Nope. A&M was clearly trying to be as aggressive as UH. That was part of their gameplan. Ref gifted them so many phantom calls it was rediculous. You can try to justify it All you want. Reality doesn’t lie. The discrepancy in saying a&m deserved 45 free throws is nonsense. There’s a reason why it’s never happened before
Agree to disagree. Great win either way, but it's going to catch up to them if that's the way the NCAA wants the games to be called.
You can disagree. Your logic makes no sense trying to look at the box score and trying to justify oh the foul calls were pretty even. You don’t know what you are watching then
I think there were some phantom misses and ball misses, but there were many non-verticality calls (just because you end up vertical, doesn't mean you didn't run then jump forward with your hands up), and many misses. But yes, A&M was fouling and grabbing off-ball the last 5 minutes of regulation with no whistle. I don't think the misses were overly one-sided. They just called it tight and missed a bunch at different times.
I know jwann got fouled on his shots he put up on more than one occasion and he went to the line once
Your certainty crosses towards arrogance, and that's unnecessary. Take a deep breath and realize people will always disagree with you and that a foul/non-foul isn't some certain math that's always the same. It's okay. Celebrate. Recover. Get ready for the freakin floor slapping Dukies who think they own the "play hard" mantra.
And. I know what i see and clearly keep up with them every single day. And will never be afraid to tell it like it is In a game like this where folks are trying to downplay the ridiculousness that happened. Yeah not happening
I agree with this. He deserved more trips and was grabbed on rebounds that could have secured the game. UH guards grabbed the F off-ball too. It was a grab fest out there.
No one thinks you're not telling it like is from your clear point of view. Everyone else is telling like it is too. It's fine. Savor the win and be happy that the devil (Easterby) is not advancing. Or not. Go Coogs.
I’m clearly telling it like it is and explained it how total Foul count in no way tells what exactly happened. so no everyone isn’t. If you didn’t actually watch the game and looked at the box score that’s what someone would think. Oh foul calls were Close. Nope
You should apply for TNT's March Madness halftime crew. You and Jay Wright see eye to eye on a lot of things. It's water under the bridge now but so many terrible call. Like the phantom tie up that would have kept the game from going into overtime. And the phantom stepping out bounds on Cryer in the last minute. I could go on and on. I totally disagree with almost all of your take on the officiating in the game.
I watched every second of the game from an unbiased perspective because these are my two favorite teams. Houston fouled way more early. The refs called it too close, but the vast majority were fouls. There were WAY too many fouls called. It was ridiculous. Having said that, there was no conspiracy against the Cougars. They were aggressive and got penalized for it early, then the officials just lost their collective ****ing minds and started calling everything. The fouls were not even. Houston committed more of them. They just did! And then it snowballed from there.
