Based on UK/Miss St and tonight, it has to be at least 30
I thought the UK - Moo State game was the worst officiated game I had seen in my memory. And not because calls weren't going UK's way... it was bad all way around. The players on both teams were highly frustrated. MSU fouled out 3 and UK 1 with about 4 more sitting on 4 fouls.
The two games last night looked like they kept up the pace. The USCe - UF and LSU - Aub games had plenty of lowlights for the officials.
In LSU game an Aub player fumbled a rebound out of bounds with no LSU player even attempting to contest it and it was called Aub ball. Fortunately it was under two min and they went to the replay and got it correct.
Another jewel in USC UF game had a guard drive the lane and got his junk swatted away and of course this had to be a foul. On the replay it was obvious that the defender let the guy go by and chose to eject the much smaller guys shot in flight and hence zero contact with the offensive man (by feet not inches) leading the announcers to ponder aloud "maybe he touched him on this heel"

Players could foul less
They probably could if we could find some officials to call a consistent enough game from beginning to end instead of being so inconsistent you don't know from half to half what is/isn't a foul.
It's what happens when calls are largely subjective.

I'd like to see crews fined.
A panel of retired referees should review games with excess fouls and/or controversial calls that effected outcomes.

You can't take subjectivity from the officials. So many factors are involved...maybe robots eventually.

What's the over/under on fouls called on the Cocks on Saturday against UK?
Well it is a wash with how the Auburn game was called.
We would have still lost, but we had 30 fouls with like 10 min left while y'all had maybe 15 all game

Think the UF/USC game had the same crew

I just don't remember officiating being this shitty in the 90's and early 2000's
College officials are more ticky tack than anything in the NBA. The flow of the game is terrible.
In the Arkansas/aTm game the other night, I don't think there was a single foul called in the first 5 minutes or so. It flowed so smoothly, but once one foul was called, all hell broke loose and it was whistle after whistle.
I also think officiating inconsistency contributes to chippy play on the court. In the Ark/UK game a few weeks back, the officials were terrible IMO. Calls, lack of calls, led to chippy attitudes between the teams.
Things like that could be avoided with consistent officiating across the board. When I watch a basketball game, I am not tuning in for a FT contest. I am watching to see what two teams go against each other in a game.

Because they decided to error on a no call. No they error on making a call

I see this constantly now. In our game last night, a player drove the lane, the defender was square in front of him, hands up, backpeddling and got called for a foul when the offensive player touched his chest. WTF? Can we not just let those go? I'm 100% sure, if the foul hadn't gone against the defensive player, it would have gone against the offensive player, which is equally stupid. A foul should be a foul, not simply a little bit of contact.
