No, we didn't win.

Can you not read the score in the title?

That is no doubt, the fact that your team did not adapt to the way the game was being called is on your coach though.

Aside from letting MSU just drive in for layups every trip down the court I’m not sure what could have been done to adapt to that many fouls being called.

Congrats on the win, I hope we shake it off because we can be much better than that.

Drive to the basket yourself and get some of the ticky tack nonsense called on your opponent would be the best way.

Yall will be fine, for better or worsem, not many teams will play the same type of game MSU does. Likely just a matchup thing with our guards.

I hope so because y’all made us be clunky, sad because we can be so fluid and smooth.

That’s a good sign for y’all tho.

If you had shot 40 FT, you probably would have only made 12. At one point, you were shooting about 80% in the 2nd half from the field and 30% from the line.

It is what it is. We did foul a lot but the game was definitely not called evenly. MSU was allowed to use their bodies much more when our guards drove the lane. Regardless, we had opportunities to win and couldn't make the shot that counted. Hope we can rebound against Auburn.

Yes, but in a good way. The league has been bad for too long.

Come on man, some games are just called tighter than others, just like strike zones in baseball, it is up to you to adapt.

The refs were not out to get ya and in the bag for big bad MSU.

1) We don't foul much.
2) We attacked the rim and abused the press often. Almost all of our points were from our ball handlers driving against aggressive defenders.
3) We crashed the offensive boards.
4) Our PG protected the basketball, squared his shoulders and didn't let defenders get their foot forward.

All of these things contribute to the difference in fouls. Howland is a good coach and we were prepared, despite not having a good game shooting the ball. On top of that we are a transition offense, bad matchup for you guys.

Switch to Zone and Anderson did that late in the 2nd half with a 5 point lead. State then hit a couple threes to tie it up.

Yeah, no. 40-12 is the refs having a direct 28 point impact on the game. That should absolutely never happen.

Not even remotely close to what I said. Nice strawman.

That is a pretty significant disparity and it is understandable that Arky fans don't like it. But, this

assumes the refs should even out the fouls.

If Arky fouled more, MSU should get more free throws.
