re: SEC basketball foul differential

What I gather from this is that Florida, Georgia, and Ole Miss clearly have the refs on the payroll

Cheaters never win in the end

However it’s more about how we aren’t receiving calls.

you guys turn the ball over before getting a chance to get a foul call. You’ve got to be near the bottom of the league in turnovers

They turn it over on 20.4% of their possessions. 272nd best in the Country and 4th worst in the SEC. The 3 SEC teams worse than them are 8th, 13th, and 14th in the conference in terms of drawing fouls

Fouls that aren't called often result in turnovers, it adds up.

Where does LSU rank in 3 point attempts in the league?

I ask this b/c every once in a while our WBB coach will decide that the best philosophy is to attempt the most 3points attempted in a game and wouldn't you know we don't get to the line that often during those games.

If your team is tossing up 3 pointers at a record pace you are gonna shoot less free throws then the opponent.

Good to see someone on here who understands basketball. One of the telling things about the ridiculous foul differential is that LSU's opponents are not getting fouls called on them, despite the fact that LSU is driving to the goal much more often than its opponents. Last night, for example, Alabama attempted 43 three-pointers and drew 25 fouls. LSU had 26 three-point attempts and drew 10 fouls. It doesn't add up.

EDITED TO ADD: The Florida game, which LSU somehow won, was even more egregious. Florida had 31 three-point attempts to LSU"s 9. Yet LSU was called for 21 fouls to Florida's 10.

Quit fricking fouling then.

I don't know man. You saw that Florida game at Auburn. Watch another Florida game. It's every game.
