Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 5182676, member: 11664"] Being 4th in the least amount of penalties yet being 350th in free throw attempts illustrates a point that I tried to make in another thread. That being that while refs aren't calling many fouls against UConn's aggressive & pesky defense, the same refs can't be expected to hand UConn any favors to help them get to the foul line. Together the 2 statistical extremes don't support the fact why so many UConn fans continuously complain about penalty calls not going UConn's way. It happens frequently on the BY game chat and in the post game threads. UConn fans can't have it both ways. to see the penalties not being called against UConn yet complain how we're not getting to line due to non calls. In conclusion, I think it's glaringly obvious why UConn is not getting to the line, in large part it's because UConn's agressive defense usually doesn't generate as many whistles as it could. That results in non-calls for both sides & UConn not getting to the free throw line much. We'll just need to wait to see what happens when a game is called really tight by the refs. Folks have already complained about the bad calls that will be made when we play SCar at their home. It's the same thing that happens when teams play us at home & the calls & non calls often go our way too. [/QUOTE]
