Northwestern-Michigan press conference: Chris Collins takes subtle shots at referees

Collins held back his true feelings, but his message was pretty clear. Tre Demps and Alex Olah also spoke, and were very emotional.

INDIANAPOLIS — Northwestern Wildcats was eliminated in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday afternoon in Indianapolis, losing 72-70 to the Michigan Wolverines in a crazy overtime affair.

Understandably, Northwestern's players and coaches were devastated after the loss, especially seniors Tre Demps and Alex Olah. Head coach Chris Collins was as well. All three were very emotional at the postgame press conference, in which Collins not-so-subtly tweaked the officiating for some perceived slights against his team.
