Interesting article in LJS (someone please link?)

Ugly season of basketball.

• Lowest average points per game since the early 50s, long before the shot clock and 3 pt line.
• Lowest shooting percentage since the mid 60s.
• Lowest 3-pt percentage since the mid 90s.
• Fewest fouls per game since I can't remember when, but a long time ago.¹

Wonder if the low number of fouls correlates with the low shooting percentages and, therefore, low scoring averages.

 

^{1.  This number may be artificially low based on fewer fouls called against the team that was playing Nebraska.}

I believe it.  The national champion was from the Big East and the officials basically let them play a rough street style of basketball.  I really hope the NCAA does something about this and stops it.
