If it is possible to say we both did not deserve to win and that the game was stolen from us by the officiating, that's what I'll say.

As absolutely TERRIBLE as the officiating was the entire game...

...if you take a good look at the gameplan for both teams Thad got outcoached...

Ohio State's one weakness this season has been defending an athletic big guy under the bucket...

Chism "went off"...and Tennessee had nearly 50 points in the paint...

Not only that, but Pearl had his guys overplay Turner the entire game, making it very difficult for him to spread the offense and get open shots...


[censored] poor officiating, but non-the-less Thad's boys had plenty of opportunities, Bruce just had the better gameplan.

Clean block?

LMAO.

These refs should never watch a game again.

You are so biased. Watch it again. He had all ball on that block. ET knew that because he tried to adjust to it, but couldn't.

It's a tough loss and a physical one. We got beat up badly with offensive rebounds and that won it for them. They exposed Ohio State's major weakness inside the paint. Hopefully, ET will want to play one more year to make another run.

The reffing was bad, but they beat us because they completely dominated the boards on both ends. Even if the fouls weren't lame, I don't see us winning those battles. Just didn't have it today. And nobody other than Turner could hit a shot.

Stop blaming the refs.

We we see this for the next few pages...

Sad how we bash other programs for it, but in turn do the same. We are above that folks, just face it that the better team won today.

Sad to see ET go out like this, but with a great season and some awards coming his way, I look foword to seeing Turner in the league next year.

Completely agree. Refs sucked, yeah, sure.

But what some are calling as "over the back" I'm calling effort. Just ugly basketball for the majority of the game, never got in any rhythm.

So pissed right now. I hate the ends of seasons. :(

Chism was a beast.

46 or so points in the paint to, what, 20? That's a beating. After seeing that stat I'm surprised the Bucks had a chance to at least tie it at the end.

That was a pounding by a big, physical team.

The Buckeyes just got beat where it counted...

Wasn't necessarily talking to you, but the handful of people who have been acting like the refs were the only weakness the Buckeyes had tonight.
