Did anybody look at the box score for this game? There were over 100 FTs shot. 5 Marshall players fouled out, and 3 from Morehead did as well. I know there is an emphasis on touch fouls this year, but the enforcement seems to be inconsistent as heck. In some comparably high scoring games(UNM, Mount St Mary's, and the WVU games) last night there were no more than 70 FT's shot. I don't mind rule changes and modifications, but as a player the one thing I always wanted was consistency. It is going to be hard as hell moving forward when you have refs calling games so differently.

The refs had to call a lot of fouls for rest breaks. One of those refs, Bert Smith was calling his 9th game in 10 days in 9 different states, including UAB and Rutgers. All those free throws game him plent of chances to rest before his next game, probably today.
