that the VAST majority of teams get the benefit of the doubt at home in terms of free throws shot and overall officiating. The same can be said virtually of all major (and even mid major) schools. And by the way, last year AZ lost a home game to BYU on an awful foul call against them that let BYU shoot 2 free throws that won the game for them. Heck I can recall at Pauley a game where St Johns went there and UCLA outshot the Johnnies 41-7 from the stripe, Ironically, Lavin made his return to UCLA that game. 2/4/2011. UCLA won the game 66-59. I also agree UCLA got hosed on that OOB call against Indiana a week or so ago.
I personally dont meet people and judge them as "trailer trash" nor would I even know how to do so, as doing so would imply I know exactly where they live. Are there trailers in AZ and in Tucson? Sure. And I bet you can find some either in LA or near or even in the state of CA. In a state of 40M, what CANT you find in CA anyways?
Yes, you guys did have us in a very close game there and I can assure you if AZ should be fortunate enough to be a #1 seed, they do not want to see UCLA in the 8-9 game below them.
Thanks for the civil dialogue. Others should take notes.
