Drawing fouls on offense is a skill.
Not fouling on defense is also a skill.

The discrepancy isn't based on Ref bias. It's based on how well both teams are in that area.

Houston is the 2nd best defensive team in the country. They are also 323rd in Free Throw Rate. On offense, they are 241st in drawing free throws.

If you are going to beat that team, that's exactly how you must do it.

Four losses in the regular season
Iowa St +10 on free throws (lost by 4)
TCU +16 (lost by 1)
Kansas +5
Iowa St +9

I’ve never understood this rebuttal. Just because they don’t take more fts doesn’t mean they don’t get benefits of no calls or timely calls.
Agree 100%, But, that’s always the mantra on this board…..how many free throws each team shot. Look through threads and tell me I’m wrong

It's a shame that Tennessee and Purdue have to play while our bracket has two meddling teams.

Be hilarious if Bama and UT play in the title game. Two teams that could win one damn game in their conference tourney playing for it all. Nothing makes sense in CBB anymore.

Come back Sunday for my Duke can't lose thread. There is no way Duke loses to NC State. It is impossible.

This tournament is the stuff of nightmares. Like, I have zero rooting interest for anyone left.
