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"

Think the UF/USC game had the same crew

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.
