Anyone else worried that we end up with Shows, and Valentine and another blind mouse for refs today? Figure over 40 fouls are def going to get called today.

Only benefit would be if we are actually hitting our free throws. Here lately that has been iffy. Getting tired of the free throw fests. Enjoy minutes of a game going by with back and forth basketball instead of the game being stopped everytime down the court.

For 2 games it has been but overall we are really good at the line. What helps is we have no one like Lee, Dakari ect . Everyone shoots around 70-75% except Bam but Bam is better then his average shows. Monk is money at the line along with Mulder.

A tightly called game may actually benefit us today against the SC defensive pressure. Not that I want to see a free throw fest.

It won't be called tight. That would eliminate sc chances of keeping it close.

People will be bitching about no fouls.

No it won't. SC's weakness is there is no way they score more than 60 against our defense unless they do it at the foul line. A ton of fouls called SC might end up scoring 90. That will be a problem for us if the game is reduced to both teams trading free throws. Also the constant fouls disrupts our ability to run away from teams and keeps the game close enough for them to win. That's what happened the past 3 games. UK was really 20+ points better but couldn't blow the game open because of the constant disruption.

You are effing crazy. SC won't score 90 on UK unless they get to play 3 halves.

Valentine is not anti UK.

He is pro Ted. Whatever it takes to be in limelight. Horrible ref.

Destroy me but Greene has not been bad lately. Shows is better than he was.

When I saw Valentine was doing the Louisville game today I jumped with joy. No way he can make it to our game in time!

And he has consistently blown his whistle, and run 3 to 5 steps toward the scorer, then demonstrably making the call, waving his arms, and stomping his foot, as he does.

There were 42 fouls called, the majority of which were against SC. We scored 21of our 85 points on the free throw line. The tightly called game benefited us yesterday way more than SC because we are deeper and our guards were free to slash thru their defense for easy shots and kick outs. The numerous fouls called neutered SC's pressure D.
