The big swing was us thinking we had a basket and one opportunity that the refs waived off saying it was a foul on the floor despite the fact she was shooting. Then we lost the inbounds... So two/three points turned into nothing.

There were some egregiously bad calls and calls were if the refs were consistent it would be easier on the players. But I would gamble that both teams think they are bad calls in the same game.

Turnovers were bad, so was our inability to inbound the ball against the press several times. Baker is very hesitant inbounding against pressure. They need to have Carleigh, Rose, Mathilda, or Peterson just hum it to near midcourt.

Duffy's reliance on White and Wenzel when Nelson was playing better on offense was also a little shocking.

Yeah the ref complaining is silly IMO. I'd much rather complain about say, our inability to inbound the basketball without turning it over lol. Any good team with solid fundamentals can overcome refs who miss a bunch of calls.

I mean is hokiesports even affiliated with the athletic department, cause if it is they should use the correct logo and all.

I haven't watched the game yet, recorded it because I'm still on oxy post knee replacement and I'm done by 9.
Reading the comments, I expected to see a big difference in fouls called against us, but it seems they got called for 5 more fouls than we did. I know we're all homers here, and my record for yelling at refs was set back in the Lenny Wirtz days when I made an ass of myself up close and personal at home games, but reading the recaps, and it was discussed here as well, it's pretty clear the refs didn't steal the game from us. 22 turnovers will kill any team, and free throws and layups missed are correctable problems, right? Also, teams that get frazzled and try too hard foul more often. My point here is, every game, every single one men's and women's, this board fills with gripes about the fouls and the refs as if we're being cheated every single game, by the stripes. Yep, they miss calls, but honestly, do you guys really feel like the refs are against us and for the other teams? Are we losing games because of the refs? I'll watch today and maybe I'll agree, but I must admit that it gets a bit tiring griping about the refs when we start playing like crap, which is when I'd expect us to be fouling more anyway. Turnovers, missed layups and foul shots are losing games for us, men and women, not the stripes, in my opinion. Having watched hundreds of Hokie bball games, I've come to believe that reffing a college basketball game has to be one of the hardest jobs in sports, with fouls as common to play as holding on a football offensive line, with no way to call them all. I still yell at them, but I can't blame them for our losses.
I know we need to vent, and this is a safe place to do so, but frankly, it gets tiring.

I really appreciate the feedback everyone, learned a lot from y'all. I'm looking at either end of March to early April for this so I'll let you know what I end up getting

Yeah pretty tired of it whatever the reason.

MacKenzie Nelson controls the ball better and actually seems to keep them at a better pace on offense.

I caught basically the last 6 min of the game and watched a series of dumb mistakes and saw the 20+ turnovers stat and realized why they lost this one. can't be that sloppy and win many games.

I have and use that app. I did not get the email, though.

so many lazy, telegraphed passes

This was a REALLY bad loss

What the f was Wenzel doing there holding the ball? So tired of her bone headed mistakes
