First game I’ve tried to watch since UK going down and I’ve never seen a team get a more favorable whistle than Purdue. If you don’t believe me, the proof will be in the FT total at the end.
Purdue
- Thread starter 247CATS
- Start date
Not even close to the whistle Purdue gets and especially the whistle Edey gets.
That’s fine, I’m all about agreeing to disagree but glance at the FT totals at the end.
I just checked.........5th in Free Throw Rate.
But is that cause he gets a favorable whistle or because no one can defend him without fouling lol
I'd venture to guess guys that are 10 feet tall are hard to defend without fouling lol

Sometimes the more aggressive and better teams get the whistles. I've watched Purdue a few times this year and they really know how to put the other team in mismatches when they're on offense which accounts for the free throws.
The totals at the end does not mean squat since Purdue goes inside on most possessions
Plus drawing fouls is a skill on offense.
Not fouling is a skill on defense.
This is why looking at FT disparity and trying to conclude anything from that is wrong.
Y’all just need to watch for yourselves. If this was Uk, you could say I’m biased because I am. But I don’t have a dog in the fight and it’s plain as day. Edey will shoot 20 FT’s today unless Purdue gets a good size lead.
Some of that is Purdue going over the back and no call. If that were UK, we would have 5 fouls on rebounds already.
Edey gets away with shoving, pushing and elbows more than any individual player in the NCAA
From what I have seen today and a few other times you are soooo right. Purdue just mugged Utah under the basket with the over the backs and no calls.
Edey gets away with alot. Results of npoy.
Both these teams dont seem very good to me. Eitger will get thrashed before long

Oscar never got a whistle even close to Edey. Edey has already shot 8-10 FT’s.
He gets away with a ton.Oscar never got a whistle like that.
This is the correct answer. Sometimes fans like to point at the free throw difference as an indictment on the refs and - as with Purdue - that's just not the case. Most of their offense comes from inside which draws fouls
You’re right! I think Edey has already shot like 12 FT’s in 16 minutes of action.
Number 4 pushed the Utah player out of the way and scored. Another no call. Imagine if the were UK playing Purdue! Our fans would be screaming right now.
Yep. Take a bunch of threes you probably aren't getting to the line as much as a team that's constantly driving the ball into the lane.
I mean FWIW Oscar in 2023 had the 2nd highest Free Throw Rate in conference. He did get to the line. He did get whistles.
The problem was he didn't know how to defend on the other end without fouling.

These fans must be watching a different game than us! 🤷♂️
Agree 100% and it shouldn't be that hard to figure out......that is if there's no blind bias
For comparison I looked up Dickinson....(multiplied average per game with games played)
236 made FG's and 65 made FT's.
Bacot
155 made FG's and 114 FT's
Yeah, in all fairness my methodology was flawed. I didn't look up actual numbers but, even so, your numbers are amazing!!!!
