very misleading stat quit crying the better team won

greenhippo · 03-24-12, 02:27 AM

I think they lost because they gave up 102 points in a college basketball game.

BernardMadoff · 03-24-12, 02:30 AM

Probably didnt even watch the game.

Jago2008 · 03-24-12, 02:49 AM

I did watch the game, and crying doesn't come into question here, I've highlighted a legitimate misbalance - what is misleading about that CWD, please present an argument besides a one-line rebuttal. And Madoff, what makes you think I didn't watch the game, is there anything to stats?!! You always talk about lines and stats, present to me one NCAA game in the last 10 years that has one team shooting 20 more FTs than another and I will shuttup, seriously. I want to punch your avatar in the face- no offense.

I thought UK got the benefit of calls in the 1st half but evened out in the 2nd half. That said, UK does get the benefit of calls similar to Duke and UNC. In the SEC tourney, UK shot 58 FT to just 13 in 2 game between LSU and UF. UK had 23 FT's to just 2 FT's in the Gator game. How the hell does a team go to the line only once in an entire game? That was some straight up bullshit.

Jago2008 · 03-24-12, 03:01 AM

Well said, this is the inevitable dichotomy we live with in this sport, penetration in this game was omnipresent, but Kentucky got all calls inside in the 2nd half. Even the commentator with Ion Eagle was quoted saying "why is the ref looking at the clock after calling that foul for Kentucky", with 1:30 left in the game, "is there a need to look @ the clock, he has he game clock in hand..." I hope anyone heard that, this was when Kentucky moved to a 10 point advantage with 1:38 left. line was +9.5.

Regardless at this point its like beating a dead horse, I'm a Hoosier fan, despite being in So-cal, I felt they didn't get a fair game. Hate me for expressing an opinion.

Are you serious? It happens all the time, its happened many times this season. Not sure youre talking about a regular season NCAA game or a tourney game.

Florida's a jump shooting team, that stat doesnt surprise me, although I dont remember the details of that game.

Indiana wouldn't stop fouling at the end idiot.

letsgo · 03-24-12, 10:30 AM

FYI, Indiana started intentional fouling before the last minute, but you even said, with one minute left it was 29-17. It was closer to a 10 shot differential.

Like I said, I dont think he watched the game.

JMUplayer · 03-24-12, 12:57 PM

It happen in probably 15-20% of all basketball games...sometimes is plays out like that.

CWD · 03-24-12, 01:11 PM

your post says 37-17 which is irrelevant because they shot 14 free throws in the last 2 minutes when indiana was fouling intentianally. that is why it was a 2-1 ratio and that is why it was misleading. take away the intentional fouls it would be a 23-17 ratio which is nothing to complain about.

i doubt you watched the game.

Thank you its not like that was hard for people to figure out either. Plus Indiana missed the front end of a couple 1 and 1's so that also limits their ft attempts. Plus UK making their's lead to 2 shots most of the time so that increases their attempts.

This year's team typically shot more ft's than their opponents because 1. They dont really foul very much and set the NCAA record for blocks in a season. 2. Offensively they attack the rim a lot which leads to getting fouled more often than a team that settles for jump shots and 3's. Its not like this is rocket science fella's.

Jago2008 · 03-24-12, 09:11 PM

Whatever I'm over it, talk all you want. I was wrong it was 10-29 fts at the 1 minute mark. I really don't care about opinions, this was just silly.

Made up 2 units on Louisville today I'm fine. With that said the ft % was much more fair in that game (12-18 - 12-15).

Go F youself, I stated that.

MoneylineExpress · 03-25-12, 01:12 AM

Do you know that more athletic and talented teams tend to draw more fouls which results in more free throws?

SASH · 03-25-12, 01:22 AM

kentucky and ohio state are 2 teams that have really stood out to me this year that get EVERY SINGLE FUGGIN CALL. Absolutely ridiculos with these 2 squads. U breathe on these 2 teams and its a foul. Sickening, but nothing new. Ive accepted it a long time ago and moved on from it

Florida was driving to the hole on every other play but couldn't buy a foul. After getting hacked at least 20 - 25 times you then give up. When have you ever seen a team get to the FT line only once in the entire damn game? Hell a womans team would get to the line more than once.

and How do you explain UK getting 20+ FT's than LSU?

Mr. Doughnut · 03-25-12, 02:28 AM

It happens Jago. Great game though. Sometimes ya just don't get the breaks. Who knows, if Pritch throws down that dunk and IU goes up 6, maybe this becomes a different game. And yet maybe it changes nothing.

Just look at this year as a bonus, no one expected it. And remember that next year we may very well become the UK of the tourney. 30+ wins, B1G Title, and a number 1 seed are easily obtainable goals. This team will be LOADED.
