MBB: Duke @ Ohio State (Tue 11/30, 9:30 pm, ESPN) Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

Serious home cooking from these so-called referees. Thankfully the ball don’t lie.

[ChrisP]

We are just taking terrible shots! Baker & Banchero back to back. Come on, guys!!!

5 of 22 under 20% shooting unbelievably bad

Hard to hold onto a lead if the ball never goes through the basket.

[ChrisP]

Maybe we're letting the atrocious officiating affect our play? Need to hold onto this lead until we can get Williams back.

[heyman25]

They are so out of sync. Glad our defense is holding up, because this team can not put the ball in the basket.

But our defense remains solid—perimeter touch fouls notwithstanding.

[Music man55]

We need to be able to shoot the basketball! Rough offense!

[BlueandWhite]

Yes, shot selection is generally poor, and good shots aren’t falling. Also a bit of a discrepancy in total team fouls…

[AZLA]

Foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul

[Son of Mojo]

I cannot believe this....how is benedict and wretch justifying the calls since I have it muted?

[rsvman]

Wow.

[SouthernDukie]

But the ball continues to tell the truth at the line.

[downeastdad]

BS calls starting to affect the game now.

[SouthernDukie]

So the Buckeyes can be as physical as they want, but if Duke matches that physicality they get called for a foul immediately.

[mph]

But the ball continues to tell the truth at the line.

Which is great until we run out of players.

[downeastdad]

Exactly!!

[SavDukeGrad]

So the Buckeyes can be as physical as they want, but if Duke matches that physicality they get called for a foul immediately.

My thoughts exactly.

[ChrisP]

Williams got smacked in the face, goes sprawling across the lane...crickets from the refs 🙄

[BlueandWhite]

Just keep pounding the ball inside.
