Rutgers vs Ohio State / Game Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Bac what the hell were you watching. He did not come anywhere close to fouling. He hit the top of the ball...the top of the ball. No body
I was surprised OSU didn't contest the ball with 16 seconds remaining on the clock. Granted they most likely wouldn't have won but I thought they gave up rather quickly...
I agree with Nigel they are doing a lot if growing this year and I can see them winning 20 next year and making a run at the NCAA'S
It was not even close to being a foul. Worse call against Rutgers all game....maybe all year.
I figured that part out, since I'm the same way, but it is nice to have others give depressed press conferences rather than us. I'm learning.
I have a feeling Thiam is going to improve drastically next year
What I liked (and coach Pikell alluded to in his post game press conference) is that we got contributions from everyone. That's what good teams do and that is what we need to win any game. Everyone needs to chip in.
Just curious about all you guys saying the refs missed the Sanders call, were any of you at the game? If you were watching on TV, I'll take the ref who's a few feet away over your viewpoint any day. Great win and it shows this team can win even without Sanders and Williams doing much. The bench was big time too. So much fun to watch this team!
VICTORY!!!
Sanders didn't touch the shooter's arm on that foul call. Replay clearly showed as much. No matter, we overcame it tonight.
Huge contributions from so much of the squad tonight. That was a real pleasure to watch.
Beat those Cats!

Yet when they aren't sure about some things they go to the video, the same video we see on replay.
let me say I was completely wrong....OSU played good for 5 minutes...they have no good....not only was RU the dominant team tonight but take into consideration the tightness of the first game, one might say RU is the better team at this point
Yes...because Rutgers had so many bad calls against them this year. I just watched it again, stopped it on my DVR and it was not close.....no hand contact, no arm contact, no body contact. Sanders hand was on the top of the ball after the release.
You can argue Sanders should have not gotten himself into position to POSSIBLY commit a foul, but...
100% guaranteed - Sanders did not foul the shooter.
DOESN'T MATTER!!!
Let's just focus on the WIN and the Cats!!
GO RU!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. They played like they had no heart and no fight.It's a big reason they gave up so many offensive rebounds to Rutgers and rarely contested rebounds.
Forget where he sits. He knows less about the game than my four year old. That is the real issue.
This is what was so exciting. The team never lost the faith is the coaching staff and each other and are starting to figure out how to close out and win a tight game. Just like losing can become a habit, so can winning, and this team is starting to learn how to win. Obviously it is coming too late in the season to make a drastic difference, but it is great to see so many hard working kids get rewarded for their hard work and you know they are all going to get after it this offseason and come back next year that much stronger.
(Ray) you're saying you've never seen a ref make a mistake? LOL..happens all the time. But I've ref'd some recreational games and I know it is not an easy thing to do.
Sorry, that is such a lame rationalization for backing up the call. Ref made a quick whistle there and blew it. It happens. And I would say the only bad call of the game cause I thought they did a great job otherwise.
The timing and potential to change the end game is what really caused the angst.. and a 90% shooter making all three foul shots.
(I think your last 3 sentences were outstanding though
