Michigan/Indiana: Blocking Foul (Valentine call in 2nd half)

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I agree that OSU-1 was moving toward UM-1 at the moment of contact and pushed UM-1 thereby committing a Common Foul. It is my opinion that the CF by OSU-1 more pushing than blocking because his initial illegal contact was with his right forearm against the UM-1's left arm. Had UM-1's left arm had made contact with OSU-1's torso and that was the only contact between the two players then I would have had a PCF by UM-1.

It was a tough loss to take for this Buckeye fan coming on the heels of Kansas's home loss on Saturday to Oklahoma State.

It was a good game by both teams and UM deserved to win the OT period because they didn't allow OSU to take advantage of its defensive stops on its offensive end of the court.

But UM has got to get rid for those shoes.
