When you have no post play and very little dribble drive action, you aren't going to shoot many free throws.

Exactly

Amen. It's not the refs. It's our style of play. Q is our only player that will drive to the hoop and go straight up to the rim. Our bigs are baby bottom soft and hate contact. We shoot 20+ threes per game. None of that is conducive to shooting lots of free throws

Don't have the horses to play that game. Herard could develop into a space eater. Who knows about Ado. He's like the backup QB right now - everyone thinks he's the solution because nobody has seen him play. Its not in Holman's DNA to mix it up inside.

It probably keeps Howland up at night hoping Feazell and Brooks can bring that element next year.

Yeah, when every single game has an eye-popping foul disparity it gets harder to complain about the refs. We have to learn to defend without fouling.

The refs are still awful, but we have not made any adjustments to the refereeing all year to cut down on our fouling. Some of the fouls we get called for are bogus, but we still foul way too much.

This x100. I hate how anything & everything is called a foul in college these days... but I don't think the refs have been screwing us. They're just doing their job.

There's always going to be a few bad calls... but we make a lot of terrible fouls. Grabbing guys for no reason, pushing from behind on rebounds when we have no chance at getting it, weak fouls like Tyson Carter last night on a breakaway layup (if you're going to foul in that situation, at least make sure he doesn't hit the shot). I'd say 1/3 of our fouls are completely worthless. That's why teams are in the bonus with 12-14 minutes left in the half against us.

Spot on comments. The color man from the South Carolina game remarked how handsy we were in practice. I wish Howland would bring in officials to referee practices. We have some guys that don't know what a foul is.
