The fact that Iowa state has more fouls than Houston right now is comical. They have hacked Iowa state guys with no foul on probably 5-6 possessions.

One possession alone, I counted 5 hacks, both teams really, but I could not believe nothing was called. That is fair officiating, I guess, because there is no officiating. Ridiculous.

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, but I’d love to see a UConn/Houston matchup. I think our size, ball movement, and shooting would really challenge their defense.

I think they’re one of those teams whose style of play will also lead to quite a few more whistles in the tourney.

They're good but It's just a matter of controlling your defensive glass against them which I think we would. They're athletic, physical and relentless but they're like half a foot shorter than us. They win games attacking the offensive glass and with their ball pressure...they get enough scoring with their 1-3 but those dudes are like 6-1. We're too skilled and too big for them. I feel the same way about Iowa State.

I also agree with your point about refs being different in the tournament, you have to play more than one way.

It's like watching Providence play Providence, and the home team Providence is getting most of the calls while the away team Providence is not getting their fair share of calls.
 
On ESPN Seth said the officials are reinventing what a foul is as the game continues. That was a foul in minute 12 but not a foul in minute 6. Can’t really argue with his logic. On another note looks like they will have a piece on UConn at halftime of this game.
 
These are both VERY limited offensive teams. I just think it’s going to be really tough if they run up against an elite offensive team that doesn’t allow them to turn the ball over and get easy transition buckets.

Both B12 games in the 9:00 window are ugly displays of basketball
 
Comment from the internet: "If they called all the Houston fouls on one single possession, the whole team would foul out." :)

A breath of fresh air considering what we are seeing tonight from the mighty B12.
 
That was one ugly ass half of basketball. Very aggressive D, but the refs are not calling a clean game. Houston has less fouls called on them, but the eye test says they should have more. One play sticks out to me when the Houston player landed on the Iowa players back and there was absolutely no call.

As already pointed out, I don't think the refs in the NCAA tournament would allow either team to play this type of defense without calling a bucket load of fouls on them. I don't mind a physical game, but obvious Houston fouls aren't being called while a few of Iowa's fouls seemed sketchy at best.

Last observation, has either team ever heard of a back cut? Iowa, needs to spread the floor, do some more inside out and be more patient. Oh, and hope the refs don't continue to hose them thus second half.

UCONN/Houston would be an epic rock fight.
 
Roberts runs over the Iowa State player with a moving screen and the announcers just talk about football.
 
Wow! I think all the refs have lost their whistles somehow. Starting to become an entertaining game. Both teams starting to make some shots.

This is the kind of whistle that is going to sink Houston in the tourney. They play the dare the ref to call everything kind of basketball, which is really effective until the ref calls everything.
 
Kansas State nicest uni’s of the night. Especially with the same color sneakers.

Thank God Dunn from Temple selected UH as well. After having the dominoes fall as they did potentially gave us our MVP!
 
Give Iowa State the fourth #1 so we don’t have to worry about playing this trash ball until the FF
 
At the 8 minute mark, Houston had two guys with 4 fouls, only one timeout left and ISU was in the bonus. I would've thought Otzelberger would've taken more advantage of that.
