Game 17: Michigan at Ohio State Open Thread

7 total fouls in the first half. I’ll put the over-under at 25 for the second half.

I just don’t get refs. It’s like they all suddenly decided we need to call offensive fouls even if its close or not it. This is why they should be open to criticism after the game. Absolutely ridiculous! But good half for us and a great game!!

Michigan won’t shoot 77% from 3-point range in the second half so the defensive adjustments will be very interesting.

The zone that U-M ran in the first half just didn’t work – gave up open shots and offensive boards. OSU also is having no problem getting Liddell open vs UM 5s.

I didn’t think the reffing was bad until those last two charge calls. Awful. Took five points off the board.

The refs have been trash. These offensive fouls have been so weak

That’s honestly the worst charge I’ve ever seen.

That call on Dickinson was just unimaginably bad

We better be in the refs ear about these weak calls

That’s the bad news. The good news is that I don’t think we’ve fully unlocked our post game yet and that may be coming.

Just have to play through the trash whistle and get the dub despite it.

Not fouling was a huge key for U-M and they only fouled 5 times – and three were on offense (!).

That could swing in the second half obviously, but 3 FTA for OSU in the opening 20 minutes is a win.

If they call that contact in the post, better be both ways the rest of the way.

two critical calls both by DJ, go the way they should have and this would be a bit of a different story at half.

We only have 1 non offensive turnover this half correct? Night and day from how we were before the pause.
