Ohio state rode the refs right to a victory. Complete screw job by the Zebras.

And I never complain about officials. Never. But that was atrocious.

Seriously. I've never seen anything like that in 35 years of watching college hoops. Johnson fouled out after 3 actual fouls.

Good job OSU beating us minus 4 players with tons of help from the zebras.

What a load of crap.

Now time to get healthy and refocus on the league championship.

We get to play them again in a bit. No one could blame Rutgers for asking for a different officiating crew.

Im late to this ref bashing party cause I just finished watching that abomination after taping it earlier today.

Still can't believe how OSU was handed the game. They should be embarrassed and actual forfeit and maintain a small amount of dignity.

I immediately went into 6 hours of our weekly poker game right after the game so just made a few posts in the last hour or so and said in another thread that this was probably the worst I've seen from a ref crew since that SJU BET game. Two absolute phantom fouls on Myles and failing to throw that dirtbag OSU player out for almost getting JY killed by hip checking him while at the apex of his jump. Just bad.

I just went back to play by play on the effect of 2 bad ref calls can be.

20:00-8:32 (Myles, Duke picks up 2 fouls, 12:12-8:32)
2 pt FG 3-10 30% 1st half
Next 28:32(all in foul trouble Myles and Doucoure)
2pt FG 7-10 70% 1st half
2pt FG 13-19 68.4%, 2nd half

But REFEREES have no effect on the game, or know what they are doing when they do it, with early bad fouls on the only available centers for the rest of the game by calling that loose ball foul on Doucoure instead of a tie up or the acting job to get Myles 2nd on his post up on offense, forcing both to play soft defense the rest of the way. At 15:36 2nd half, OSU player intentionally runs into Myles and like the 2nd player in football responding to a cheap shot gets flagged 15 yds, Myles got his 4th and the 5th was imaginary to foul him out and 9-29 run happens.

Beside the 5 PFs for FTs last 2 minutes(21 PFs total), *edit*11 of our 16 total Personal Fouls were at our Center position, already down Cliff before the game started and its not fishy? Sorry, no team has a 4th center to turn to, if it was if would have been Mag, who was injured also.
