I caught the A&M game and soon a Mizzou was within 2 scores, everything is getting whistled.
Last night, I did not closely watch the entire game, but surprising to see Arkansas in that much foul trouble.
I thought it was BS that the referees spent so much time reviewing the charge call to see if Mizzou player was in restricted area. The Arkansas player was not leaving his feet for a shot, restricted area circle should only matter if player with ball is going towards basket to shoot or elevating towards the basket to draw defense and make a pass.

Which only came AFTER they spent 5 minutes reviewing about the most flagrant foul I've ever seen when the Arkansas guy literally bear hugged our man on a cut and proceeded to form tackle him.
The weirdest part about that game was how physical they let it be for the first 6-8 minutes. I noticed almost immediately that these guys were beating the hell out of each other. Then at the after 12 timeout, suddenly everything got whistled.
It was like they realized they'd let it get out of hand and spent the rest of the game trying (poorly) to ratchet things back.
Not a well officiated game, IMO.
