It seems like there are a lot more sub-60 point games than usual this year.

College basketball is dying right before our eyes...god I hope they change some rules, start to hold people accountable and work with the NBA to get some more talent in the game.

It's because the officials allow teams to be so physical and coaches, especially in the BE, teach them to foul so much knowing the refs will let them get away with it. The NCAA needs to clen that up.
Stoopified!

It sure looks like scoring is down this year as compared to last year’s tournament, and the decline is increasing, the deeper we move into the tournament.

Exactly. The refs need to do their job or coaches with mediocre shooting teams will keep playing defense like this in order to stay in games.

Bingo, some coaches and even certain conferences (BE and B10) are taking the skill out of the game with overly physical / hacking defense. The refs need to clean this up. The NCAA is in the process of killing their golden goose by allowing this type of play to continue. The average fan doesn't want to see grind it out style games.
