Testing the theory

Tonight was the perfect chance to evaluate everyone's opinion (I subscribe fully) that B1G officials favor the home teams so severely that a visiting opponent needs to be 10+ points better to come out a winner. I watched the MSU OSU tilt very closely. The officials let 'em play- 8 fouls total in the first half of a physical contest. I don't like that but it was pretty fairly called. And in the second half MSU stalled out and OSU hit shots and easy buckets and there really weren't a bunch of calls that affected game flow. Payne shoulda been whistled for the forearm to Craft and there were a bazillion interior deflections and ? was that a reach or a clean swipe calls but it seemed go both ways.

Anyone else see it differently?

Does OSU have enough gravitas to go to Breslin and get a relatively fair shake?

The Hawks are on a lower tier in this regard, right?

Dunno, you gotta earn your stripes and the Hawks not winning big games earns them nothing.

We need to get over this little brother syndrome we have towards the big boys of bball in this conference. It's getting awfully whiny around here. Just win.
