Maxwell Riley, Ohio’s top offensive lineman in the 2026 recruiting class, commits to Ohio State.
I know it's not an excuse, and I don't tend to complain about officiating because it's usually bad for both sides, but I had to this time.
Ted Valentine may be the worst official the game has ever seen. Constantly calls fouls where there were no fouls. He thinks the entire game is about him- you can even notice it when he's telling a call to the scorers table, he has a little extra oomph to it because it's all about him- and it's unreal. By FAR the absolute worst for the last 15 years that I've dedicatedly watched Big Ten basketball.
I can't be the only one who has noticed this, right?
