It doesn't matter if your
It doesn't matter if your feet are set or not. The rule book uses the term "legal guarding position". If you are sliding your feet and still maintaining legal guarding position between the offensive player and the hoop, and the offensive player decides to go through you, that is a charge every time. That was a correct call 100%.

Before you guys get too bent
Before you guys get too bent out of shape, keep in mind that 1) we're playing on less than 24 hours' rest, which we won't have to do again and 2) we're playing a better opponent than anyone we'll face next weekend.
With our lack of depth, we're not well-constructed for a BTT run. But in the NCAA tournament it'll be much less of an issue.
March 10th, 2012 at 5:43 PM

OSU is playing on less rest
OSU is playing on less rest than us. They seem to be running up and down the court and playing both defense and offense. To our credit, it is much harder to play when your heads are up your asses.

OSU's roster is better-suited
OSU's roster is better-suited to play on a quick turnaround. They have more depth (although Matta doesn't always use it) and interior scoring isn't as affected by tired legs as perimeter shooting is.
