Oklahoma @ Oklahoma State Game

[GoodwillRef]

Did anyone see #44 of OSU slap the Oklahoma player #23 upside the head after a made basket...this was after he shoved a different Oklahoma player with two hands in the back about five feet under the basket. The officials called a Class A technical foul, would anyone here thought about throwing the OSU player? I don't think they went to the monitor to see if it was a punch or not.

I am not sure I would have tossed the player. I did see the play you are talking about.

I would though, would have liked to be in the locker room for the post game conversation with the crew.

I didn't see the play you mention. Was there a call?

What I did see (sorry to hijack) was an Oklahoma player wearing a long-sleeved undershirt with a Nike swish on the bicep. How was this allowed?

I saw most of that game, including the play from the OP. It was physical all night -- hell, they had 3 or 4 T's in the first 3 minutes! I thought the officials got it right. They got another OSU player for a dead-ball contact T on OK's big man late in the game. Another good call, and a good job keeping that game under control.

I think one for the OSU player got away with a kick to the ribs of a Oklahoma player that was on the ground that lead to the Oklahoma player getting whacked.

Not only that but Travis Ford sits the kid down for the rest of the game. Then, he puts him back in with less than a minute to go during two FTs. #44 Kirkland throws a football block on #23 Griffin before the throw-in evens ends. Curtis Shaw called an intentional foul.

It was ridiculous.

We can only hope that the Big 12 takes a look a the game tape and suspends OSU #44.
