People need to stop using foul differential as some indicator of poor officiating.
ISU is absolutely that Frank Martin KSU or peak Huggins WVU teams we used to cry about in the Hoiberg days. Our guys are THE most physical, handsy, cylinder-violating team in the league.
And it’s ******* glorious and I love it.
Tough loss. Should’ve won but it’s a road game in the best league in the country, and probably the best per metrics of any conference in at least a decade.
I agree that differential alone isnt an indicator.
But the idea that OSU only committed 3 fouls in the first half with the way both teams were playing is nonsense.
Plenty of other reasons to say those refs were garbage too. Multiple blown block\charge calls, the goaltend, etc.
