Caught the end of the UW/PSU game. Think it was the last shot PSU made, a Pickett up and under scoop shot as the clock expired. The replay clearly showed Wahl gave Pickett a little hip check on the shot. Nothing egregious, but it was definitely a foul.
I know BIG refs miss fouls all the time, but it got me thinking, year in year out Wisconsin is so good and those little hip checks/bumps that rarely get called, while also initiating contact on offense, I just feel like that’s something they have to practice, right? And if so, I don’t know what to call it. It’s not dirty, but it doesn’t sit right with me. Am I crazy or does it seem like they play that way every year?
