You've got to be fucking trolling me. Those two things can't coexist.

UNC fans seem to think that the only thing that kept it close was their terrible FT shooting.


...we made one more FT on the same number of attempts.

Actually, down the stretch, Paige was a way bigger beast. Let us be #fatty #objective about this shit. How many 3's in a row did he hit down the stretch???

Except that if that no-call was actually a call, which is especially possible after they had to review the fucking play [and still didn't call it], that would have probably been the game.

Haven't followed this thread at all....I'll read it tomorrow.

But this loss is harder for me to process than the usual heartbreaking loss and/or loss to carolina. Leading up the game I was genuinely apathetic...moreso than I can ever recall...expecting a double digit win by UNC. But as the game progressed, I was really impressed with not only how well we played, but how we responded to unc's runs, and a few calls that didn't go our way (not blaming officiating, but a few calls went against us in crucial situations and it would've been easy and not out of the ordinary for our team to fold). We responded to adversity really well in this game. Every time our back was against the ropes and it seemed like we would fold, we punched right back.

If this was earlier in the season, I'd look for the silver lining....I'd say, this is a step in the right direction and that this proves we can make the NCAAT. But it's too late for that now. So while I'm very happy and proud of how the team played, this can't even qualify as one of those pathetic "moral victories" because it's too late in the season. It just hurts.

Paige was unreal. So was Warren.

Fuck UNC.

you can't call a foul after the fact after a review

the only thing they can review in that situation is who touched the ball last

wait, you aren't even talking about the same no-call

There were two egregious no-calls involving TJW towards the end of the game...one in regulation and one in OT. Surely we can agree on that.

I have no problem if they don't call TJW trying to draw contact on the last play of regulation (as long as you don't whistle Lewis jumping for a loose ball .5 seconds later)

2/26/2014 11:56:14 PM

missed FT's missed during any point of the game count the same as missed FT's at the end of the game. a point's a point.

We were leading 83-81 when Warren "lost" the ball OOB. If they'd call a foul there, make it atleast a 3 point game with 35 seconds to go

Ahhhh...no. Deficits with 10 minutes left get treated differently than deficits with 10 seconds left. You're better than this.

2/27/2014 12:02:50 AM

I prefer to look at the stretch where couldn't secure a defensive rebound in the first half as the reason we lost. I was so mad I just wanted to get away. Far away. Maybe I'm gonna buy a plane ticket and am gonna go over there this week and just see what the fuck is up. Several friends have said that's what I should do, while my folks have said to just move on. How stupid of an idea is this?

^^of course there are worse situations to miss a FT than others, but a team can go 4-9 in one half and then go 12-12 in the second and still lose by a point and blame missed FT's

I mean...we would have fouled him if we had tried to stop him earlier the way those fuckface refs were calling hand checks on us. Once warren missed that first free throw I knew it was over (or when they didn't call the rape on him with 35 seconds left)

or "at the end of"?

You must be new to the internet.

If someone quotes something and responds with a ^ or a +1, then they probably support the words they quoted. If, however, they post a shitload of words after said quoting, they probably aren't supporting the words they quoted.

2/27/2014 12:20:31 AM

Yes, just didn't feel like typing it. Your post says there is only one blatant no call in the game, and it is in regulation. It does not say there was only one blatant no call within the limits of regulations, its not qualified like that. Just pointing out why you are confused.

2/27/2014 12:21:09 AM

We were jobbed. End of story.
At least, in the Syracuse game, we can blame it on home court advantage.
Not for this game.

2/27/2014 12:25:36 AM

We got jobbed, but we also failed to provide any challenge on Paige's layup. There is a reason we've lost 3 games or so while leading during the final 10 seconds of the game

[Edited on February 27, 2014 at 12:32 AM. Reason : ]

2/27/2014 12:31:50 AM

you can never blame ONE variable for the entire outcome of the game. You can, however, pinpoint many MAJOR FACTORS.

The top 3 in my opinion are...

1. State's matador defense
2. Marcus Paige
3. A thorough screwing by the refs on at least three plays where they made egregious, and obvious mistakes (intentionally or not...that's not important)

See? I can blame the refs, without letting our terrible end of game defense off the hook, and without citing a conspiracy theory.

Sure, I will, because there were two turrrrible no-calls total, between regulation and non-regulation.
