Arkansas fans are pissed....

[ColoradoDawg]

Blaming that game of the refs.

40 free throws for MSU and only 12 for Arkansas.

First time I can remember feeling like we got a lot of the calls.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

They had that sort of advantages for years with Nolan Richardson whining to the refs all the time.

We have been on that end of the stick when stansburys later teams that mainly shot 3s. It’s an easy target to point too.

 

[Philly Dawg]

As we talked last night, the refs were (1) calling hand checks which is a disadvantage to Arkansas, and (2) Arkansas was shooting a lot of midrange jumpers while MSU was driving to the basket. I thought the game was called consistently for both teams.

 

[AlCoDog]

Tough ****.

 

[coach66]

Anytime we went up for a shot in the paint

They contested it and fouled us hard most every time, they were not going to give up easy baskets and it cost them. They hammered our guys.

You drive the lanes, you get the fouls ....

And that last walk, even the announcers called it while in progress.

 

[civildawg88]

Seemed like they pulled up for a jumper or floater every time they would drive

Because we have a legit rim protector who knows how to defend without fouling. They don't have that.

They are still butt hurt over Reggie Perry. He tweeted something about Hailstate having ice in they veins or something and some idiot said, "That is why you are banned from the state of Arkansas" WTH?? He will be back to the state next season and I hope he goes off for 40.

When you have

1 team that drives to the basket nearly every possession and 1 that takes nothing but jumpers, of course there's going to be a lopsided number between each.

You don't have to be gymdawg to see that.

 

[Bulldogg31]

By the way, the driving to the basket is sort of a new thing over the last few games. I file that under coaching. We were shooting way too many contested 3's instead of trying to drive the lane and get fouled. I was even staring to miss Craig Sword a bit.

Seriously, even though we missed a bunch of threes last night they were at least open shots set up by the offense for the most part. The shooting will come around at some point (I hope).

 

[tired]

It'll come around.

Objectively, 40-12 is a pretty large disparity in FT attempts. We were on the other end of a few of those last year because other teams could get by our guards and attack our weak bigs, while we settled for threes and mid range jump shots a lot- much like what happened last night. We were definitely more aggressive offensively last night, which drew some contact and got our guys to the line.

There’s probably some truth to both sides of the argument, but we get 17ed by the refs on the regular in every sport we play. I’m not about to complain or apologize for getting a little home cooking on the rare occasion that it comes our way.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Bingo! Something we didn't do nearly enough of the last couple years

Yup, if they are looking for someone to apologize for getting some favorable officiating, they are talking to the wrong fan base.

Wah! Wah! Wah!....

What a bunch of crybabies.

Every call on them was absolutely correct but we got hosed on several called on us. How do you like those apples piggies?

Like you said, I've seen us have the exact same disparity of free throws over the last several years not only on the road but even at home and nobody gave a crap. Why should I care if Arkansas is whining now?
