00:02 - I wanna go back to this Purdue-Northwestern game

00:07 last night, Scotty.

00:08 - Unbelievable. - 'Cause like you,

00:09 I was watching the end of this game as well.

00:12 Now, Northwestern beat Purdue a couple weeks ago

00:14 at their place in Evanston,

00:16 and then they had the return match in West Lafayette.

00:19 Had the lead late.

00:20 I think Purdue went to the free throw line,

00:23 I think it's 48 or 49 times, Scotty,

00:26 somewhere in that area was how many free throws they shot.

00:29 And Northwestern shot like, I think it was like eight

00:31 or nine.

00:33 So head coach, Chris Collins,

00:35 after they lose in overtime, first,

00:37 he freaked out on the ref when the final whistle went.

00:40 He went right after the guy and was giving him the business.

00:43 And then afterwards, Scotty, here he is at the podium

00:47 in several different ways trying to say

00:49 how bad the officiating was,

00:52 and also probably trying not to get fined.

00:54 Here's Collins. - Right.

00:55 - Obviously, Purdue give them all the credit,

00:57 you know, for them to go to the line 50 times

01:00 in their aggressiveness.

01:01 I'm not gonna go into officiating.

01:02 You know, we have great officiating.

01:04 I just don't know if I've ever seen a box court like that.

01:07 Honestly, I've been, you know, you guys,

01:09 I don't know, you guys have been doing this too.

01:11 A lot of you guys have been covering.

01:12 - That's right.

01:13 - I don't know if you've ever seen a disparity like that

01:16 in a Big 10 game.

01:17 Obviously, we're fouling that much.

01:18 I mean, I feel like we're aggressive though, too.

01:22 You know, I felt like, I mean,

01:23 Boo Booey doesn't shoot a free throw in the game.

01:25 That's, that's kind of crazy.

01:27 If you're down 50 at the free throw line

01:29 and you take, you have a shot at the buzzer.

01:31 So, I mean, you almost have to play perfect.

01:33 We were a little bit fortunate

01:35 that he didn't shoot free throws well tonight.

01:37 You know, he missed nine free throws.

01:38 He shot almost 20 of them to Booey zero,

01:42 but he's a terrific player.

01:44 We were gonna play it out,

01:45 give them credit, - Bobba Booey.

01:45 - They had a foul to give, great.

01:47 I mean, how did they have a foul to give

01:49 with all the fouls called?

01:50 (laughing)

01:51 They had a foul to give?

01:52 Ooh.

01:53 They had a foul to give,

01:55 and they took it.

01:56 Thank you guys, great game.

01:57 - Yeah, that was awesome.

01:58 That was the best press conference ever.

02:00 And let me tell you something,

02:01 he's dead right.

02:03 The game was fixed.

02:04 They had 46 free throws to eight for Northwestern.

02:09 It was as crooked as a river.

02:11 Honestly, I mean, it was unbelievable.

02:14 Purdue spent the entire night at the free throw line,

02:17 and they still barely beat them.

02:20 The game went to overtime.

02:21 Northwestern had the last shot and missed.

02:24 They could have won the game.

02:26 And the guy, Booey, is just a freak of nature.

02:30 I thought Northwestern played their ass off,

02:32 and they got jobbed by the refs.

02:34 I have always told you,

02:35 he said they have great refs in the Big 10.

02:37 My ass, they're terrible.

02:39 They're crooked, they're corrupt, they're awful.

02:42 It's simple.

02:43 When you go on the road in the Big 10,

02:45 it's been going on since the '80s,

02:48 literally since the '70s in Bob Knight.

02:50 Literally, when they were 32 and 0,

02:53 when you go on the road in the Big 10,

02:54 you get no calls ever.

02:56 And it's been going on since I was in my mother's womb.

02:59 That was the worst called game

03:01 I ever seen in my life last night.

03:02 46 to eight in free throws.

03:04 They should be ashamed of themselves.

03:06 Keep those refs out of the Big 10 tournament,

03:09 out of the NCAA tournament,

03:10 because those refs in that game last night were ass butter.

03:14 - Nobody has good refs.

03:17 Okay, don't say that we have good refs.

03:18 Nobody has good refs anywhere.

03:21 All refs suck.

03:22 That's just the bottom line.

03:23 Doesn't matter.

03:24 All refs suck.

03:25 - I hate all refs.

03:26 - That's all you need to say.
