God bless the refs from Tuesday night’s game in College Station. In Vanderbilt’s last conference game against Arkansas, each team was whistled for 20 fouls. On Tuesday night, the two teams were whistled for 17 fouls — combined. While yes, Vanderbilt only got to the foul line three times while the Aggies shot 11 free throws, you didn’t have the refs taking over the game, which is very good.
The other good thing about this game was that for the first time since the Alabama game on January 7 (which Vanderbilt lost because the offense went bye-bye), Vanderbilt held an opponent below a point per possession.
