OWA Bracket Challenge 2023

Also really enjoying the ZERO replays on fouls.

Xavier has decided that if they’re going to lose, they’ll just throw hands on their way out.

that grimy looking white dude has been shoving people from behind all game. Nice they finally called one.

Good thing Texas offense has been so great so far, because they are fucking AWFUL from the free throw line.

Over the back calls are apparently out of vogue.

How was that a foul on Carr?

Apparently he pushed off on their big guy.

Their fucking big guy fouls EVERY time he challenges a shot without a whistle.

My god these refs are just fucking awful.

Every foul is on Texas. The foul called on Carr was ridiculous. X is shooting FTs from here on.

The problem is that they let everything go early, and then it gets out of hand, and then they have to try to reel it in and they start calling things they wouldn’t have called earlier, and it starts to seem random.

On top of that, the team that’s losing is playing really physical, but they just let it slide. Then start to call small stuff on both ends, but still are letting the overly physical stuff go on the other end.

It’s fucking ridiculous how many over the backs and overt shoves have just been ignored.

This Xavier “great offensive team” has been reduced to just flagrantly mugging every single play.

The universe rejects your reverse jinx, Nantz.

I’d not heard of them as a “great offensive team”. More of what they’ve always been: a team that will try to bludgeon you to death.

Grimy white dude will not go quietly.

Then you have not been listening tonight.

Every preview I saw had them as a top-5 team nationally in offensive efficiency

Yep, as the commentators keep saying.

Terry got the message through to this team after the KState debacle that winning would happen on defense. They’ve responded beautifully.
