Creighton @ Illinois State (1/13/12) ESPN3

Nice job by ISU fans picking up a T by throwing s*** on the court.....classy.

While I think it is bush league to do, what is a fan to do to show displeasure with shotty officiating? We've seen a rash of it lately and no one at the league office seems to care. ISU fans should know better, but on this night I sort of understand.

If you think throwing things on the court, at any time, is acceptable you are even dumber than I thought from your previous statements.

Let it go, it's Casey. In a few months, he'll be in C-USA anyway.

Personally, I think these were the best five minutes in NFL history. Partly because its Cleveland, mostly because the officials stood around for almost eight minutes before making a decision.

As I'm sure DUBulldog will agree, the #1 rule of officiating in any sport at any level is to be decisive. Which the officials in today's game were.

I'm not a fan of all this talk about things being thrown onto the court.

We all know it's wrong, but I do not like it being associated with the entire ILSTU Fan Base. I attend games regularly and would never do such a thing, either would the 8,000 + (or whatever the number) of other fans who were in attendance.

Regardless of all the talk. We gave Creighton a good game today.

Had we not shot so poorly in the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second, we could have very easily won.

But we didn't. And we lost. I think we can beat anyone in the MVC if we can show up for the full 40 minutes.

Next year will be amazing for the Birds

**Edit - And I know you have to shoot well to win. But most of our players who do consistently shoot well, did not today. Which is my main point.

Johnny Hill needs to grow up. He pulled these same antics in high school. It needs to stop.
I hope the Redbird fan base isn't judged by the stupidity of one person in attendance tonight.
Congrats to the Jays in an otherwise great game.

Creighton is an interesting team to watch. They win with offense; almost the anti-UNI. On many possessions where most teams would contest shots (many times leading to a foul) CU lives to see another play by giving open shots, not getting into foul trouble, and making sure the other team doesn't get second chance points. If you can out-shoot them, you're in business. Good luck with that.

Creighton is a really good team and as previously posted is interesting to watch. I was impressed by how coach McDermott made adjustments and worked the refs during the game. Kudos to him & them. I was at the game and I know why the younger McDermott scores so much. I've never seen a player get away with so many travels in the post. Never. I am disappointed the Redbirds didn't play any better than they did and if it hadn't been for Allen, Creighton would have blown us off the court.

Assuming I can do this right, here is a link to the ESPN highlights, including the Technical for the foul on Gibbs: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:7458756

[GOREDBIRDS4]

It was a great game, not much to add but I would like to apologize for whatever fan that through the ball onto the court during the game. I hope he was found and banned from the remainder of the games. There is no place for that at RBA and I hope that the rest of the Redbird fans are not judged by the antics of some fool.

[MVCfans]

Here is video: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=320132287 - it's hard to imagine why Hill pushed him after the foul and it's unfortunate because the ending was shaping up to be a great one.

How did I get inserted into this conversation?
