@NEBsoccerguy A literal even foul split between Creighton, a team that rarely fouls, and St. John’s the most physical team in their conference, does not sound like an even game to me. I understand there can be outliers but watching that game it looked obvious.
@NEBsoccerguy Please go back and watch that game and tell me I’m wrong. Did the refs make the difference? Absolutely not. But it’s frustrating to see refs getting so caught up trying to equal out foul numbers.
@NEBsoccerguy Creighton is always a team with the lowest foul rate in the country. This isn’t a 1 year thing. When going up against a physical team and having those numbers dead even suggests the refs were more concerned about equality than equity in terms of fouls called.
