Great day to be a Buckeye
Story of the day right there...Purdue just rebounded their own missed free throw while we stood around...
Lot's of emotional healing needs to be done really quick! Have to win the next two.

Go Bucks
Bucks just look tired down the stretch. The lack of depth is evident and the only solution is for other guys to step up. I think that Madson has done a good job of stepping up but we need some other scorers to be more consistent to take some of the burden off of Turner.
PJ Hill looks like the only guy out there with some intensity. I normally hate stuff like this but I was actually glad to see Mullens stare down Hummel just to know our guys have some emotion out there.
To me, the Bucks have shown they aren't deep enough to compete on a consistent basis and the lack of hustling and rebounding is just gross.
On a positive note, I did hear the paint crew start the "Mark the Shark" cheer which was nice.

Officiating was laughable, I had to turn it off after the 54th time the ball went off a Purdue players face and called their ball.

Could the officiating have been any more annoying?
Its laughable how at the beginning of the game the commentators are talking about how "They brought up the best refs for this one! Its gonna be a physical, hard fought game." Then halfway through Bardo makes a comment about some "questionable" calls. Then at the end of the game they say its been a "rough" game for the refs.
How much of this is a result of Douchetower reffing the Butler game PRIOR to this one? I mean, there's no way he was at 100%, and he clearly made some AWFUL calls.

I've never seen the "5 second call" ever called at any level of organized basketball. Ever. Until this game tonight.
Refs must have decided that they wanted to be the stars of the game tonight. They dictated the pace of the game and didn't let anyone play. I don't think I've seen that many botched calls in a game as to who the ball last touched before going out of bounds. On that one under the basket, not only was Kramer the last one to touch it, he was the last TWO people to touch it... and Hightower still gave them the basketball out of bounds. Rediculous.
At least the announcers were good tonight.

That Hightower thread just made my day much better. If you are still mad about the game, just go through that thread.

Purdue is a very good team, and we would have had to play a near flawless game to beat them on their court, but the two teams simply weren't playing by the same set of rules today. How is a team supposed to compete when they don't know what constitutes a foul? The whistle fest early in the 1st half sent a clear message to our guys that they had to second guess every move they made, lest incidental, or Purdue initiated contact (or no contact) would result in a foul. Forget about setting screens or picks, they're illegal for OSU, while PU can throw a shoulder into the ball carrier at will. PU was in the bonus shortly after the halfway point of the 1st. With all the extra possessions and free throw opportunities, it's a wonder they didn't win by 30-40. I'm not trying to excuse the Bucks poor play, but it would have taken an effort of mythical proportions to pull out a win today.
You gotta give credit to Ed Hightower, he gave maximum effort for all 40 minutes. Even with his team up by 20+ in the final minutes, he never let up on finding ways to screw us, saving some of his most creative calls for crunch time. He deserves the game ball, which I'm sure he had no problem taking for himself.
