This is hilarious. Iowa posted a collection of photos from today's game on the web. I count seven fouls by Aaron Craft among the photos. Either the Hawk photographer is trolling us by posting these or Craft fouls at such a high rate that this is simply a representative sample. A great collection of photos at any rate. Check it out for yourself.

Not sure I agree on this one. Not saying he doesn't get away with some fouls, but this is the Big Ten. I'm not a fan of the endless parade to the free throw line. As long as they call it both ways, which I think they did for the most part, particularly in the second half.

Easy to look back and say the calls were balanced after a win. But had they lost the game I would have been a upset about the amount of walks Ohio State got away with, although they did call a couple in the 2nd half. But to your point there were a couple of calls Iowa got in the 2nd half that I felt we got lucky on.

But Craft gets a way with a lot of hacking and slapping, we are not the only fans that gripe about him. Outside of Columbus he is probably one of the most disliked players in the Big Ten.
 
The problem with the "This is the Big Ten" train of thought, is that when the Big Ten gets into the tournament, the officials are not Big Ten officials, and it's not a Big Ten game, so it's going to be called differently.
 
If you're going to call a "this is the big 10" game, at least call a foul when he mugs you and forces a turn over. I'm not a big fan of the fouls called that don't impact the players motion though.
