NORFOLK, Virginia -- When last did you see a basketball game where two teams shot a combined 100 free throws? Most of us who buy season tickets to watch the games certainly don’t expect to see a game where the referees have a starring role. On Thursday night the Norfolk State Spartans men’s team hosted the FAMU Rattlers. The Spartans won the game 91-87 and the game was closer than that. There are a number of stats that standout from the game, but what makes this game unusual is the 60 free throws shot by Norfolk State along with the 38 shot by FAMU.With all the fouls you would think that these are not well coached teams. Norfolk was the regular season MEAC conference champion last season and FAMU is much on the mend from recent history. For those watching you cannot say the quality of play was poor, but what you can say is that the whistles were numerous and in many instances uncalled for.
