u wana talk about FT descrepancy!

Gonzaga 32-41
IU 2-6

something had to be wrong here. I have seen many Gonzaga games to know that they get away with alot, but this is just stupid.

Are you suggesting that the referees should perhaps call Morrison for charges when he uses a lead elbow to clear a path to the basket rather than call blocking fouls on the victims of said elbow?

And a 70's B-rate fluffer at that.

As for Gonzaga, I never liked them, because I knew this shit would happen. They are now the Duke of the west coast, and I'm not talking about academic quality. Any contact on any Gonzaga player is now a foul...period. Just like Duke. And any elbow to the head by a Zag player to an opponent is not a foul. Just like Duke. And the coach can yell things at the refs that would get Bobby Knight suspended for a year. Just like Duke. And no one better dive for a ball at the scorers table, because the commentators are creaming themselves under it calling the game. Just like Duke.

As for the Big Ten, well, this happens a lot. If the Big Ten gets Duke refs, they're generally in trouble, because Big Ten refs let a lot more physical play go than most other refs do during the season.

heh, just posted the same thing over on the wake board. Their response after the Illini game was that it was payback for the refs swallowing the whistles against arizona. They really are a bitter bunch.

Maybe one team shot more free throws b/c they were being more aggressive?

The idea that officiating played any role in the UW/Illinois game is laughable.

I havent been throught the last 5 pages, so I started reading about what people were saying, and all I kept reading was how the officiating sucked and this and that, and then the voice of reason came from Tibor.

Who would of thunk it.

Illinois didnt shoot many free throws, b/c they didnt attack the rim, they were settling for the permimeter J and that is Washington's style of play.

Illinois has no one to blame but themselves for their loss.

Some goes for Indiana, b/c I am sure people are complaining about the refs in that game to, but they chucked at least 20 3's in the second half and you just don't get free throw attempts when you are doing that.

FWIW, the 1st round Big 10 teams shot 71 FT's, compared to their opponents shooting 44 FT's.

So far the 2nd round looks like this:

Big 10 FTs: 17
Opponents FTs: 80

Jwinslow posted something a few pages back, it said Illinois had more lay-ups than Washington, so they were attacking the rim just as much if not more...

Alway harpin' on the refs.:biggrin:

First off let me start on the Indiana game and as I said above, they didnt attack the rim at all, they shot 20 3's in the second half and probably 30 for the game, don't know the official stats.

As for Illinois, they committed some stupid fouls out top, and some of their guys werent quick enough to stay with the guys driving to the hole, causing hand check fouls. Washington is a very quick team and that is their style of play. They get to the line, they draw the foul.

I am going to use a NBA example here, but take LBJ and Mike Redd for example, Redd is a jump shooter, who gets his points that way and James takes the ball to the hole and draws the contact. Alot of times it isnt just shooting the ball in close, it is how you use the pump fake and draw the contact of the opposing players.

You are always going to get more calls when you are taking it aggresively to the hole. I know not every call is a foul and not every non call isnt a non foul, but when you are pumpfaking and the D is off its feet and you swat down, 9times outta 10 they are goign to call a foul.

As for all you guys saying Morrison gets a lot of calls, well he didnt really recieve alot tonite, and we he did, I felt they were legit. Killingsworth might be one of the stupidest players in terms of staying out of foul trouble, the one time after the guy clearly had the Defensive rebound, he just tried to go for the steal and committed the foul.

Officiating that I don't like is when it is inconsistent, when they are letting you play physical and then the next second they are not. Kind of like an up and down style of reffing.
