#25 Ohio State vs. Rutgers, Dec. 8, 7PM EST, ESPN2

That’s where I fall, too. I can find plenty of bad calls that went against OSU earlier in the game, but the bad one at the end is the only game-changer? There was a sequence in the first half where Key got pulled down from behind in the paint on the offensive end and then at the other end, a Rutgers player threw a shoulder into a defender allowing an easy layup for his teammate. Both no calls. I bet Rutgers fans could find plenty of shitty calls that went against them, too. It’s the nature of officiating these days. It blows across the board.

I’d feel a little bit worse about it if Rutgers wasn’t riding Thornton up the court with no foul call right before the shot.

Dude I'm with you there, I was watching the recorded version knowing we won and still was screaming at the officials on some calls/no calls. There were like 3 foul calls on us where our player called was not remotely close to touching the Rutgers player. But as you said, the crap officiating went both ways and probably evened out at the end of the game. We hit a big shot and earned that win. So I'll acknowledge that apparently a call was missed on the shot, but will not entertain any notion that we didn't win that game.
