Big Ten releases statement admitting Ohio State’s game-winner over Rutgers should not have counted

The Big Ten has officially released a statement on the missed call from officials Larry Scirotto, Kipp Kissinger and Roger Ayers during Ohio State’s game-winner vs. Rutgers on Thursday night.

With five seconds left and a two-point lead, Caleb McConnell missed a free throw but proceeded to force the Buckeyes to the sideline. The ball handler appeared to step out of bounds before making his pass. Even if he did not, it was clear that Tanner Holden was standing out of bounds with both feet before coming back in and hitting the game-winner to sink the Scarlet Knights.
