[More Cowbell]

A lot of that foul discrepancy is because EC had to foul on purpose to stop the clock late in the 4th quarter. Before that, the difference wasn't as big.

But the main reason there was a difference in foul shots was the offensive gameplan for each team. EC took the ball inside a few times early in the 2nd half and was sent to the line on 3 separate occasions. But after that, they seemed content to just launch threes the rest of the game. Hard to go to the line when you just shoot long jumpers. Valley on the other hand was taking it inside much more frequently, and drew a lot of contact. A team that shoots closer shots will tend to shoot more freebies. Just the way it is.

I will say I thought the tech called on the EC player in the 2nd half was not warranted. He did push off, but a common foul would have been appropriate in that situation. Beyond that, I don't remember anything that looked like a really bad call.
