If they're going to call games like this they need to go to 6 personal fouls for disqualification. Every team runs into foul trouble every game. Definitely takes away from the game. Makes having depth that much more important.

I disagree, every season starts like this as teams and refs adjust to new rules. Have to think it will balance out in the next 6 weeks or so.

GGGG

This game sucks. Just stop changing the rules emphasis every year.

It's brutal.  Both ways.  I can't stand games where there's a whistle every time down the court.  And there's a whistle damn near every time down the court.

This makes sense to me only because there are less (scholly) players on a college roster than the pros, and a shorter shot clock will result in more possessions and more fouls.

Ypu guys are like the girl who goes on Jerry Springer to find out her boyfriend is cheating on her only to go after the other girl.  Dumbass, your BOYFRIEND is the one cheating on you, not the other girl. Go after him.


Don't like the fouls?  The blame is on the players, not the refs.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I agree! If it's a foul by the rules, it's has to be called. It was even both ways.

I can live with a lot of bad officiating if it's consistently and fairly bad.

The players need to adjust.  Five fouls is plenty.

Not when you move your feet and stay in great defending position but get called for a foul because the offensive player initiates contact.

Having every starter on both teams with 2 fouls in the first half is not good for the game, unless they go to 6 personal fouls, in which case it doesn't matter as much.

Yes, the players need to adjust to the rules and the calling....no argument there.  But the quality of officiating was not consistent at all.  Very questionable calls all night (unfortunately the most obvious/telecasted ones went our way).

Nailed it again Wades.

Anti-Dentite

Those refs sucked, this game was in no way representative of what can be expected with the new rules.
You know the difference between a dentist and a sadist, don't you? Newer magazines.

I didn't think any of the fouls called against ASU's big guy were fouls. He fouled out in 7 minutes. If you don't want to blame the officials, then we should blame whoever came up with all of these ticky tacky rules. It's no wonder why no one watches these regular season free throw contests.

brewcity77

The new enforcements were known before the season. They were emphasized in all the preseason scrimmages and exhibitions. Now everyone's acting like it's a surprise. If the players don't want to be called, don't get as physical.

Everyone knows the deal. I can't imagine the coaches didn't emphasize the importance of this. This isn't on the refs, it's on the players. The NCAA is trying to increase scoring and this is part of it. Shorter shot clock, reducing physical defending, this is all exactly what they said was coming.

Correct - but tonight's fouls occurred because the players haven't adjusted yet.  Which is why I said..."the players need to adjust."

They do need to adjust but I also think there are a few calls where defenders get punished for staying in front of/in good defensive position on the ball handler.  There was one on I believe JJJ in particular in the middle of the second half that I thought JJJ did a great job of staying with the ball handler and the ball handler put his shoulder right into JJJ's chest and he got whistled for a foul.  Same with Hank's drive in the 2nd half that should've been a charge.  Duane's block call was correct, the defender was clearly still sliding sideways and underneath him.  There was also one on Luke either late first half or early 2nd half where the ball handler just ran straight into a straight up and down, planted Luke and got the call.  It's brutal.  It's one thing to lock down on defenders "riding" a ball handler.  It's another to punish good defense.

I did something tonite that I didn't think I would do. I didn't do it in the Iowa game, but tonite I turned off the game. I couldn't take it anymore. I would never waste my time watching guys practice free throws, but that's all this game was.

The officials do not know what to do. They just know they have to keep on blowing the whistle. And that is not what I am going to watch.

They need to call more fouls. They should ding the offensive players that are pushing off. It makes no sense that a defensive player cannot put his hands on an offensive player, but the offensive player can push the defender away.

The mistaken calls show that the refs need to adjust too.  Giving a 6th foul would prevent the goal - less physical play - from ever materializing.  Patience.

We just won two games we weren't expected to win.  Enjoy your evening.

Are you nuts? A foul every 50 seconds and you want more? They are destroying the game.

When fouls are called at this rate it ruins all flow. I'm glad they won, but find college basketball harder to watch every year.

Then we should stop complaining about the lack of defense and the lack of ability to keep anyone out of the paint. You can't defend with the new rules. Any contact, even if it's 100% initiated by a ball handler, is whistled. Can't play defense.
