The foul discrepancy between home and visiting teams (esp in sec) has been real for years. I think ESPN even did a study on it.

Definitely get more favorable calls at home. But still an advantage of shooting on your own goals, not having to travel.
I think we can beat Alabama at home

I agree but there’s no way away teams just coincidentally always foul significantly more. So why do refs go into a game ready to call more fouls on the visitor? Crowd induced? They scared of the fans?
I’m not talking about the lsu Bama game. Just something that has bothered me for years

Real, unless it’s Dawn and South Carolina on the road.

I mean…home teams win more often. You foul more when you’re losing. There is some ref bias but I don’t think it’s as great as you’re making it out to be.

College basketball probably has the biggest home court advantage in all of major sports
