That's certainly a big part of it, but the free throw discrepancy was ridiculous. WKU was 32 of 36 and Tech was 15 of 23, but most of Tech's free throws came when WKU was intentionally fouling in the last few minutes of the game to stop the clock and catch up. I believe we were 8 of 11 in the last 2 minutes, so we shot 12 free throws the other 43 minutes. Meanwhile, Hollingsworth was 17 of 19 from the free throw line by himself. He is a good player, but several times he was out of control and stumbling to the floor and the refs rewarded him with foul shots. As a die-hard Tech fan it's difficult to be unbiased, but I really thought we really got screwed by the refs in this game. Even when we had a "comfortable" lead, I kept thinking "man, these refs are trying hard to keep WKU in the game."
And a horrible foul after one of our missed free throws that gave them 2 points with the clock stopped
The way that game played out traumatized me.
