re: The fix is in from the SEC office

The thing is bad calls should happen both ways!

The approach is to call early fouls on the Tigers to back off their pressure. But, Florida couldn’t make their fts.
Usually, this allows the other team to mount a run and get back in the game, but it didn’t happen, so they had to continue to call a one sided game.

He's a fkn liberal what do you expect.

That was truly terrible officiating last night, but if there was a fix it probably came from gamblers not the SEC office (college basketball has a long history of tampered games).

Leagues fix games, too. Listen to the Whistleblower podcast.

I love these posts. Yeah, the SEC office gives a flying frick who wins the Florida-LSU game.

only emotional infants think the SEC has the fix in for LSU basketball.

Maybe, just maybe, we get more fouls because our defense is so aggressive.

Different refs work different games. For the fix to be in, many different refs would need to be in on it, as well as the ref supervisors who grades refs every game. And these are refs that have worked for decades to rise to this level. But they hate LSU.

Yeah, that sounds logical.

The refs are going to call way more fouls on us each game. That means we may do even better in the tournament than we are now.

A lot of people on here said that this team would live and die by the number of foul calls. They can’t get after it as hard as they want because the refs are calling way too many ticky tack fouls. If they “let them play”, this team would be very very difficult to beat.

You miss point. Ours mostly were fouls… the same play on the other end was not.

We play aggressive defense and therefore foul a lot. Last night was bad, but y’all are all up in your feelings if you actually believe there’s a conspiracy to take down LSU basketball through biased officiating.

If you ever played basketball or understand basketball, you’d know that the more athletic, aggressive team “creates” the most fouls.

Yes, LSU plays very aggressive defense and, yes, does commit some reaching fouls.

However, last night, LSU was significantly more athletic and more aggressive driving to the basket than Florida. That superior athleticism and aggressive drives normally create a foul differential that would favor LSU. The Refs last night never called fouls against Florida when we aggressively drove to the basket and they obviously fouled. On the FL offensive side, we would cause their players to walk, double dribble, etc and the officials would either not call them out or call a foul on us.

I’ve never seen a more blatantly unfair game called in the last 30 years than what I saw last night. It was criminally unfair.
