More than halfway through the ACC schedule, Virginia Cavaliers fans are beginning to hear and feel a narrative that doesn’t particularly bode well as they start looking towards March. Officials are seemingly calling more fouls on Virginia than they are on Virginia’s opponents. The Hoos are simply getting fewer chances at the charity stripe than their opponents.
It’s more than just a nagging feeling. Taking a look at the last four games, for example, UVA is drawing fewer fouls and attempting fewer free throws than their opponents, especially on the road.
