According to ESPN’s John Gasaway, the SEC has been the most foul-prone major conference in all of college basketball each of the past five seasons.
“Last season, while the other five major conferences collectively posted a lower foul rate than they had the previous season, the Southeastern Conference went in a different direction,” Gasaway reported. “The SEC’s free throw rate (FTA/FGA in league games) increased by a notably robust 14%. The only league in the nation that posted a higher free throw rate in 2019-20 was the SWAC. Barely.”
Leading up to the 2013-14 season, the NCAA men’s basketball committee voted to put more of an emphasis on defensive violations, leading to a spike in foul calls for one year. That season finished with a 0.403 free throw rate, compared to roughly one free throw for every three shot attempts from the field we see in today’s game.
As for the SEC, they finished the 2019-20 season with a 0.395 foul rate, on-par with the 2013-14 season. More specifically, South Carolina finished as the worst fouling team in the conference with an opponent free throw rate of 0.571, followed by Missouri at 0.559.

Too many thugs from LSU fricking the curve up for everyone else. This will get fixed once the death penalty sanctions are published. Until then I think the rest of us should just exercise caution and probably wear extra PPE while on the court with LSU players. Our players’ own safety and well being must be the top priority when put in unavoidably dangerous situations such as holding a small lead over LSU going into the fourth quarter. They are trained to go for the players with weak knees.

The refs would call a foul on Chris Silva just because of his reputation towards the end of his career. Real ticky tack shite

Florida needs to start paying the refs in basketball too.

Could be a clean sweep for Missouri teams against LSU

A lot of our conference games are borderline unwatchable because of this. I hate the blatant home court calls. Would rather they just call a good game and not interrupt the flow.

Frickin Refs last season nearly made SEC Basketball unwatchable and it wasn't because of bad play.
Posted on 10/23/20 at 11:16 am to pioneerbasketball
And it makes many of the games nearly unwatchable. I used to watch tons of non-Alabama games. Not anymore.

Same. I'd love to see a breakdown of teams' fouls home vs. away.

Or the opponents ratio at Rupp. That’s a Biggie.
