Let’s not forget Bama came out ultra aggressive and swallowed our offense whole on the first possession. We just happened to match (and exceed) their physicality throughout the game. They’re probably not used to that and don’t know how to react to it. Most of the second half was whistle after whistle, however the quick calls were balanced. We had 23 fouls/24 free throws. They had 23 fouls/25 free throws. So yeah the fouls were annoying as a fan, but they were literally equal Every fan of the losing team of a big matchup will complain that the whistles were against them, and every fan of the winning team will tell them to stop complaining. That’s just how it is. If we lost and they won, the scripts would be identical but flipped. They have a great resume booster in UNC today, and we play for the championship. Both are great games for both teams [/QUOTE]
