LSU’s opponents routinely go the first 10 minutes of game without getting called for fouls

I’m convinced the SEC refs bet amongst themselves over not calling a foul on LSU’s opponents.

We need a conspiracy board to keep up with all of these.

Or you could try addressing the facts of the post for once. But you won’t do that because you’re a dumbass.

This is very weird to me too. Every game just about it starts out like 5-1, 7-2, 9-3 fouls or something to that effect

I believe Arkansas didn't get their first foul until the 12:30 mark last night.

I laughed when they marveled at how Arkansas was "playing great defense without fouling" because those words are muttered about almost every LSU opponent. Going 10 minutes without a single foul is not possible. There was a game recently where it was 15 minutes without a foul. Even if your defense is stacked with all-defense caliber players, with perfect technique, rotation, etc., you are going to mess up and foul. There will be a moving screen, someone will fly over a box out, someone will grab a jersey running through a screen, etc. It's not IF, but WHEN. Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum where there was 40 fouls called last night in 40 minutes of action. College basketball officiating leaves a lot to be desired, to put it nicely.

The latest really bizarre claim is that refs are betting each other.

It has happened before. Donaghy admitted as much.

So if it’s happened before, you think it can’t happen again?

How does it happen?

How do refs make bad calls?

They suck, that’s how. I responded specifically to your statement about being convinced the refs actually betting each other.

Wow what an amazing comparison

I have consistently said this season that LSU fouls a lot. Many of them are stupid and avoidable fouls.

But what happens far too often to be coincidental is that the refs choke on their whistles when the opponents foul. There is no way any sane person can say that Arkansas wasn’t fouling in the first half. Even the broadcaster made the comment coming out of the half that “Arkansas was able to play defense without fouling”.

If the refs would have just called the charge calls properly in the first half LSU wins that game because the 6’10 player that spends all game flopping would have been in the bench in foul trouble most of the game.
