Another stat...4 total fouls call first half, 25 the second.
Gotta say, I know everybody talked about Houston's defense, but I'm still surprised by 28 in first half.
I will say this: you better drive a stake in the heart of this team. No lead is safe.
That drive by Haugh, into 3+ defenders, was: (a) dumb and (b) surprising (or not at all) no foul call.
That was a good point pre-game, if Houston winds up with 8+ more shots, they win.

Holy crap, you're right, I hadn't noticed. Zero fouls. Oddly, only 11 minutes playing. He played 24 against Maryland. Condon got his minutes.
After the timeout when we doubled down low, TT twice did the obvious kickout to a wide open 3. Both rattled around and went out, we got the...
The flip side of us taking so many free throws: TT had a 72-57 field goal differential. 27-24 on 3s.
It sounded like the crowd was super into the last 3 minutes. When Clayton hit the go-ahead three, sounded like a plane taking off. When Haugh...
