The answer, as always, is fuck Duke. Though, I'm starting to hate Kentucky more. Maybe fuck Calipari would be more accurate.

Pretty sure just about everyone that isn't specifically a Kentucky fan hates that douche.

This is ridiculous. The Cincinnati game was 2:15 long. Multiple players fouled out.

The thing with the fouls is, it's not a new rule, it's just the refs enforcing the same rules that have always been in force, they just stopped calling fouls for some reason over the last decade or two.
I don't think it will take too long for teams to adjust. If nothing else, it should lead to better flowing, high-scoring basketball once teams figure out what they can and can't do on defense.
I watched Mizzou tonight, we only got called for 14 total fouls, no single person had more than 3. Didn't seem much different than usual, but we also don't run a high pressure, pressing defense anymore like we did a few years back.

The refs aren't being consistent right now. There were 59 total fouls on the KU game, 60 on the OKST game, and 59 on the Oregon game. For the most part they weren't playing any differently than the games I saw that had fouls in the 20-30 range.
Enforcement of the rules is really no different than a change to the rules themselves with respect to the effect on the game. And if they want a faster paced higher scoring game, shorten the shot clock for fucks sake, much easier solution.

Fortunately it's all completely meaningless. Yay for anything but the bullshittery of college football rankings!

As much as I like to pile on Calipari for being a shady mofo in recruiting and how he runs a program, he does seem like a good human being off the court. Great story here.

I could live with that. Need Duke to be a nice and highly ranked team when Florida State crushes them at some point this season. Also, I wouldn't mind if Kentucky lost every game for the rest of the season.
