Florida stinking it up…

Here comes the FLA run.
Ain’t happening. Not against the Anacondas.

As my buddy said: “Taking it to the hoop against those guys is like walking thru a car wash when all the brushes and sprayers are working.”
 
I’ve had Florida from the start. Thought they weren’t going to make it tonight. What happened that made the refs call a totally different ballgame in the second half? 4 fouls in the whole first half and then 16 in the first 12 minutes of the second half? That probably hurt Houston as much as anything, calling it closer.

Refs buried Houston. SEC money came calling

7 fouls in 5 minutes.....you would have lost your shit if that was IU.
Made for TV entertainment, three great equalizers in basketball. One is the shot clock, second is the three point line and third is the zebras. I wanted Florida to win, won my office pool but really liked the Houston team and how physical and in your face they play.

Both teams would have beaten IU by 30. lol

I'd agree. Said that to my son about 10 minutes ago mark. Totally changed the game. I hate that .. let them play and be consistent.

Please name a called foul that wasn’t a foul. I want to watch basketball not a wrestling match. Only way to do that is to call fouls and hope the teams understand and adjust. If they don’t it’s on them not the officials.

I believe it is more about changing what is or isn't called from one half to the next. Set a precedent and stick with it, if the game is called the same way in the first half then Florida probably wins by double digits or if the game is called the same in the second half as the first Houston wins hands down. I believe it just more about the flow of the game.
 
I think the change went something like this.

The first half there was lots of contact allowed, lots of big bodies crashing together, but unless it affected a shot or ball possession, they let it go. Nobody was complaining.

Then UF at the half decided to alter their approach and get MUCH more physical, bordering on dirty, daring the refs to call something. Houston noticed and they upped the ante too, such that both sides were getting chippy. To get control, the refs had to tighten things up, almost immediately. They did. After that, again, the players and coaches were not complaining

The missed goal tending call towards the end of the first half ended up being a big no call since Houston lost by 2!
Yeah forgot that one. Again though there’s always missed calls in literally every game.
