The Buckeyes are doing themselves no favors with their play. But it’s pretty pathetic that a Buckeye player breathes on a PSU player, and it’s a foul. Penn State has spent the entire game hand checking, reaching, and raking in the paint, and gotten away with it for the most part.

Like I said, don't give me the usual ref whining that goes on here EVERY game - even when the Bucks are winning. It's lame, and not the reason the Bucks are getting smoked in Crappy Valley.

There have been plenty of instances of the refs being shit even when Ohio State wins. Consistency is key. You call hand checks on one end, call it on both. Whether you fail to see it, isn’t my problem. I don’t really give a shit what you choose to think.

And like I said, the Buckeyes played like absolute shit for 20 minutes. The refs compounded that by choosing to call the hand checks on one end, and not the other.

Either way, I’m out.

Yeah, B1G refs gonna B1G ref. It's a story as old as time itself. We're losing this game because we're getting our asses kicked (not the worst thing that can happen to one's ass in slappy valley). We're dead cold from the 3 line and Carr is having his way with us.

No excuse for the players here, but I do think that if they called a few of those reach ins early in the game it would have changed penn state's defense. When they get away with it, they just cranked up the intensity as the half went on. We also got away with quite a few obvious fouls early on, we just didn't capitalize and intensify on it.

It's okay to call out bad calls that impact the game and also realize the Buckeyes played like sh!t that half.

There were some touchy calls on OSU. CJ Jackson got elbowed on a floater late with no call. Just calling that how I see it. But, refs (humans) tend to go with the more aggressive team. Buckeyes look like a deer in headlights. Timid with no energy. PoSU is just running them out of the gym and earning calls.

Not happening tonight for the Bucks.

This game pisses me off on a number of levels:

1.) the amount of flukey shit that benefits PSU
2.) the fact they decide to shoot out of their minds when they play us
3.) the fact that this team came out with no fire against the only team that beat them
4.) this game gives PSU a legit tourney shot
5.) puts OSU Big Ten title hopes in serious jeopardy.
