Arkansas

That game last night was an example of how CBB officials can change an outcome/point margin of a game. With Bama up 16, you had the obligatory trailing team drives to the basket and throws up crap--gets bailed out by officials to send them to the FT line and let them score with the clock stopped-and then team who is ahead drives to the basket, gets bodied/hand checked/grabbed and you don't get a call. Now Alabama furthered the chaos by giving up that missed FT putback--if you watch any game at any level that leads to at least an 8-0 run for the team who is rewarded for the laziness of the team who doesn't give a damn to get the ball.

I laugh how awful DJ Wagner is when you make him play to his strong hand. He's terrible. Just terrible. This is a guy who needs to stay in CBB after this year and leave Calipari and go get coached up by some staff who can actually force him to live in the gym and develop a jumpshot that is consistent. Bama literally shaded him to his strong hand.

Of the Arkansas roster, I wish UK would've had Fland and Richmond. That's it. Thiero and his theatrics can stay in Cal's grasp and Daddy can suck the NIL $ out of Tyson and Walton families. He's a great athlete who has a lot of fake hustle moments tied into losing plays. He's lucky Shows had them to cover last night as he committed 15 fouls and only was called for 4.
I can’t believe how many times he just flails into contact and gets rewarded with FT’s. I’ve see Oweh get tackled all year long with no calls but Adou shoots 10 FT’s a game. You are right though the refs always do that crap, it’s infuriating.

I don’t think theiro has any intentions of scoring when he drives half the time. He drives and jumps to the floor with anticipation that he’s going to get free throws
And with stupid NCAA refs it works most of the time. Sometime, when I have the time to do it, I am going to watch an entire game from the 80's and a current one to compare how many times players fall to the floor on a shot in an attempt to get a foul called. I bet it's 10-1 if not higher in favor of new guys.
