Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 5358524, member: 2844"] Yes the refs were ridiculous, BUT, UConn has been a fouling machine the past few years. Dan Hurley may let his players beat the crap out of each other in practice but there has to be some discipline instilled so the other team isn't always in the bonus for a good portion of each half. UConn was fortunate that MSU was as inept in their free throw shooting as they were in the field goal. percentage. Yeah, I know it's an exhibition game, but bad habits start here. Thought that Silas was reaching in too much as was Smith (he was much more disciplined vs BCSU). Pleasantly surprised with Karoma last night and Furphy looks like he is fitting in. Loved that Ball has decided to become active in getting to the hoop when his 3 pt attempts are not dropping. People in the chat were getting on Alex for his shooting etc. but I felt he was the rock that was holding the squad together and his stats were rather impressive. Riebe had some nice minutes, but he gets sloppy when he is tired - I am sure as the season goes forward, he will get in better game shape. He has a huge upside. Tough game to watch and unless the coaches wanted the refs to call it so close (doubt it) these refs were horrible at best. [/QUOTE]
