The SEC has made it a point of emphasis to upgrade Men's Basketball over the last couple of years. Our league has done a fantastic job of making sure teams' scheduling, facilities, and coaches rank at the top of the entire country. While significant progress has been made the SEC is still way behind in one area: officiating.
Alabama entered Saturday's contest having committed the second fewest amount of fouls in the league, so it was a bit odd for the Tide to be whistled for a season high 30 fouls against the Gamecocks. If 30 fouls wasn't bad enough, Alabama would also see four players foul out, I have followed basketball at every level my entire life and I'm not sure if I have heard of four players on one team fouling out in regulation.
