Oklahoma is dirty

You're blind or willfully ignorant. They are shooting wide open 3's and have had multiple wide open lanes to the rim. yet here you are every game posting foul totals as if that tells the whole story.
One that I will say is this. SEC teams have issues in NCAA tourney games for the very reasons people are posting issues with fouls now. SEC games are like old Big East Games, rough and mostly not worth watching. SEC meetings with officials before the season must go something like this. We are a football conference, just because it is played on hardwood we still want an SEC football type of game. Teams like texas, Ark, Miss St and so forth will have a hard time in NCAA tourney. It is officiated differently. Games need to be watch worthy.
 
The SEC has been allowing mugging. especially on the cutters looking for 3pt shots, go back a watch UK against South Carolina, Georgia, and A&M, or go watch Georgia beating UF, they get by with murder on those cutters, I think they could teach UK's football teams offensive line a thing or two about blocking.

Off the ball and on rebounds, its basically all out war. With the occasional touch foul thrown in, because of course.
 
SEC Basketball is a contact sport
Wague played 12 minutes for OK last night and had 4 fouls. It seems like they were watching him pretty close. Butler played 20 minutes and fouled out. Lamont was rusty and thus was not as quick and sharp as usual. He had 3 turnovers but 6 assists. He only took 2 shots which is not surprising being hurt for such a long period. We really can't say he was targeted by the refs for his fouls. I did not think any of his fouls we not really a foul. Why has our fanbase resorted to blaming the refs for everything? We are better than that and makes us look like we deserve preferred treatment from the refs & SEC. I will tell you that the SEC wants nothing more than for us to be nationally elite again. Keep in mind that Pope assembled our team in short order and as a whole we do not have superior athletes compared to most teams in SEC. We have the best spot up shooters than anyone in the SEC but most can't create their on shot. This creates a team that has not so good defense because the lack of quickness. What Pope has done with the kids he could assemble is nothing short of greatness. When we get quick kids that other teams hav a tough time of staying in front of, our kids will shift the foul numbers toward our competition. Last night for our "it is the refs fault, fans, we shot more free throws than OK. we made 18 out of 24 FT. OK shot 17 and made 12. We won the game on the free throw line.

If officials don't clean this crap up, it will make the game almost unwatchable. I have never seen so much holding, grabbing, body bumping out on the perimeter, that stuff usually only happens in the paint. But that seems to be the way some teams stop the 3 and as long as they are allowed to do it, they will keep doing it and other teams will start doing it as well.
