Nothing you mention justifies 27 - 7 free throw discrepancy. Even the neutral college coaches watching remarked on the "unbalanced" officiating!

Just because there is a huge discrepancy in free throws does NOT necessarily mean there was "unbalanced" officiating.

Elizabethtown, for years, has shot more free throws than its opponents.

1) E'town attacks glass.
2) E'town does not reach (saving itself of fouls)
3) Etown blocks out (saving itself from over the back)
4) E'town plays a lot of zone (which lends itself to far less fouls man-to-back full court clutch and grab, like Pitino's Louisville teams)
5) E'town is good. I'm guessing Anderson and Marion both shot a ton more FTs than their opponents did last year, too, en route to the finals. ... Think that is just a coincidence of continual "unbalanced" officiating?
