Seems weird to be a two point underdog. Home court has some mystical quality. Could be officiating?
Loyola seems to play well as the underdog. They've pulled off a couple this year with a 6 point spread against them, most notably against San Diego State. Officiating has been a huge deal it seems, and a little problematic. I've noticed a ton of blatant calls blown.
The UNI game was the one that really sticks with me as bad; as well as the no call at the end of NC State. Otherwise I think we've done OK in terms of foul distribution (I've certainly complained at other times but that's basketball).
Speaking of UNI though following their win against us, they won at SIU shooting free throws on a very questionable call with 15 seconds left and recently won at Drake this weekend with a 27-10 free throw disparity.
