Top 25 games/fouls called

[BlueBloodNDaVille]

Was curious so looked it up. There were 7 games involving top 25 teams last night. 2 of those in the sec. Here is the total number of fouls called per game...

UK-USC- 54
Aub-Bama- 54
Seton Hall-Butler- 40
Wichita St-Temple- 37
ISU-Baylor- 33
Creighton-Georgetown- 31
UVA-FSU- 22

I'd imagine it isn't just last night. And that tech for hanging on the rim was utter ridiculousness. But what is hard to understand is that these refs aren't conference specific. Is the sec directing these guys to blow the whistle every damn minute?

These refs do what Vegas tells them to do, and they make a lot more money by doing so.

SEC officiating is bottom of the barrel. I can’t stand conference play anymore. The Maxey Technical did it for me.

Very interesting...I seem to remember seeing that over the course of the entire season that the SEC had way more fouls called than other conferences, but I'm not certain. Would be interesting to see the aggregate data.
