Yes, I was at the game, outside of the last few minuets where some ticky tact were called against us, in non shooting situations, the whistle was very favorable to us all night, if you did not see that then you need to take off the UConn glasses.But were you watching the game? Most of their offense in the first half was wide open looks, you aren't going to get whistled for a foul if you arent playing defense. Similarly Brimah's blocks were some of his best, in the way that he didnt cause much contact with the shooter. I will say that at times I felt the calls were way in our favor, but then they showed a replay and the call was legitimate so good job refs. However, Memphis was moving picking all night, pushing off, there were a ton of touch fouls they could have called on them that they didn't, specifically on our drives in the first half. Refs were bad, but it wasn't as in our favor as it seemed, and the FT disparity had to do with the way the game was played, they were all over us, and a ton of our fouls in the second half werent great calls and came in non-shooting situations
The foul on Burrell against Nolan was an absolute joke.
Yes, Memphis played more physical than us which results in more fouls, but some were a joke, and I wish we played a lot more physical, I promise you if we did we would have more wins then we do this year.
