Just lost two tough, close road games and the foul shot discrepancy in both was the reason. Not saying we didn't foul and they did. In fact, these two teams beat us up by making us foul and then out scoring us significantly at the line. OsU--35; Purdue 13. Lost by 4. MSU-29; Purdue 12.Lost by 6. There were the losses, folks. We are not getting fouled nearly as much and should be. Despite this huge discrepancy we competed well in both games for much of the game and could have won both. Illinois is a slashing team that shoots fTS very well. If we send them to the line again like we did in the last two games, it could be fatal.
