Was it a charge or a block? We asked you on Twitter, and you definitely had opinions on the play:
@yahoosports Wrong. By rule, once off. player goes into air, defender can't set-up where off. player will land. #MarchMadness, #ISU #OSU

@yahoosports absolutely wrong. Secondary defender shouldn't be able to slide under a player already airborne. — kevin embry (@kevinembry83) March 24, 2013

@yahoosports How can people expect refs to make right call in real time like that? — David Thomas (@dthomas2003) March 24, 2013

@yahoosports Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. — Kyle G. Adema (@KyleGAdema) March 24, 2013
@yahoosports WRONG, but is anyone suprised? The officials are overmatched, overworked, and too many think they are the star of the game.

@yahoosports bad call ref even said it was probably wrong... Foul should have been on Thomas for a bump before craft ever got there! — Denton Senft (@DentonStorm) March 24, 2013
@yahoosports it was right ! You can't dwell on that

@yahoosports I think people are really underestimating how difficult it is to make a correct call in real time — Parsons (@Tony_Parsons7) March 24, 2013
