Just as regional as the play. Big 10, Big 12, MCC, etc. in the north typically have lower scores because play is more physical and they don't fast break as much. In the east and south (ACC, Big East, SEC) there are alot of high scoring games with alot of fast breaking. Out west (Pac 10, Big West, WAC, MWC) I would say that both the officiating and the play is closest to "by the book," i.e. most officials call the same type of game, and the players seem to be more fundamentally sound.
Alot of it has to do with the fact that this is how each region's high school games are played as well, and for the most part, western kids stay in the west, northern kids in the north, etc.
