Fouls disparity vs. Penn State nothing new for Northwestern

Penn State took 45 free throws to beat the Cats. Why aren't the Wildcats getting the benefit of more whistles?

Can you imagine if Purdue or Indiana lost a game with the opponent shooting 45 free throws?!? The BTN would do an hour long special investigation about it that would loop throughout the day.

On Edit: Also, I think these refs had brain damage because of the Covid vaccine

January 4, 2023 at Northwestern. Northwestern shoots 40 free throws. Illinois shoots 10.

It’s easy to forget when your team gets that advantage at home.

And yet, it clearly doesn't still bother you at all.

That was an interesting game. One of the few games that Cats have played where the refs actually blew whistles when the Cats opponents repeatedly threw them to the ground, tore their shirts, bloodied their arms, and body slammed them out of bounds, while at the same time Boo and Ty kept getting away with suplexing Shannon and Dainja.

I'm sure to you that seems just like last night's game.

But you may be biased.
