So I re-read the posts in this thread, especially between you and I MIR, and I've come to the conclusion that we were arguing for the sake of arguing. Or basically, you were insinuating that I meant things that I never said. 26-0 is pretty bad, we'll find out how bad tomorrow after I rewatch the second half. All I was saying was that we get called for a lot of fouls because we foul more than most teams do. I think everyone would agree with that. When we play well we also force other teams to foul us (especially on shots) more than they usually do. Actually, when we play really well we make tons of jumpers as well. Well, we hacked and fouled a shitload and didn't make UT foul us. This is the case at least from what I saw in the first half.
preemptive :dnr
19:25 – Angel gets away with a shove off
18:59 – Same possession Jamar gets away with throwning his man to the floor
18:50 – Same possession Wangamane tackles Jamar, no foul ball out of bounds to KSU
18:47 – Same possession Gip throws Chapman to the floor, no foul called. Possession ends in missed 3 from Angel (it was a good look)
18:32 – Kabongo beats Angel, might have been fouled on way to hoop, no call, scores anyway. I think this was just acting by Kabongo. Nice no-call.
18:20 – Gip may have been bumped down low by Champan (replay shows that there was no foul by Chapman, another good no call.
18:18 – Same possession Jamar and Wangamane get called for an LOL double-foul. This occurs while trying to rebound Gips miss. (score 4-0 UT at this point.)
17:53 – Jamar gets away with shove of (he’s been doing this constantly) while getting a pick up top. Jamar goes low to receive the pass on opposite block. Chapman hacks on the shot by Jamar. Foul called Jamar to shoot two.
17:49 – Kabongo charges into Will near midcourt. Charge called, good call, crowd boos.
17:27 – Wangamene loses Gip and gets a pass down low for an easy dunk. He traveled on the dunk attempt but not call. Pretty obvious travel.
17:07 – Holmes gets away with an illegal screen. Kabongo gets freed for a drive to the hoop. Gip makes a pussy reach in foul on the shot. Kabongo makes it for an and one. Foul should have been called on the screen. Gip made matters worse by not playing defense. He barely touched him but made the arm motion going down that is going to get called every time.
16:28 – Kabongo gets by Will and drives to the hoop Gip and someone JO help on the drive down low. Gip makes a clear blocking foul on Kabongo on the shot. Foul called. Shot goes in.
16:18 – Jaylen bond gets called for an off the ball foul battling for position. Jamar is very good at getting guys to foul him in these situations. It wasn’t a blatant foul but easily callable and you can tell the refs have been trying to clean up the game from the tip.
16:10 – Same possession, after a Spardling save JO ends up with the ball near the hoop, bond gets called for a foul on the shot. I believe he made contact with JO’s lower body, or reached hard to tell. Crowd boos (2nd booing btw), replay looks less like a foul than live shot, but still easily callable and refs have been tight all game.
15:56 – I was about to say that Jamar got away with a hack down low, but refs blew a late whistle and called the foul on the floor.
Under 16 TO (15:56) – KSU 9 possible fouls, 4 called. UT 7 possible fouls, 6 called. Refs blew traveling call on Wangamane. Score 11-9 UT.
15:46 or so (clock is malfunctioning on espn3) JO gets away with a trip/ illegal screen. Then Rodney is falls on dude who got tripped. Good no call on the second one.
15:20 – Lewis? gets away with possible reach as Diaz drives with shot clock running out. Diaz makes hoop.
15:01 – Good clean block by Southwell.
14:51 - clean clock by Chapman on Diaz.
14:36 - another clean block by Chapman on diaz.
14:34 - Diaz has position on Holmes for rebound and Holmes shoves him in the back. Foul called.
14:17 - Shane DOBs Chapman. Very nice
13:20 – JO fouls Brown to prevent a layup. Good hard foul by JO.
13:12 – Chapman goes for block on shot by Diaz. Clear foul. Foul called.
13:05 – Irving gets called for a bump near midcourt on Brown. Brown flails to get the whistle. Bad call IMO. Frank sits Tay. ?SMH
11:54 – McClellan flails to get a foul called on McGruder on a lay up attempt. Good no call.
Under 12 TO (11:54) KSU 2 probable fouls IMO 2 called except that Tay got jobbed on his foul and JO got away with one. UT 3 possible fouls, 2 called. Score KSU 16-15
10:32 – KSU dicks around and runs shot clock down to nothing. Angel drives and gets stuffed. Good no cal. UT blocks the follow. Another good no call.
10:07 – Diaz slaps Kabongo in the face as Kabongo drives past for a layup. No call
9:51 – Same Possession, Brown drives and a foul is called on Diaz on the shot. Looked like Diaz had a hand on Brown’s back but from this angle I can’t tell if he really fouled him.
9:51 – On KSU in bound Kabongo grabs Angel. Foul called. Good call. Crowd boos (3 memorable boos so far)
9:40 – Shane fouls McClellan to prevent an alley-oop. Good call. Good foul.
9:32 – Angel gets away with another shove off.
9:10 - Same possession, Angel forced to drive again with shot clock running down. Wangamene draws the charge on Angel. Good call.
8:35 – McClellan gets called for blocking off the ball against Will. Good off the ball whistle.
8:00 – Gipson gets called for a reach. I don’t think he really reached like to steal the ball, but he had his hands in as Wangamene cleared and made sure contact with his harms. Easy Call.
7:37 – Good block by Wangamene on Spradling drive. No call. I watched this three times looking for a foul.
7:34 – Angel called for a foul blocking on a run out lay up by UT. I thought the block was clean. Watched it 3 times. Bad call.
7:00 – Bond gets called for foul on McGruder FT line pull-up J. Ticky tack foul but refs have been calling it tight. Bond should know better.
5:35 – Fran thinks that Diaz gets away with Offensive Interferene on alley opp attempt from McGruder. I don’t know the rule here. But whatevs. IT looked to me like if he would have caught the ball no one would have noticed anyway.
4:47 – Will gets called for blocking on a Julian Lewis drive. Will clearly got him with the body on the shot. Good call.
4:22 – Looked like Wangemene got away with a bit of a reach while trapping Will on the wing. No Call
4:20 – Same possession, Diaz gets away with a foul on rebound attempt.
4:14 – JO shoves Wangamene into the goalpost padding. No call.
3:24 – JO fouls Wangamene on Wangamene putback attempt. Easy call.
1:36 – Jamar pushes McClellan in the back even though another EMAW had position on McClellan for the rebound. Good call. Jamar agrees.
:03 – Good block by KSU as Brown drives into the post.
Stanza – KSU 10 possible fouls, 7 called. One of the called fouls was BS on the Angel block.
UT – 4 possible fouls, 3 called.
First half – KSU 21 possible fouls, 13 called (official stats have KSU at 14 so I must have missed one somewhere. KSU also got jobbed on the travel and IMO the Irving and Angel fouls. UT – 14 possible fouls, 11 called. Fran thinks UT got jobbed on Diaz alley oop, meh.
Obviously the second half is what people are pissed about, but this takes a long time and I’m tired (it’s 1:35 AM). Interesting in this half is that KSU actually got the good lead in the cleanest portion of the game. Not surprisingly it occurred when Rodney and Will were draining threes. Funny how making shots helps the team a lot. I really couldn’t pay attention to offense/ defense execution much as I was basically just scanning the court for what IMO looked like fouls. Gip and Tay were the only ones (I might have forgotten someone) who got called for fouls out on the perimeter for KSU.
Second half will come sometime tomorrow. I may be proven wrong, UT may have gotten away with rape in the 2nd half. We’ll see.
