They're going to lose by 6 points.

Running the offense through Loving as primary ball handler. Not good.

Tate out of control didn't help either.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Oh come on. Deep 3 for the Gophers. Down 9, 1:45 left.

 

[Hetuck]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Jake]

Like Illinois and Purdue, competed but not good enough to win.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Thompson has had a big game.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Nothing to it, but these refs have sucked.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Aren't ALL late game fouls intentional/flagrant? Never see guys make plays on the ball. This one gets called...because #BigTenRefs

 

[OHSportsFan]

Whatever. You guys let me know when the next game is.

Maybe, I don't know.

 

[Hetuck]

Tate's upper arms are fat.

Exactly. Anyone with a clue knows they're "intentional" fouls yet 98% of them aren't called as such.

There's an easy way to make it all moot - get rid of rules that encourage fouling.

So the Buckeyes had 7 fouls in the first 20 minutes of the game. 2 of them being a foul to give under 20 seconds. Matta's teams have historically been very good at foul rates.

I believe they are now up to 19 fouls in the 2nd half alone. With 2 guys fouled out and 2 more at 4 fouls. This game is what it is, but still I hate this league's refs and their whistle-happy 2nd halves. Way to make those adjustments and get more involved, stripes.

Wouldn't be a sporting event if no one expressed that sentiment.

Gophers 78
Buckeyes 68

Same old song.
