That's it? Gift and Harkless,the teams only big men with 1 foul apiece? They had a front row seat to this beating it seems.

Just as important... Moe and Dom played 38 minutes apiece and neither got to the free-throw line.   These are our slashing wings with highlight-reel athleticism!

Not drawing fouls + not committing any.  Think we may not have been aggressive enough tonight?

The number of fouls had everything to do with the officiating crew and nothing to do with the players.

Sorry Fun, can't give the players a pass on this one .... no reason Moe should play 40 minutes in a game in which we were trailing most of the time, without getting to the foul line.   The refs weren't that bad.  We just weren't aggressive.

I didn't say the refs were bad, or good. I said they didn't call a lot of fouls. Which they didn't: they called 25 total on both teams. As opposed to

Georgetown: 37 total fouls
Marquette: 40 total fouls
USin: 32 total fouls
Louisville: 39 total fouls

They called nothing inside and a bunch of touch fouls around the 3 point line. About 100 shots total, about 10 shooting fouls total. They saw nearly more guys step on the base line than they did get fouled in the act pof shooting.
