On the season, Texas Tech was 195th in the country in foul rate, fouling on over 25% of their possessions.
Tonight, playing against the country’s best offense and with John Higgins on the whistle, that number was 19.44%.
How does that compare to the rest of the country? Notre Dame led the nation this season with a foul rate of 20.3%.
So the aggressive Texas Tech defense, playing against the best offense in the country, was called for so few fouls that they would have ranked first in the country by a mile had they gotten that whistle all season.
And it’s actually even worse than that. Higgins and company called TT for 4 fouls before the first tv timeout. Only got called for 10 more all night.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get Higginsed. Something we know all too well.
