Is it me or did Paul walk after the block? I think there would only have been about 1 second or maybe .5 left, but I thought he walked.

Best of Luck,

Not sure about a walk but he got fouled, badly, but at that point it was pretty much all she wrote.

Yeah.. but did he really have the ball while he was being fouled? For him not to have been fouled on that rebound you'd have to say he did not really have the ball. So, no foul.

I discussed with another fan how Rutgers "Home Cookin'" is when you look at the stats after the game and it seems the calls evened out.. that we weren't THAT far behind in calls/no-calls balance.

ie.. that is the best we can hope for... an even balance of missed and made calls.

BTW.. what happened to Bo Borosky? Has he been criticized publicly recently? He made very few calls.. if any? (Didn't get a bet down in time?.. just joking.. Big Ten refs would NEVER do that!)

I looked at it a few times and it looked like he rebounded the ball and OSU #55 crashed into Paul's body when they were both in the air, knocking Paul off balance... Paul came down with his left foot first, making that his pivot foot. His right foot then came down and as he was stumbling backward he lifted his pivot foot. Just as he was putting it down again the same Ohio State player reached out and ripped Paul's arm off the ball and he lost possession and started bobbling the ball. It may have been a travel by a fraction of a second, but it was close and I think it would have been hard for a ref to determine in real time whether Paul had possession at the time, and whether his arm was pulled off the ball before or after the pivot foot landed.. But if traveling on Paul should have been called, so should a foul or two on OSU.
