Damn.
Hell of a rally. But a very, very tough loss. Now a full game back of both Purdue and Wisconsin.
It’s actually pretty astonishing that we only lost by 2 after allowing an opposing 29-5 run.
All that said, it would not surprise me to see the final 10 minutes of this game be a turning point for this team. It takes playing very hard, together for an extended period to get back into a game like that against a good team.

That was both the best and worst game I’ve seen in a long long time
Missed free throws, missed layups, and....................B10 officials. The B10 conference sucks.
Trent got tackled on the last drive. Symbolic of the entire game
Fun game if you look at it only from a standpoint of we made a hell of an effort the last 10 minutes.
Absolutely atrocious game if you look at how terribly it was reffed and some of our own deficiencies on the court.

So many small things kept us from winning. Stings so bad. Need a lot of help to win the conference, needless to say.

Who's starting the Go Fund Me to cover whatever Brad is about to say about the refs?
Nice comeback. Too much officiating bias to overcome.

Certainly looked like TF got fouled on that last turnover… hell of a fight nonetheless, wish they’d have had that earlier
Love the fight at the end, refs were awful, but at the end of the day we have to stop allowing these crazy runs or we're not going to accomplish any of our goals this season. It's already likely cost us the conference championship.
Really feel bad for Trent. I'll take the loss as long as we get some luck in the tourney. We are in fact out of the running for the BTT though. Was nice while it lasted. Let's finish up the season with more coaching with Kofi please! NO MORE TAKING IT DOWN LOW!!!
Would have been one of the greatest comeback wins of all time had we pulled that off. But we didn’t. And we no longer control our own destiny to win the Big Ten. But god damnit if those last 5 minutes didn’t light a spark in this team, I don’t know what will. It’s almost March. No more half-!!! efforts. We lost that game in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. Hell of a fight though.
I’m proud of this team win or lose. They didn’t give up. Ohio State deserved to lose that. We’re a better team because of this.
Take the fine, Brad.
It took BU getting ejected to wake us up. But once we woke up that was way more enjoyable (if you ignore the refs because, woof).

weren’t not going to win the B1G now but i could see this game leading to a true late season push
Pretty speechless about the no call on the last drive by Trent.
