Michigan State is in the midst of their first Big Ten Tournament game against Maryland. Foul problems have come early and often for the Spartans in this matchup against the Terrapins.

Tom Izzo, much like many Spartan fans watching the game, is not pleased with how the game is being officiated.

Tom Izzo didn’t hide his displeasure with a call made by Bo Boroski and you can watch it here:

Greg Gard went off on Big Ten officiating and more after Wisconsin’s 77-73 loss to Iowa

Greg Gard, just like Bo Ryan before him, isn’t commonly known as a fiery coach that makes a mark during postgame press conferences.

There are some instances, however, when that tendency is forced to change.

Today after the Wisconsin Badgers lost 77-73 to the Iowa Hawkeyes thanks in large part to numerous questionable moments from the officials, Gard showed us a side of him that we haven’t previously seen.

Boroski has officiated Big Ten basketball for some time, though his recent relationship with Wisconsin basketball and Davison has taken some shine away from the product on the court. As a referee, the last thing you want is for everybody watching to know your name.

During Wisconsin’s hard-fought loss to Iowa earlier today, his fame was on full display.
