Should we hope for a lot of fouls being called this year ? As deep as we are would a game of attrition not work in our favor ?

Why not, it works for Auburn and Alabama. The refs seem to swallow their whistles when thise two teams take the court.

Something to be said for playing aggressively and forcing the ref to call them, especially when your bench is this deep.

The rogue refs are now targeting the one or two players we could least afford to lose early in games. Last season it was Oweh quite a bit. The way they overcome the overall quality depth we have on a lot of teams.

That'd be like having a Ferrari in a race with a Honda Civic, and agreeing that you could only push the cars, not use the engines.
Complete side note: It's interesting that the Honda Civic is one of the most popular cars to transform into a street racer. Not sure why. There's a ton of them in those Fast and Furious movies.

We have some players who historically have been below average free throw shooters. that part of the game may cause a great deal of angst among our fan base.

If we're just hoping, I'm hoping for UK to blow out every opponent so I can go to bed early.

Agreed, refs should have to answer questions after games just like the coaches do.
MLB umpires get evaluated on how accurate they are with calling balls and strikes, not publically, but at least they are being evaluated.
Maybe college officials are being evaluated, don't know, it certainly doesn't seem like it.
