9 fouls against our centers!

Leaving us no ability to defend the basket or aggressively rebound.

This was the dictionary definition of not allowing the players to decide the game.

Personally I’ve never seen a good team, and we are damn good, be reduced by the officials to the point of non competitiveness like today.

Well, given our backup center was out, they knew it was a weakness. Liddells first foul was like 10 minutes into the second period. Our centers had 10 I think if you add Reiber.

And then they stuff the sheet with 4 fouls on Liddell long after they screwed us.

Just noticed that. Even more not happy.

Just giving the fans what they want. It’s Bo Boroski who puts the asses in the seats after all.

We were not only not allowed to play defense, we were not even allowed to not play defense.

And a lot of that crap they called on Myles was pathetic.

And there were at least 4 times our guys went in for layups in the first half and got nailed by OSU and not a single call; apparently if we nicked them on the arm that is a foul but if they hit us with the body and knock our players down that is not a foul; The reffing was a joke from the outset; They missed 2 or 3 travels on them and how about a moving pick they called one on them when they were doing it all game

It even looked like Reiber's block was clean. Couple soft ones on Duke too. Meanwhile a lotttt of contact on our drives to the basket

Reason #1 why it's tough to win on the road in the Big Ten.
OSU's most significant contributors were wearing black-and-white striped shirts.

Aside from the terrible calls on MJ, it’s annoying af that RU generally gets zero respect driving to the basket. Especially Mathis. That dude regularly gets mugged and maybe draws a foul 25% of the time. Geo and RHJ drew contact several times yesterday with no calls.
