Okay...but this game post Duke totally blows your theory away. If what you are saying would hold true Texas should be killing us. Except it's a game with 2:24 to go.
Both everyone in the Big 12 and Big 10 hate him. Guess you have been out of the loop.
You can tell they are smartly coached to foul Dendy and force him to beat us at the free throw line vs. our other options.
No sorry...leg cramps are more times than not by potassium deficiency more than anything you listed. Look it up in any health book or medical journal. The only thing you listed up there that is major in cramping is calcium
Chow Line: Potassium-rich foods deter muscle cramps (for 5/4/03)
also:
"Cramps are often caused by a lack of potassium, resulting in an electrytic imbalance. Strenuous exercise with sweating and diarrhea or other bowel disease may cause loss of potassium and other important minerals. It is very important to replace them with supplements. Some people get leg cramps at night for no apparent reason."
"Potassium, an essential nutrient in the diet, is an electrolyte -- an ionized salt in the body that can become electrically charged. Potassium and sodium work together across cell membranes to regulate muscle contractions, among other critical body functions. If there's too little potassium, a condition called hypokalemia can result. Symptoms include fatigue, muscle weakness and cramping, intestinal complications, and in a worst-case scenario, muscular paralysis."

He has a knack for calling fouls. Whether there is a foul or not. He mostly does Big 10 games, and when he is reffing, there seems to be an all defense game with low scores.
They must have cramps as well...If they were in game shape by being into games the first 2 months this wouldn't be an issue
