I cannot believe an OSU fan that has seen how little contact on Sully gets called game in and game out will argue that that was a foul.

buddy, i'm an osu fan who understands what a foul is. irrespective of what happened before, sully's second foul was clear. nobody should call that good defense by sully. it was horrible defense on a guy under his own basket. unless you're dallas, you let johnson get the bucket when he's right there for the put-back. i can see trying to knock the ball from his hands when he's going up, but johnson already had the ball above his head. let the basket happen. the team needs sully the rest of the half. instead, we were without buford and sully for about 5 minutes. that was a pathetic half between the ears for our buckeyes.

The fans were upset that Lighty got away with a travel on the other end. They were crying when Sully played good defense and got a block, so when the guy underneath the basket got the rebound for Purdue, they were going to call it no matter what.

When you hit someone on their shooting elbow while they are shooting, it is a foul, period. Even when it's on the team you cheer for. It was a dumb foul.

Down just four at the half with all those turnovers is actually pretty amazing. Tighten up the ball security and defense and this will go our way barring Purdon't catching fire like Wiscy. Thomas should take a seat for the rest of the day. He has been awful.

Get Thomas off Moore... he's made too many mistakes on defense and Moore is knocking everything down.

Well, Thad made the defensive switch, put Lighty on Moore, Lighty played good defense but Moore still knocked down a tough shot. Not much you can do there.

Down by 4 at half with Buford and Sully on the bench for the last 5 minutes and Buford only playing 3 or so, I'll take it.

well down 4 is not so bad considering how the half played out...anyone know how many minutes were played without buford and sullinger on the court? also the scoring disparity has to be huge

its a must those 2 stay out of foul trouble and can go the whole 2nd half

Buckeye team D really suffers when foul trouble keeps them from playing one of their typical lineups. What also really hurt was being in the bonus for 6 minutes and not being able to post up Sully in there to earn a bunch of FTs. Would have liked to see some effort to post up DeShaun, although his miss rate near the rim has been way too high lately.
