That seems to be how the Big is officiated. Just play like you want, hit, grab, push, just dare the refs to call something,.
Then when they do, raise Holy Hell at the officials and let the crowd also intimidate the other team and ref the rest of the night.
I think how they call the game in this league has really hurt our teams in the post season. You try the things that they let the players do during the last what 20 games and then different crew says nope… calls everything and suddenly we (Big 10 teams) can’t change.
