Well, as far as game fixing is concerned or just plain ol "hey can we at least see the replay so that we may judge for ourselves?" goes, it always seems funny how a large part of the time they dont show the replay on those kind of calls. It happens al the time in our games.
The BIG needed Ohio State to win this game for financial/NCAA reasons. Good for Fred to get the technical. Karma took care of their free throws on his T.
b1g is a 4 bid league that will somehow land twice that regardless
Glad to see Fred showing some fire. … finally may be his first T since he started at DONU
Remember when it was a "point of emphasis" to get flopping out of the game?
I was grabbing a steak and a whiskey, and wanted to see a replay. Not surprised anymore when they don’t show replays on BS calls
I've seen a ton of no calls on moving screens lately but this wasn't even in the same area code of a foul. WTF
It had to be a case of wrong number, doesn’t it? I wonder if he meant Griesel?
Yeah. #23 was banging all over the place and didn't get called for shit. I wish we had some bangers, but on the same token teams would be in the double bonus 3 minutes in with the B1G officiating.
That's what was really getting me. I was at the game and wasn't really paying much attention to 23, then I noticed on a couple plays what he was doing and started watching him more. Nearly every play on the offensive end for OSU, he'd setup for a screen and throw an elbow as players would try to run by, I saw him even kicking his leg out a few times. I didn't notice at the game, but watching highlights there was one possession for OSU where Kesei was guarding down in the paint, an obvious size mismatch. At least two and maybe three separate times on that one possession, I watched him go to set a (probably illegal) screen and then he'd run down into the paint to post up Kesei; except his method of "posting up" was basically just to bowl into him at full speed and send him flying a good few feet before he recovers. Of course the refs were completely uninterested.

That has to be it, doesn’t it? If so, it is just another example of B1G refs being totally incompetent. They picked the wrong whitey to pin a foul on to try and save the game for osu
Watching the replay, this seems like it might be the case. Griesel even kind of reacts like he thinks the call is on him. A call on Griesel would at least be slightly more defensible, though considering what 23 was getting away with all night, not much more. Calling the foul on the wrong player is almost worse than just the horrible call to begin with. Probably trying to get all of Nebraska's bigger guys fouled out so 23 could really throw his weight around. Shocked Kojenets managed to play a few minutes without getting a foul.
It looked to me as if the OSU player who was guarding Tominaga slipped as he was trying to follow Tominaga around the screen, and the ref got a brain cramp and just assumed that this was caused by the screen.
