ANN ARBOR — There are plenty of takeaways from Tuesday's 61-58 loss to Ohio State, the Wolverines' third straight Big Ten loss at home. The biggest, though, involves the latest most head-scratching call in recent years, capping a night Terry Wymer and his officiating crew might want to forget.

ESPN analyst Jay Bilas was among those who questioned it all night, perplexed at the physicality allowed and many of the calls.

What started as a brickfest, both teams seemingly content to win a game in the 30s or 40s, quickly turned into something resembling a hockey game, complete with hip checks, arm grabs and less "freedom of motion" we've seen in a Big Ten game since Mateen Cleaves was ripping jerseys at Michigan State.

That Wymer and his crew allowed it to play out as it did was bad enough. That they chose to help determine the game by calling a flagrant foul on senior point guard Zavier Simpson in the last minute of such a physical game was ridiculous, and Michigan head coach Juwan Howard wasn't shy about saying it in the postgame.
