Can't watch this whistle fest anymore. This BU SJU game is ridiculous.

Both teams in double bonus with like 13 to play. People don't tune in to watch these clowns blow their whistle.

Congrats to Providence and Seton Hall. I expect a jacked up crowd at Prudential this Saturday.

Are we still worried that top 4 teams won't lose enough games to the rest of the league?

Butler wins with 110 points!?!? 77 fouls shots with 56 made! Crazy!

I think you are mistaken. There is one top team, one bottom team, and the rest can be pulled out of a hat.

The BET is going to be silly.

Butler has earned that #2 spot in the conference this season.

My team scored 110 points, and I'm disgusted with how that game was officiated. The Big East should be ashamed.

The first year of the shared refs between the four conferences. (BE, ACC, A-10 & CAA) Hopefully this changes or dropped next year. These guys have reffed multiple final fours and finals. Horrible whistle happy crew.

Like I said, I didn't like the feeling before the game started but I felt like CU had this until Thomas missed the bunny and then got called for his 4th foul with 7-8 minutes to go and had to sit.

like it or not, but that is how refs have to call the games now. If they don't they just won't get NCAA assignments. It's been made abundantly clear to the refs that is the case.

Just looking at the conference stats(just using conference games), the Big East is #17 of 32 in terms of FTA/FGA. So it's pretty much right at average for the season nation wide.

Oh and get this, last year the Big East was #9 of 32 in terms of FTA/FGA. It's dropped percentage wise from 38.4 to 35.1 this year. So sure there's outlier games like this one. But it's been a lot less this year than last year in reality.
