LSU Loses to Arkansas Little Rock 70-54

Unless the kids were throwing elbows on every other play, 64 is just an absurd number
of fouls to be called.

My benchmark for an obtrusively refereed game is 40.

There were 136 shots attempted and 38 offensive rebounds so a total of 98 offensive possessions that resulted in one or more shot attempts. Add in 39 possessions that ended in a turnover and in total the two teams had 137 possessions - with 64 fouls that means that every other possession on average had a foul called ... ugh!

per ESPN box score Virginia beats The Ohio State 87-82

Ohio State plays 5 players, Virginia 6 .......................something is wrong here

Doesn't UCLA have like 5 freshmen, many of whom are starting? If so, not too odd they'd struggle in an opening game against pretty decent competition.

Meanwhile, my Scarlet Knights beat a pretty decent St. Joes' team (2nd round NCAA last year before they got to UConn--returned 4 starters) by 24 pts. Big story is that Canty starting to look like the HS AA she was recruited as.
