Rick Barnes called out the refs, I can’t really blame him at this point (Texas committed 25 fouls, OSU 16): It was a physical game, though. That’s why it’s hard for me to understand the discrepancy with the fouls. I thought both teams were playing hard and physical. (O’Colly)

A super in-depth look at OSU’s draft prospects. (SB Nation)

Ford on Forte’s cold streak: I hadn’t put much thought to it. I always think the next one is going in with him anyway. (O’Colly)

It wasn’t No. 1. (NewsOK)

Brian Williams: There’s a good buzz and a good vibe going around the team right now. (Scout)
