Yeah.  There was another one in the first have where Smith established position and took a charge but they called foul on Smith.  After a while they stopped showing replays so I had to rewind to make sure I wasn't being a homer.  Easily 10 point advantage for Buckeyes due to officiating.  Amazing we won considering that and how the Buckeyes were shooting.  It's always a treat when Dickinson starts taking over down the stretch.

That’s probably my favorite aspect of this win in terms of what this win may mean for the tourney. Chances are the team will go cold at some stretches during any deep March Madness run. Great showing and experience for the team to work through it and come out on top. Close second is collecting some experience in a game that was tight from the tip off until the end. It really had the feel of a massive Final Four clash.

They also realized the 3's weren't falling and made terrific adjustments.

Didn't just dump it into Dickenson - instead they attacked the lane and made smart, timely passes. That was a beautiful display of basketball.

After the furious pace of the first half, I thought the long layoff might have taken our legs away. Instead, OSU looked like the tired team. Our bench guys gave tremendous effort and energy.

Down the stretch, they played near-perfect offense, protected the ball, and made their damn free throws - Brooks is money in the clutch. Closers!

Tremendous team win - such a joy to watch. And we beat Ohio in C-bus!!!

Go Blue!

Total fouls and FTs are bad metrics when one team is fouling like mad to extend the game.

To me it seemed like almost all of the 50/50 calls went OSU's way. I thought Franz's flop against Liddell was maybe the only exception. Overall I'd give the refs a C-. 

On a neutral court I'd say Michigan would be about -5.
