It’s so strange watching lower seeded teams play.  I can never tell how good they are because the competition is usually pretty bad.

Like watching Furman vs Chattanooga or Kennesaw St vs Liberty.  It’s just so different.

Is Slawson that good, or is Chattanooga that bad?

Honestly even watching Texas/KU or Zona/UCLA and the announcers talking about how physical the game is and I see zero hand checking, zero bumps on cutters, zero hard fouls at the rim.  Heck there weren’t even many off ball screens.  It’s like a completely different game.  Refs were calling stuff but it was like the teams knew that and had been trained not to make that contact for the most part.  The stuff that was called would make PC blush.  However it lead to more open shots on simple actions as there was more “freedom of movement.”

Most of the time recently I don’t watch that closely if it’s not UConn, or the BE but it was glaringly different in the P5 games I watched this weekend.

The BE is the exact opposite, teams foul every possession multiple times and dare the refs to call it.

I don’t know if this is good for the BE and it’s teams.
