He was right Illinois needed to stop fouling    I thought the officiating was fine no different then the any of the other games i watched last night.   Illinois on defense has seemed to went back to the when he first started in the league and hacking everyone they can and see if they don’t call it.    Illinois has bigger problems than fouling or the foul differential.  They need to figure some things out quickly.    If any team wants to whine about foul differential on the road it’s UConn.  
 

last night Providence was 29-35 while they were 10-19 and the game before Xavier was 23-29 and they were 4-9.    

Freshmen guards tend to foul a lot.

On Illinois,  Harris and Epps are overly aggressive freshman, and Skyyyyyyy Clark is a slowwwwww-footed freshman. So they accounted for a combined 11 fouls in 51 minutes.  That's 8.6 fouls per 40 minutes. 

For the season? Clark is at 4.6 fouls per 40 minutes, Epps is at 2.7 fouls per 40 minutes, and Harris is at 4.0 fouls per 40 minutes. That's 11.3 fouls per 40 minutes, and is an extraordinarily high number.  In fact, they fouled way below their combined average last night, they just played a few more combined minutes than usual.

For reference, IU's three best/most aggressive guard defenders; X, JHS, and Gallo's foul rate per 40 is about 40% lower at 8.0 per 40 combined. 

Matthew Mayer also picked up five fouls, because he's the Toby Flenderson of college basketball and therefore sucks because he is.

Clemson did end up winning at Va Tech.  Quad 1 win for Clemson and puts them 3-0 in the ACC and 12-3 overall.  The good:  3-1 in quad 1 and 2.  The bad?  2 losses to quad 4 teams.

Brad Brownell better have a good year with the Tigers.

Me and my 16 year old were all set to attend in person, but his high school soccer team just added a game for tonight. He is pissed and threatened to fake a hammy pull.

A soccer player faking a hamstring injury.  Yeah...I'm sure they've never seen that one before

Again goes to show that home run hires on paper mean squat.

Cool to see Coach Walker give a shout out to the people who actually did the work (guessing here) and not someone who provided a signature or initials for the work to done.

Was never in doubt. No way UT would stand by with that out there.

Sad, racist, despicable human beings.

And somewhere, a certain once-signed UT player now at IU is liking his move all the more

Not sure that's racist. Age discrimination, maybe. Stereotype of an athlete, maybe. Not sure it was racist though. But then again I don't know the character of the individual.
