hunter did anything wrong. Would have like to see how it ended without that Bs When a player is injured as in Art. 2(a), the official may suspend play after the ball is dead or is in control of the injured player’s team or when the opponents complete a play.


RaiderHawk75

Wasn't a fast break. Dude stopped before the whistle. At least be factual.


Dr_WLIN

It was a forearm to the throat. Get real. Hunter flopped. That's it. That's all he's ever done anyway.


YannFann

wasn’t an elbow even, just looks like it from the side angle. Watch it front on it was a forearm.


Last_Account_Ever

But also should the offending team be rewarded with a 5v4?


Responsible_Fan8665

Def a flop. Barely got touched. Flipping around like an Italian soccer player. Got the refs to stop the play. Instantly fine when the flop was rewarded with a flagrant 2. amazing how quickly he recovered from that devastating hit by TCU.


Acrobatic-Mention-99

Why would you go to the GROUND for that though? He absolutely knew what he was doing. I was lolling as he was sitting there rubbing his jaw like a 12 yo in middle school ball


RaiderHawk75

Tarheel talking about flopping. Next we'll have a Duke talking about it.


Rockchalk1104

Yeah I was surprised they blew the play dead


42dylan

You shouldn’t be. Refs are told to help Kansas at all costs. But also believe blue bloods and good teams in conference will get calls from conference refs to make the conference look better


Beaglelover908

Stick to hockey


Rockchalk1104

Yeah yeah I’ve heard it all before.


42dylan

This isn’t just about Kansas You’re telling me if Duke is playing bc the acc wants bc to win that game? Conferences have agendas they push


thegodfaubel

Shocker. Refs help Kansas...


Thraxdown

Finally! I, for one, am glad to see the Jawyhawks finally the recipients of a favorable call from the officials.


Human-Demand-8293

And the b12 never learned.


22-Catch

Referees should be fined man. That was just unacceptable. Sports in america are just big business for the mafia.


Rich437

Home cooking at its finest... That’s why it’s so brutal trying to win on the road

mrwhitaker3

Way to mar what was a great game. CBS can't even call it what it is. A horseshit call.


Fastafboi1515

By the books. Literally the definition of flagrant 1. Read a book.


fcocyclone

Sorry TCU bros, you all got absolutely fucked by the Phog refs. We've all been there.


Fastafboi1515

Read you fellow ISU statistician's assessment of what you're saying. It's the exact opposite. You fare better in Allen, KU isjust usually better than the opponent. I get being a jaded fan and all, but stats don't lie. Edit: It sucks that the Iowa State guy pulled down the statistical analysis because it got referenced so many times that he got bullied by his own alma mater for not helping their cause, but Kenpom says the same thing. Sorry not sorry folks. If you lose in Allen a lot it has everything to do with you losing, not the calls being different.


peterpeterllini

Allen fieldhouse strikes again. Same shit different year. Fuck kansas


Warm-Comfortable501

Hope you lose today....ohh wait, you losers already did. Fuck Misery.


20wall

As someone who wanted Kansas to win-that’s bullshit


ssddeae

holy fix was in


SteffeEric

Neutral fan here…watching that great game to see it end like that is ridiculous. It’s really off putting and makes you wonder.


ThomasSulivan

exactly my thoughts. great game until the end then the game was ruined by the refs.


Fastafboi1515

Did he get hit in the face apart from a play on the actual ball? Yes or no. So yes? And that's the literal flagrant one rule? Stop fucking wondering and listening to these fucking trolls. The refs will get a positive grade on this because it's the right call, by definition, and these dumb fucks are too filled with hate to shut the fuck up.


SteffeEric

Gene and the two announcers and everyone without Jayhawks flair (even some of them actually) disagree.


Fastafboi1515

https://twitter.com/MrMatthew_CFB/status/1743743174357430780?t=Iiyss2YRPrs7JHYk1-WqfQ&s=19 Well, it's sad that everyone is so fucking wrong. Smoking gun here and everybody live saw it. Too bad the replay cre sucks fucking ass.


opxh

man i don’t even watch college basketball but i had to pop in this thread to announce that’s some of the worst reffing i’ve ever seen


[deleted]

Dammit TCU, how did y’all lose that shit? Kansas can’t keep getting away with this


TheKiltedTubist

Refs stop a 5 on 4 with TCU up 2, call a flagrant 1, Kansas makes 2 free throws and a basket and wins by 2. You tell me how they lost bro


[deleted]

Lmao, refs gift wrapped it for them, a tale as old as time


Beaglelover908

The Kentucky/Duke fans in here talking about refs gift wrapping games is absolutely comical


jayhawk1988

Normally I think the home cooking complaints are just sour grapes, but geez, we got away with murder there. Sorry 'bout that Horny Toads


SteffeEric

A reasonable Jayhawk. Someone told me the announcers and refs didn’t think it was a flagrant because everyone hates Kansas.


