I only think Oden traveled once, and the other two were "assisted". I mean Ohio State won in a fantastic game. And Wisconsin is a hell of a team. But I can't help but think that Ohio State would have won that game by 5-10 points if the refs would have called some fouls underneath. Just me maybe.

Punched and slapped? That is a bit overly dramatic don't you think? I saw a lot of physical play on the part of both Oden and the person guarding him. And I disagree with you on the Oden travels. Basketball is a contact sport BTW. If Oden wants to spin off the body of his opponent, then do it without moving your pivot foot. And the officials were very consistent in calling it. And getting your shot blocked, contact is not only possible but often necessary. You probably did not see the replays, I did. The blocks were very clean.

I know it is all the official's fault.
