Ellingson appeared to call for a timeout, as did at least two of his teammates, but the officials apparently didn’t see them.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">Nor did the officials see that Minnesota forward Jordan Murphy was standing with his left foot on the baseline when he helped to force Ellingson into a jump ball and a change of possession.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">Minnesota guard Nate Mason then made a basket with 8.4 seconds remaining to force the game into overtime.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">Iowa, which trailed by 14 points in the second half, had plenty of chances to seize the momentum in both overtimes, but couldn’t get the job done against a Minnesota team that was desperate for a victory.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">The reaction on social media was harsh towards the officials, with many Hawkeye fans saying that one call cost Iowa the game.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">Iowa coach Fran McCaffery didn’t say anything specific about the officiating on his post-game radio show, but he was clearly upset and frustrated with more than just losing.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">“Let’s just say there are a lot of things that I’m upset about right now,” McCaffery said without being more specific. “But the effort of our guys is certainly not one of them. I couldn’t be more proud.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">Iowa could send a tape of the controversial call, or no-call depending on your side of things, to the Big Ten Office. But what good would that do?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;" data-mce-style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; text-align: justify; font-family: Rajdhani, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">It might cause some discomfort for the officials, but it won’t change Wednesday’s result."</p></div></div></body></html>
