Should've been Michigan's ball down 2. Instead it's OSU's ball up 7. Great job refs. Two straight terrible calls.
Why Ed Hightower is respected as a good ref is a beyond me.
And Nantz please stop. Sullinger fouls just as much as he gets fouled. Relax. You'll run out of air going down on him.

But god I hate Big Ten reffing. I watch a lot of college basketball, especially in the past few weeks and no conference has worse officiating game in, game out then we do. Completely kills the game.
And no, I'm not trying to whine, we have fouled Sullinger a fair bit and got some calls our way in the 1st half. But a good official is like a good offensive lineman. If you never have to talk about them, they did their job. And almost every Big Ten game, the officiating is a discussion topic. Shame really, since the game is played by the players, not the refs.

Ref bitching
Give it a rest, there were a few bad calls in a row. It's going to happen in every game. The refs didn't make us stop playing defense on every possession since then. There's a reason OSU is easily the best team in the nation. Don't be whiny bitches.

#362
Yeah
But it just so happens that these "few bad calls" only happen when Sullinger is involved and they happen in every game that OSU plays in.
I just don't understand how neither the Big 10 or the announcers notice this and everyone lets it happen and praises the shit out of Sullinger.

We were all over Sullinger in
We were all over Sullinger in the first half, the commentators did point out that they were letting a lot go. The reffing absolutely wasn't perfect, but there's been far worse. If anyone truly thinks the refs are why we lost they need to take off the maize shades.
March 12th, 2011 at 4:30 PM
#364
Except for the fact that
the bullshit officiating favoring Sullinger has been occuring all game. And let's not forgot the ridiculous free throw disparity in the first two meetings. Michigan hasn't played that great , but you would have to be blind to not see how that stretch changed the momentum of the game, as well as the preferential treatment for Sullinger has been getting all game.
March 12th, 2011 at 4:32 PM
#365
We're a predominantly 3 point
We're a predominantly 3 point shooting team. They're a team that averages the most free throws in the conference because they play inside then kick out. The style of play is going to affect the amount of free throws taken, and they're always going to shoot more free throws than a team like ours.
March 12th, 2011 at 4:32 PM
#366
2 point game. Should be our
2 point game. Should be our ball, but osu gets ball when Sullinger clearly hit it out of bounds. Now it's a 5 point game. Morris gets raped on offense, turns it over. Sullinger bulldozes into THjr, blocking foul w/2 free throws. Now it's a 7 point game.
So instead of having the ball down 2 with a chance to tie or take the lead, we have the ball down 7. Refs fucking blow
March 12th, 2011 at 4:42 PM
#367
The out of bounds play was a
The out of bounds play was a close call, and could have gone either way. On the Morris TO, he dribbled into the lane, and into a double team, and whether a foul takes place or not that's usually not called. The blocking foul on THjr was bullshit. So I count 2 points. Ultimately, if the refs happen to change the momentum of a game, a team has to change it back with their play. M proceeded to miss their next 9 shots. Ballgame. Frankly, this board is the equivalent of the dude at the Y that calls foul any time he gets contact, instead of the dude who shakes it off and comes back harder next time.

Michigan cut the lead to 2 points...
Then the out of bounds call off OSU that went against us and then Sullinger's charge...er I mean Hardaway's blocking foul completly changed the game...I am not saying michigan was going to win, but the game would have been much closer and down to the wire since Michigan would have had the momentum.
I hate when referees change the damn game. Then again, these are referees from the Big Ten...so its not like it is surprising

The Charge call
er, lack thereof was gynormous; it ended up being a 3 pt. play and made a two point game back to five. Like you said, perhaps in the end OSU pulls it out, but then again the way this team fights, maybe we pull it out.

i just texted my buddy nearly the exact same thing. the two worst calls of the game came right in the midst of osu's big run. that no-call on the charge was plain awful.

Sadly
Did you see the Northwestern OT. NW didn't even come close to fouling Sullinger in OT, yet Sullinger walked to FT the 3 times in OT.
I thought Kellogg was relatively ubiased, and Nantz is Nantz. At least Packer is gone. I mean we would all prefer Gus Johnson, but Nantz is servicable.

There was no look about it
that was respectable. I know we got Craft's attention at the free throw line, he missed that first one BAAAAD, and then followed it up with another clunker. We get some calls at the other end and we might have the biggest surprise upset like in forever coming from that far back in like 40 seconds!

I was merely looking at it by the score. For someone who didn't watch the game the score as it ended looks a lot better than when we were down 15+.

This team has got Moxie!
I don't think we've seen this kind of moxie since the Fab Five years. Gumption! Can you say 'Sweet Sixteen'? It's easy to be all sorts of positive in the days following tipoff of the FFT, but these guys truly have what it takes to win games: Moxie, good under pressure, resilient when behind, a flair for the dramatic, and players that can get it done in crunch time.
Go Blue!

Reminds me of Blake Griffin
This game reminded me of our loss to Oklahoma a few years ago in the 2nd round. It's as if the refs think Sullinger is Michael Jordan or something. The announcers and refs were catering to him. Really pisses me off too when they talk about what a "stand-up yound man" he is. Watch his dimeanor on the court. He's a dog.
There's no excuse for us having a meltdown in the middle of the 2nd half like that, but it's ironic that 2 blown calls by the refs were the catalyst. The touch out of bounds off Sullinger's fingers that was given back to OSU and the supposed blocking foul on Hardaway against guess who, Sullinger. Why didn't that "stand-up young man" make it right by telling the refs it went off his fingers? What a loser.

Dude, you NEVER tell the ref
Dude, you NEVER tell the ref that he made the wrong call when it's in your benefit. The officiating was horrible today - as it always is with Hightower - but calling into question a kid's character for not arguing on behalf of his opponent is absurd.
March 12th, 2011 at 7:18 PM
#484
Happens all the time...
in soccer. I do it a lot.
I'm not saying that in general you should always correct the refs, but it's ironic that Sullinger is touted as being such a good kid.
I wish the NCAA would quarantine the refs like they do with jurors. It's obvious the refs know who the allstars are and give them preferential treatment. It's not just OSU.

Good thing
UM was already considered in before this game. If this was a must win, I would be a little more upset.
Then again, I won't completely relax until I see UM's name in the bracket. I don't trust the Selection Committe at all.

Perspective.
If anyone would have told me we'd be 20-12 facing OSU in the semifinals of the B1G tournament as the No. 4 seed with an NCAA berth secured before the beginning of the year, I would've called you crazy as hell.
Angry? A bit, but we're moving the right way.

Senior Leadership
What gets you through bad calls is senior leadership. If you keep scoring, the bad calls don't seem to continue to kill you. When we couldn't score the bad calls magnified the problem. Anything this team does from this game forward is gravy. All they needed to do was make the tourney so the freshman could exprerience what it is all about.
With that being said, I think they are playing so well that we'll steal at least a game in the tourney, if not make it to the following weekend.
