College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

I didn't watch the game and I swear this isn't directed @TooLegit2Quit specifically; your post doing this just reminded me of my opinion and I'm bored so I'm typing it out.

I never like seeing just FTs listed as an indicator of poor reffing. It's just too easy of a stat to simply list. Sometimes, teams foul. Sometimes they intentionally foul. Sometimes, they're just bad defenders.
 
Calipari would be T’d up every game if refs didn’t give him 10x the leeway that they give every other coach to yell at them. He bitches at them the whole game, every game.

I was looking at the results of all the games tonight and was scrolling through the UNC-Wake Forest box score….

Tyree Appleby of Wake Forest scored 35 points. But listen to this… HE SHOT 28 FREE THROWS! By himself.
And was also a miserable 6-20 from the field. UNC, as a team, only shot 26 FTs.
 
Auburn just fouls a lot. They were called for 18 against Tennessee and 27 last night. There’s no way to get into any offensive rhythm when you’re doing the things Auburn does. In several games last night, the refs were calling it fairly. Lots of fouls. I have to think after the 46-43 game we won on Saturday, SEC officials communicated to refs to clean up the roughhousing.

This might make some sense, but there is a trend here .... A technical for blowing a kiss?!? That's taunting?!?
I agree that Auburn has a habit of fouling and their offense is more street ball if you are watching Green. I saw 4 guys on the floor falling over themselves and no foul called.
I am not saying it was horrible, I am saying that Texas A&M fouled and the refs gave them a pass on several occasions.

The announcer said he blew a kiss, but he pretty clearly was saying something. Evidently something he should’ve have bc that’s when they t’d him up

Looking at the recent Alabama scores, it appears we have almost no shot unless Alabama plays bad and have one of our best performances of the year.

You may be right and low seeds are nice but we should be fine. This team is built to compete with anybody and all that matters is getting to the NCAA tourney. I have more faith in this team to win since we got robbed in the previous. Barnes is overdue. Losing now is the best time to do it. Rebuild a little momentum and get the offense on track
