# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-10, 4-5) at Syracuse Orangemen (15-8, 5-5) 8 PM ACC Network Ludicrous level foul call on Leday right after half, but love seeing them stave off that 5-0, and not only just hold it off, but come back and go on a run of their own
Should be winning by 20+ right now. Hope that doesn't haunt us
How Satchel Pierce can be that close to the basket and miss so consistently is something I will never understand.
If I wanted to play TE, I would choose Fuente's offense over Pitts.
More misses inside 3 feet! We have 10 points missing in the paint.
That's just how it's gone all year. Any time we're up on an ACC opponent, officials do just enough to nudge the score closer.
These misses at point blank range are going to raise my blood pressure.
That was terrible on offense. Grinding my teeth right now
Can someone explain the Leday foul after half?
That was a terrible foul call on Leday. How it wasn't an over the back call on Syracuse I have no idea
As someone who wrestled all through high school I appreciate this thread as well. It's a drastically underappreciated sport but in my opinion it's possibly the best sport there is. when you wrestle at this level, it is a part of your life 365 days/year.
Now we know why he was rehabbing on a treadmill! Mystery solved!
Huge oversight on My part. Ill work it in more officially into another part because it is super important. See i remembered out of bound but forgot stalemates.
In writing a stalemate is a referees determination call. It occurs when neither wrestler can improve their own position without giving up position to their opponent.
So in the situation you described, the defender has cracked down, resulting in both wrestlers having locks on eachother. If either wrestler breaks their lock, theyre going to give up a TD. Since neither can actively improve, a stalemate is called.
Ill whip up some Gifs after i finish tonites article.
One thing you didn't touch on that can be a little confusing is a "stalemate". jersyhokie, I'm sure you can explain this mush better than me, but as the term suggests, it's when neither wrestler has an advantage and they stand them back up. This happens most often when both wrestlers are standing and one (the attacker as I'll call him) dives for a leg. The defender avoids being tackled, but falls on the attacker. The attacker is now belly down on the mat with the defender on top of him. My non-eloquent description would be the "ass to mouth" position. They both have a hold of a leg. It might look like the attacker has been taken down, but he has not. They basically get stuck in this position with neither wrestler able to really do anything. So the ref calls a stalemate and stands them back up with no points being awarded.
So far we have done well we are hot from outside and Cuse is cold except for close of half and that is the difference in this game.
What day do we sing? I hope we're singing We are the Champions.
Sadly if we had made half the shots we should have inside we would be blowing these guys out. Too many misses right at the rim.
We might need the six point advantage going into the second half if those Cuse OPEN looks from three start going down. The rotation still looks slow on the perimeter, but energy is great on the boards and the loose balls.
Man, this seems familiar... outplaying opponent but making just enough mistakes to keep it close, opponent manages to make just a few big shots... sure would be nice to see a different ending written to this one.
I don't hate it. Great game plan against the zone; we're getting good looks. Gotta figure out how to get a rebound. Also, I like our energy.
Jesus. Get your shit right announcing crew.
I've personally seen at least 6 or 7 so far.
Yes
How many buzzer beater 3's are we gonna give up before halftime this season?

I think Buzz needs to run some dunking drills. We've missed more easy dunks in one season than I've seen missed in the rest of my life combined.
