The officiating...

...is just entirely unacceptable. The foul call on withey, and then the travel call against him, are just absurd. It's a difficult game to officiate. I get that. But college officials just call way too may things that simply did not happen.

At least there was less of it. Kansas got called for 15 fouls and that's how many foul shots the Buckeyes got. With us it was 29 and 42. If our game had been officated this way, we'd be playing Kentucky Monday night.

Spot on.

It is freaking absurd.

Agree. There were some questionable calls in this game just as in every other game. But these refs weren't whistle happy and let them play out there. There were quite a few ticky tack plays tonight on which there would've been a whistle last Saturday but the refs let it go.

A common complaint when people harp on officiating is that the refs work too many games. These guys didn't ref any games for at least 6 days, however. So they obviously weren't overworked. Nor did they look noticeably out of shape. So, what would improve the situation?

Especially in the 2nd half.
