This isn't uncommon. Ask Vegas. It's just what you have to deal with when you go on the road.

Fans put way too much stock into Free Throws for one team vs. another. BAMA has had games where we shot way more free throws than the opponent. Most times free throw discrepancy has to do with a team's aggressiveness in driving the lanes or getting the ball inside the paint. Ole Miss did that way more today than we did. I'm not saying that the officiating today was good, but BAMA had a ton of unforced errors & missed shots inside the paint. If we had cut our unforced errors by 1/4 and convert on half the misses in the paint, BAMA wins by 5 or more.

I've noticed this all year. We do not get home calls. I'm not one to whine about calls but the subjective nature of all basketball calls makes officiating have much more of an impact on the game than football or other sports. I've noticed that this year the calls are not even at all in most Bama games and I'm wondering if Grant is disliked by the officials.

We haven't gotten a lot of home calls lately b/c teams are zoning us a lot due to our poor outside shooting. When a team goes zone, you cut down on driving to the lane & force jumpers. You don't have a lot of fouls on jump shooters.

Well I agree with that but I'm just going by what I perceive as fouls that are and are not called on the opposing team. Pressing teams tend to foul more as well (unless you are UK under Pitino when they still got the calls) but I still believe Bama has not had a fair shake in quite a few games this year at Coleman. Vandy comes to mind.
As for our O or lack thereof; I quit watching today at the half because I had better things to do than waste my afternoon watching that performance but too often when the opposing team zones we settle for a 3 pt attempt with less than 5 seconds left on the shot clock. Most of our offensive sets in the 1st half looked like there weren't any offensive sets. Boggles my mind why we settle for so many threes when we have one of the worst shooting teams in the SEC.

I have to respectfully disagree with the Vandy game comment. Vandy was way more aggressive in that game than BAMA and created fouls against us. I thought the Ole Miss game (although on the road) had worse biased officiating. Even though we mainly beat ourselves with mistakes.
As for the settling for 3 point shots... We really don't have much of a choice. That is what the zone defense dictates, especially the way opponents pack it in b/c they don't have to respect our outside shots. I will agree with not waiting until we have 5 seconds left on the shot clock to force a low percentage 3. We really need to force the action earlier in the possession.

We hear a lot of talk about how bad our shooters are. I am not at practice so I don't know if the players are just bad shooters. Our biggest problems are shot selection and having to force up shots at the end of a possession. Bad shot selection (usually determined by the shot clock) can make even good shooters look bad. Bama does a horrible job in creating shots and I noticed several times yesterday that they had open shots early in a possession and passed them up. Also shooters have to find a rythm and our shooters have a difficult time doing that.
