So refs can just control O/U with fouls early in CBB season huh?

Exactly, its a "Hey refs you can make some extra cash so you don't beg us for more money" early in the season

So is everyone aware of it, or are they blind?

wtf wheres the help thy brother love??!!!!

Emphasis is on freedom of movement, so allows refs to call a ton of defensive fouls at their leisure, so if you're a ref and want to make an extra $500, just call all the fouls you want until it goes over and collect, and nobody would or could ever know and its all under the guise of "emphasis"

But look at Tennessee Oregon right now, heavy money on the over, both half and game, and look how its being called. Offensive fouls taking away points and they're hammering players in the paint with no call, keeping people off the line, letting the game get sloppy for an under.

If you cant see these things I cant help you

Well its under if the refs want it under. Then they wont call any fouls, like you see in the Oregon Tenn game. Body checks all day long, guys getting hammered in the paint without calls, Oregon with a steal and in a break away and Tenn wisely intentionally fouls him, no call ball goes out of bounds.

If the refs wanted over, thered be 30+ FTs by now.


They have complete and total control and for everyone that says "Oh yeah they call it tight early" they don't. They call it however they want early. You cant claim all games are called tight and watch this Tenn/Oregon game and say the same thing. This is as loose of calls as it comes OH except for offensive fouls. They're calling those juuuuuuust fine.

Money heavy on Pitt Yale over, two teams can fill it up push pace

Football game in the lane, twice had to stop play because players were injured. Had an intentional foul on a face break, where a guy jumped ontop of a another players back.  Every shot in the lane guys are getting hammered in the head, pushed, arms hit. Every screen is getting bumped, pushed, several players hit in the head on jump shots. Several times players dribbling were shoved and ball was knocked loose, no foul. 3 times a player made a shot, but it was waved off because of a foul but "before the shot" even though the whistle came after the basket was made.


Entire 1st half, Pitt and Yale shot 2 free throw2.


Everyone sit back and think about that. Think about what you've been watching and these "emphasis" calls and 2 free throws were shot the entire first half. Only 8 fouls, even though players were getting injured it was so physical.

2 Free Throws.


Keep telling me they "Always call it tight early in the year" They absolutely do not, they call it however way they bet.
