Not really. It's because of the new rules. I bet a lot of games have a lot of fouls and FTs.

Odd. There were comments after the first couple games about the number of FTs not noticeably increasing but since the Rocket- Purdue game they do seem to be calling more. Maybe the refs eased into it? Some of the scoring increase can be attributed to the intent of the new rules which was to allow offensive players more freedom of movement away from the hoop. Some points are coming on free throws, some because defenders afen' t hand checking and teams are getting better shots. Six games in and UT is shooting over 50%. Both UT and Kent had a 100s to 90 s win over the weekend. Last time I remember score like that was UT-Central going 105-103 or something in like, five OTs

Isn't he like some sort of baby genius? Graduated real young? He might not have the body for day to day yet.

Stony Brook beat Detroit 104-102 in 3ot

109-107 loss to Central Michigan. But then again it took them 65 minutes to score that many.

So why were there no cheerleaders, or blue crew, in Detroit? Undefeated team playing only 60 miles from home!

I heard they were still recovering from Wednesday night. Campbell kept 'em out to late.

It seems like this has been said before, but BC is really been going down hill the past 5-10 years. Even at the last home MBB game, there were only 2-3 BC there. WTF is up with that?
