utenation Posted March 30, 2024 Author Posted March 30, 2024 @Chile_Ute, we just landed a sweet transfer. Not sure what college he came from but he played high school ball at someplace called Hickory? Decent shooter I hear. Likes to “take the last shot”. Jimmy Chitworth or something. 1 Quote

utenation Posted March 30, 2024 Author Posted March 30, 2024 Houston nowhere near as good without injured Shead. Quote

Not saying there isn't some truth to this but it would be interesting to see what their average amount of times to the line is in conference, home and away and then in Tourney games. I've noticed how many fans of all conferences always complain about officiating. It's human nature. I'd like to see some data behind this. I should amend my statement slightly. Their average stays the same, it’s the opponents numbers who deviate more so. This year opponents shot 19 FTs in their own arena while in McKale, they shot an average of just 12.7. The difference for Utah? About 1 and change. UCLA? Less than one in home/road splits. Last year was about the only year it wasn’t a difference of at least four. There is something to be said about a deserved home court advantage, but once the tournament comes that advantage is gone. IMO that plays a part of their struggles. https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/opponent-free-throws-attempted-per-game Quote
MrBug708 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Plus we have this call which I still can’t believe was called an offensive foul last year but it was Tony Padilla haha Quote
glduck Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 C’mon UCLA, let’s knock Kim Mulkey out of this tournament. Quote
MrBug708 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Would be nice but our coach is ****** Lavin Quote

It would be interesting to see if the disparity continues in the P12 tourney consistently. That would be an example of true bias in the P12. Not just at home. Quote

I mentioned Worster here the other day. There would be a lot more chatter on Smith if it were true. Nothing on him yet. And I hope not. Quote
