Save me some time here, please

I don't want to have to watch the whole DVR of the game to get a better perspective on this question, so those who were closer to the floor at CHA or who saw it on TV, tell me whether Evan Turner should have been called for riding Cully Payne on an attempt to drive toward the basket somewhere in the last 10 minutes of the game? He rode him for several seconds and the refs let it go. That could have been a huge call if we'd gotten it.
 
There were some bad calls and no-calls both ways. The basket they gave to Fuller on his drive down the lane was a complete joke also. Announcers said they hadn't seen a continuation call like that since 1970's NBA.
 
I thought the first 15 minutes of the game as a whole were called in favor of Iowa with Fuller's continuation being the most flagrant. The entire second half heavily favored OSU. I thought Payne attacked the paint hard and didn't get the call while Turner or Lighty got several cheap fouls called on us at the other end. Plus like the NBA the star players won't get called for travel unless they just stop dribbling all together.
 
To be honest, I believe I counted 4 traveling calls in the second half that could have been called on Iowa which were not so although the game was not great, it did seem that traveling was called consistently inconsistent all night on both sides. Now in terms of using hands/pushing off/illegal screens I would have to give the edge to Ohio St in terms of what they got away with vs the 3 or 4 missed calls that Iowa got away with.

I believe I heard recently (and it was news to me) that the college rules do now include the continuation rule first adopted in the NBA.

Within the context of that rule, I thought it was a good call. But I might be biased.

By the way no one has answered my question yet. In a game full of non-calls, I thought that one might have been the most important (4th foul on ET, he probably has to sit for a while, as Iowa builds a bigger lead).

I think the reason that foul isn't called is that Cully puts his shoulder down (not necessarily into the defense, but he leads with it) and the thought of the referee is that he's initiating the contact. Just a guess though.
 
I'm not sure if referring to the time Cully got tripped and nothing was called. It looked like a foul to me. Not sure who it would have been on. One other situation under basket where Turner could have got 4th called, but Lauderdale got the foul. Both of them fouled though.

Lauderdale got away with a lot of shoving. They did call one when he shoved Brommer or Cougill in the neck.

Refs weren't the greatest, but they missed calls on both ends too. We lost hope of winning the game when we couldn't get the ball in on an imbound play on our hoop. Then turned it over to Turner for a breakaway dunk.

Hope that helps.

I thought he got ridden the whole way to the basket on that one Freddy. I can see if Cully initiated some contact, and you let it go, but this was like from a few steps past the 3 point line, all the way to the basket.

Hard to say if it SHOULD have been called. (I thought so) but no doubt it COULD have been called.
