Corey should have had “and one”

Should have called a foul on the layup corey made at last 10 secs when they were down 3 and pulled to 1.

Not sure, did they call even one foul on MSU in OT?
No, and it’s not even the fouls called or not called that bothers me. It’s when the foul is made and when they are missed. The Corey missed calls were too funny. The kid is going to feel like a football player tomorrow morning. MSU got some very cheap calls in OT at the perfect time for them. Frankly, I’m surprised they called the out of bounds call against MSU in regulation
 
Speaking of the foul line, we actually shot 13-15 from the line tonight. We ALMOST did enough to win.

Announcers were loving us the entire game - props to them - but how they defended the refs on that no-call (1 of many...), I couldln't understand.

Listen...the ranked teams, especially at home, are gonna get calls - WE GET THAT - but when our guys are getting hammered in the lane, time-and-time again without calls (especially in OT), but there guys take one step into the lane and the whistle blows, THAT is where I draw the line and Pikes needs to make his feelings know, IMHO, but the right way. He's only a 2nd-year B1G coach, earning his stripes, can't go completely blowing up during or immediately following the game. Sucks.
 
There were a few beautiful drives by Corey when he scored and got hit hard with absolutely no call. The kids played so hard and just missed pulling off a huge win. Hopefully we can play just as hard on Sunday night. The kids deserve some rewards for their effort.
 
The worst part is that some will defend it by saying that the home team gets the calls, which is probably true but we don't get ANY benefit from the refs at the RAC.
 
6-1 fouls in OT Ugh.

Really more like 3-1 before we started intentionally fouling, but yes. IMO the big blown call was when Omoruyi fouled out, I thought he was set and should have gotten the charge. Then we'd have been up 1 with the ball. Instead they hit one of two and then we had the bad turnover. Even then though, they went to the line that possession and Corey tied it on our end. The Langford 3 just under a minute was such a dagger because then we NEEDED points on our trip down the floor. Langford hit the 3 for them, Baker missed it for us. That's your ballgame.
