Norris, Taylor, & Hale have 3 fouls each.

Barn 52 Tide 49 but Tide still in good shape. Tide 16/35 46% shooting, 8/21 3 pointers, 38%.

Our big guys are standing under the basket with their thumb up their a** watching Barn guys rebounding & scoring.

Finally, Taylor getting active under the basket, rebounding & scoring.

With 2 or 3 fouls called every possession this game is likely to come down to hitting free throws and playing well off the bench when the starters foul out.

Barn 67-62. Tide will make one good play, then do a bad play. We can still win this one., but we have to be consistent.

Frustrating to see so many stupid fouls by Taylor & Norris. Taylor fouls out trying to block a shot past the 3 point line! What's he doing way out there?


 

[Marshal Dillon]

Edwards fouls out. He has more fouls than points, plus his D has been poor all night. I guess Norris will foul out next.


 

[Marshal Dillon]

Auburn has 8 more points off FT's, what a shock.



 

[Marshal Dillon]

Well, we tried hard to lose & were finally successful. Barn 83-77.

I guess I just don't understand basketball.  The refs called 53 fouls in this game.  What constitutes a foul seems pretty much random to me.  Some things that are clearly fouls get overlooked, like Taylor grabbing hold of the rim.  Then other times a foul is called and you watch the replay and can't see anything wrong.  The ref standing 5 feet away from the play with a clear view of what is happening calls traveling on them, then several seconds later the ref on the other side of the court 30 feet away comes running over and overrules the traveling call with a foul call on us.  It looked to me like the guy walked before Norris touched him on the shoulder.  I just don't get it.

Of those 53 fouls, probably half of them were judgement calls that could have just as easily gone the other way.  So the end result is that games are largely decided based on judgement calls of the refs.  What is the point?  Why not just have a coin toss at mid court and then go home?

The word is out, put Bama on the line. The refs did Auburn a big favor last night by making the game a free throw shooting contest. I am amazed at how inconsistent the officiating is anymore and I blame it on the officials. We all know the rules of the game but the problem is the Refs never call two games alike. The rules don't change from game to game but the way the Refs blow their whistle sure does. I can't put all the blame on the Refs though, Bama needs to learn how to shoot free throws and the whistle may not have the affect on them as it does now.

Bottom line: THIS ^^^.

I think you hit the nail on the head. 

[SUPERCOACH]

I can't understand how anyone on a basketball scholarship can't hit at least 75% of their free throws.  I have no basketball skills whatsoever, but at least I could do that. 

I thought the officiating was horrible, but I think it was fair.  I don't like that last traveling call being overturned the way it was though.
