Jay Williams rips SEC Tournament refs, predicts it will hurt teams in NCAA Tournament

Conference college basketball tournaments are in full swing and it’s not a surprise to see officials let players get a little bit more physical this time of year. In the SEC Tournament in Nashville, officials are definitely not calling as many fouls and allowing the players to be more physical. ESPN’s Jay Williams is upset with the way the tournament is being officiated and says it will only hurt SEC teams in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

“I’m really starting to get worried guys about the physicality of this league. I love physical basketball, but the amount of grabbing, there’s no freedom of movement. I’m really worried about this hurting the conference in NCAA play that first weekend. Because they’re gonna call those fouls, Seth,” Williams vented on the ESPN set during halftime of the Texas-Tennessee game.
