Xavier Vs. Ohio Scrimmage An Apparent Foul And Free Throw Fest

Yes, 71 fouls called, and 91 free throws attempted.

SN ANALYSIS: These rules sure seem like they’re for real

The best part: Two players—Ohio’s T.J. Hall and Xavier’s Isaiah Philmore—each were whistled for seven personals, and a third, Bobcats reserve Ricardo Johnson, had six.

So yeah, it appears the referees are buying into calling the hand checks and blocks that used to be charges.

And it serves as a warning of what games may look like in the early going.
