At least you missed the tv.
R. I. P. my college TV remote.
Was only able to listen to the radio. Horrible officiating based on the calls. Those referee's should be fired and never allowed to call a game again.
The team in the lead NEVER commits more fouls than the team behind unless the ref's are cooking the game.
Guess we are safe then because Sam Rogers doesn't get hurt, but Peoples is a beast from what I've read and limited film I have seen.
Prime country
Tell that to the 1.5k people who rsvp'd.
Don't even mention it
Occasionally, yes, but statistics (and the article in reference, I believe it was SI) show that refs tend to favor the home crowd. Unfortunately, that second half drove me to pour more and more bourbon and now I don't have the desire nor the ability to find the source I'm "citing".
There's no way his brothers follow him right? I don't see it happening because they will both likely start here.
AltNation as well but it's been trending toward pop-ish lately and not as much of the rock alternative. I agree 100% about everything they play ends up in phone or car commercials.
I will say it has been a long long time since I have been so disappointed in a basketball game. I hate moral victories but that is a good sign.
And now I am ready to be buried under 3 feet of snow!
I would believe this works both ways too. Some times I think after a bad call, the ref embraces being the villain and thrives on the boo's from the home crowd.
I almost never watch hoops. I tuned in with 11 minutes to go. The officiating reminded me why I no longer watch hoops. That said, the great effort by the guys cannot be ignored.
This loss hurt worse than any since Sean Dockery
Like I posted below; 8 out of 9 fouls went against VT for a stretch in the 2nd half. This is absurd and had a profound impact on the outcome of the game.
I think the call that made me angriest was the block foul on Leday. If that's not a charge than there is no more defense to be played. He established outside the stupid ring and got run over only to have the call go the other way. Backbreaker.
Yea considering, i think this has been a relatively successful class. With yulee and pridgeon we even have a chance to move into the top 30
He would have at least drawn a foul.
OH boy, the ways this could go. PHRASING!

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 Haven't been this mad over Tech basketball since Seth's last bubble pop. I'd be fine if we deserved to lose that game but watching an officiating crew take a win away is too infuriating.
Yeah I can't remember where I saw it, but I read an article within the last five years or so that showed that home field/court advantage comes entirely from referees feeling pressure to appease the home team's fans. It really is a shame.
I agree. We are one injury from Stephen Peoples.
Logjam?

Slow down for a sec. Trying hard to catch up. May need someone to translate typo's shortly.
