Message: [QUOTE="ScuderiaDiU, post: 3884604, member: 11050"] Missed free throws = Put the game in the hands of the refs (versus being far enough ahead for the refs to not matter) Not enough defensive stops = Offense is Arkansas' strength so this was to be expected and does not explain the upset Empty offensive possessions = The real issue and, by far, the biggest factor. It was due to fouls that were not called. I am not sure who needs to hear this but our team almost ALWAYS fares better in games where they refs don't just "let them play". It is even worse if they don't let us play but let the other team "play" ([I]cough[/I] ND 2018 semifinal [I]cough[/I]) Youth = One reason why they were not able to compensate for the overly "physical" way the game was allowed to be played. But, honestly, even our older teams have struggled with this. We ARE a finesse team first and foremost. [/QUOTE]
