It's tough to win ballgames when the opponent attempts 18 more foul shots than you do. Careless fouling was one of my areas of concern for this team. Now in this game, they were getting called for fouls but most of them were just trying to play defense fouls. We need some better discipline & coaching for these guys to play defense well without putting the opponent on the foul line so often. We just seemed kind of helter skelter out there today.

The disparity was ONLY 18 because the refs bridged the gap a bit at the end. Usually the team that is winning gets more free throws towards the end of the game, but in this case Ohio State got more at the end. The free throw disparity for 90% of the game was well over 20.

I'm hoping this was just a bad night on the road with refs blatantly homering us to make the margin of victory worse. There were fouls that A&M should have had to buy our guys dinner for before committing them.

But I'm not going to blame officiating for a loss that lopsided, just saying it made it worse. We got beat by what appears to be a very good A&M team on the road. We need to stop with the stupid fouls and get better inside the 3 point line, because if you go cold on the 3 pointers and have no alternative, obviously that will not work against better teams in games like this.

I think we just had a really bad night and A&M was playing lights out. We'll be alright.
