Gathers Walk-on

Just read in the DNews that Utah had at one point scored

on 8 straight layups. I know there are many here complaining about foul discrepancy and I agree TJ’s last one was terrible but 8 straight layups and the discrepancy in points in the paint tells me that they were the aggressor and we were spotting up and playing outside in...did not see the whole game so maybe don’t have the entire picture but I hate the “blame the ref” mantra.

Holy crap. Talk about 29 as an outlier. Geeze. 🤦‍♂️

idacoug

12/5/19 3:02pm

I was wondering about that...yeah 29 is pretty high huh?

Avery

12/5/19 3:04pm

we did have 31 against pacific last year... man that game was unwatchable

Why was your team so aggressive this game?

Tokolosh

12/5/19 3:04pm

its crazy. I'm surprised we weren't called for more I mean we're so aggressive

Cougforgood

12/5/19 3:10pm

I always wondered what your name meant. Now I get it after googling it. Tokolosh

You are right, he is an evil spirit

You know who was aggressive last night?

Its obviously not safe to play us

You going to be here all night?

I think someone who has time should go through the game foul by foul and count

YbeatsU

12/5/19 3:08pm

Fouls called on Utah's opponents: 28(E), 29, 16, 23, 25(L), 25, 12(L), 20, 29

NarfUte

12/5/19 3:08pm

I'm confused what E means

Cougforgood

12/5/19 3:11pm

I'm guessing it represents the pre-season exhibition game.

the flop is strong with this one ^

Cougforgood

12/5/19 3:13pm

This is good info. Puts the game in perspective.

Boring

12/5/19 3:41pm

I disagree

Cougforgood

12/5/19 3:45pm

The careless turnovers were damaging as well. Better control

The Llama

12/5/19 7:43pm

You spelled 3/4 wrong.

ochobeeguy

12/5/19 4:04pm

Your logic is unsound. You claim it wasn't the fouls but the loss of players.

BYUlv

12/5/19 8:49pm

In other words, Utah places an emphasis on "drawing fouls"

jreid191

12/5/19 3:49pm

I also smell a rat with $80K and his underhanded contact with officials off the

Mitty

12/6/19 2:37pm

Oh, so the most fouls called against a team playing utah all year, now that is

Bluedarts

12/6/19 1:09am

This is the better metric. Utah's style of play (points in paint) attracts more

NotTokolosh

12/6/19 11:21am

tokolosh, is that you?

Cougforgood

12/6/19 11:28am

Nope.

NotTokolosh

12/7/19 8:26pm

So then BYU should have had a massive spike in fouls against Kansas. Oh wait, they didn't.

slatecoug

12/9/19 2:48am

it's called flopping. Easy 6-7 fouls on BYU were Utah flops. Even got warned for

demon_llama

12/6/19 11:29am

Kansas is way more athletic and a lot bigger than Utah. There was no massive spike in fouls by BYU in that game

slatecoug

12/9/19 2:46am

Just read in the DNews that Utah had at one point scored

Gathers

12/5/19 3:29pm

Aye. Make Allen play to his left and BYU wins by 10...with or without bad refs

Doogal McCougar

12/5/19 3:31pm

Its hard to play D inside when breathing on the opposing player is a foul and

MikeDitka'sStache

12/5/19 3:32pm

They were letting Allen score easily long before foul trouble

Doogal McCougar

12/5/19 3:45pm

8 straight layups?? That’s crazy to me. Clear effort problem IMO.

Gathers

12/5/19 3:49pm

Yeah, but most of those layups were off of steals at the top of the key.

ochobeeguy

12/5/19 4:06pm

another guy who " didnt see the game " but.... lol

gurt

12/5/19 5:36pm

IN the second half due to foul trouble

BYU '80

12/5/19 6:24pm

Did you watch the game?

yahtzee

12/6/19 12:29am

One play in particular was reflective of how the game was called. Seljaas on

Big Daddy D

12/6/19 11:56am

Go back and watch the game first and then come back please

slatecoug

12/9/19 2:50am

What's crazy is they only had 17 fouls called while playing very aggressive D

boorad

12/5/19 3:35pm

Neither team was really playing aggressive defense. 15-17 for each team would

Coach's Dad

12/5/19 3:39pm

They were guarding us past the three point line and playing tight D

boorad

12/5/19 3:43pm

2nd half only, and it wasn't egregious. Most of Utah's tight D was decent.

Coach's Dad

12/5/19 4:07pm

Just saying they were playing tight D and denying all over the court

boorad

12/5/19 4:18pm

Utah never had any calls go against them away from the ball

BYU '80

12/5/19 6:25pm

That's directly from flopping and then getting the refs to award your flopping

Doogal McCougar

12/5/19 3:50pm

Been thinking about this all day and it's maddening

boorad

12/5/19 3:59pm

Yeah, it's a clear foul if your feet aren't set and in a defensive position.

Doogal McCougar

12/5/19 4:17pm

Can’t count the number of times I heard Wrubell say something to the effect of..

icecougar

12/5/19 8:12pm

That was an accurate description of Haws' 5th.

SpiffCoug

12/5/19 8:37pm

the 5th foul on Haws was egregiously bad.

demon_llama

12/6/19 11:31am

80k must of dusted off some fat man Rick vids from 1990s

byukarl

12/6/19 8:42am

It is because we finally played a good athletic team that strained our defenses and caused pressure.....or something

indocoug

12/5/19 3:37pm

this is tic right?

Cougforgood

12/5/19 3:46pm

The weird thing is if you watched and had to name the more aggressive team

cougarnw

12/5/19 4:23pm

That’s absolutely comical. The funniest part is that we actually played really

12/5/19 4:49pm

Directly related to how tight the game was called

BYU '80

12/5/19 6:26pm

What about Utah’s opponents?

Unibro

Last two or three by utah were in the last minute when the game was already

Mitty

That is not entirely true. That is as much for appearances as for any other reason.

slatecoug

12/9/19 2:57am

How can anyone look at that and think the refs should be exonerated?

Mitty

12/6/19 2:35pm

Some perspective on 29 Fouls/Game. The highest fouling team in the NBA averages 23.5 Fouls/game