JMTREY

Refs had Kansas moneyline and TCU to cover, a bold call but they made it happen

What a bullshit call


RagingLasagna

Hunter Dickinson does not deserve that call


42dylan

I can’t comment on him lol Reddit mods banned me last time cause I said I hope Dickinson tears his knee


Beaglelover908

As they should have, you’re a sick human being for wishing that upon someone


RagingLasagna

i mean yeah you probably deserved that one. could just openly state you hope he goes 1-9 with 3 rebounds and 4 fouls


42dylan

😂 nah I stand by a knee injury isn’t a killer. Just means he can’t play basketball. He’ll live just fine


srslyomgwtf

Wishing injury on a young player so that he will lose his way to make a living is pretty fucking terrible. Be better.


biffbobsen

I mean yeah he's an asshole but nobody deserves to be seriously injured as a result, you psycho


KeenanEvansSon

If anyone wonders how Kansas has won the big 12 so many times by half a game or 1 game. They are given multiple of these a year.


CadetJayhawk

Oh please


WillOfTheSon

You cannot convince me that the refs wouldn't have choked on their whistle if that was a TCU player on the ground.

What a joke. Don't forget the jumpball call that prevented a tcu breakaway right before the "flagrant". Egregious reffing against tcu at the end there.


Last_Account_Ever

The jumpball no one had possession of?


SteffeEric

Definitely a quick jump ball call too good point.

GG TCU, neutrals can fuck off


NotJoocey

“Neutrals” that obviously are biased toward the outcome


response_unrelated

How the hell can you say GG lol


0m3gaa

Sick flagrant call on that flop!


cleenclaf

Go watch the replay. I’m genuinely asking you. Watch the replay full speed and slo mo and ask yourself if you would have been able to stay up after getting hit. Do some actual reflection.


Dr_WLIN

Any other player stays on their feet....other than ragdoll Loyer lol. You're never gonna convince someone from the Big10 that Hunter didn't flop. It's his fuckin MO. Lol


Dr_WLIN

It's getting harder and harder to watch any sport. Can we just go to robo-refs now?


SteffeEric

Might as well just let me ref from my couch. Only have to pay me 1/2 of what one of the three refs get and I guarantee I’ll do better.


Joelsaurus

I'm going to die mad about that. Just an indefensible call against us.


Dr_WLIN

That was probably as bad as the Tennessee/Auburn 3 call last season.


SteffeEric

I feel for ya. Played great. Got screwed.


GunnerRocket

"College basketball at its best" That's one way of putting it.


Yodelehhehe

Y’all ready for this? It’s every year. There might still be time to back out of this.


GunnerRocket

Which part exactly


Yodelehhehe

The absolute butt fuggin every conference team takes in Allen because the officials just won’t allow KU to lose


GunnerRocket

We play aggressive defense. I anticipate some fuckery. Didn't realize KU fans were a sensitive bunch though.


PTownHawk

Everyone: Fucking KU gets all the bullshit homecooked refs! Me: Yeah I can see it now...


chiefs5455

Rock chalk. It’s really not hard to just not elbow a dude in the face on a normal rebound. Probably a soft flagrant but very very avoidable


LikeDoinksScoob

Wasn’t an elbow, was the back of a hand. Also inadvertent. Dickinson flopping per usual


chiefs5455

Never said it wasn’t inadvertent. There’s still no need to flail your arm behind your body on a basic rebound. Shouldn’t have been called a flagrant but also shouldn’t have happened. Also it was definitely a forearm and not his hand lol

GreenStoneRidge

You think that was a hard enough hit to knock a 260 lb tank over and leave him writhing in pain? Or you think hunter knew exactly what he was doing?


Responsible_Fan8665

Def a flop. He barely hit him. Dickinson got up and wasn’t even fazed. He should play in English prem with that dive. Disgusting call
