If the fouls called were due to the new rules then they definitely forgot the rules when tOSU was on defense. Actually a lot of fouls on OHIO were inside and not called on hand checks. The announcers kept talking about total fouls late in the game and intimating that it had to do with getting used to new rules. They failed to mention the discrepancy in fouls.
Their bigs played more sure of themselves early on and some of our early fouls were due to that, in my opinion. Later on, however, when the game remained close tOSU got a lot of breaks at both ends of the floor. Aaron Craft is really good and I would like him a lot more if he were on my team but he also gets a lot of leeway when going for steals.
All in all, this is what I expected to happen tonight. That having been said my cats will probably not come out from under the bed all night after my many outburst of a certain and loud expletives.
tOSU made 36 free throws. Ohio loses by 10. That's life on the road.
This team impressed me tonight but I am going to ask my doctor to up my beta blocker prescription so I don't get to excited to early
