Glad to be playing out of conference. Refs were brutal to us all year. This game, other Duke game and UNC were awful
I don't bitch about the zebras. But there was an agenda in this game. Pascal and marek were taken completely out of the first half on touch fouls allowing Zion to go off against Sidibe. It wasn't in the Friday night Espn script to have Cuse play UNC with Zion healthy. And K kept the starters in to the final horn still jacking up threes. F the ACC, we will never get a fair shake down there. Proud of our kids without tyus taking it to them.
yeah i mean they gotta be smarter but they just arent.I'm not going to disagree with that. But I'll also add Marek and PC haven't gotten any smarter on D all year. I like them, but they still made the same dumb fouls last night and tonight they've been making all year. They set themselves up to get squeezed.
This is all trueWithout Bolden they took out our bigs to even it up. Paschal gets hosed on so many blocks. Marek puts himself in spots to get called for chippies. We were up and looking good until they both got 2. Then a few dunks and we looked dazed. It ruined our whole gameplan when they both got sent off early. Deep down we all knew that getting UNC/Duke III with Zion was going to happen unless we won comfortably. Our guys get hammered with no calls while touch fouls are called against us all game.
but as a ref you have to admit what you saw was blatant favoritism no? I want the truth from you... these guys are on the take and you know it.I'm not going to disagree with that.

We play a style of basketball that leads to a lot of non aggressive (or as a wise man once said nickel dimers) fouls calls. Cheap stuff you learn as kids not to commit. UNC comes at you downhill and they get so many benefits from that style.
Plenty of games in the previous conference with Marquette, UL, etc pushing and slapping all game long. I almost get Zion being such a freak that refs don't know how to call him.
Yes to all of this.
Want SU to get calls? We should play with tempo and purpose. We play slow and soft.
The refs and the league office aren’t out to get us. Some of you are ridiculous.
Thought the refs abused us in the first half. Thought we got some breaks in the second.To be fair about the officiating...the Orange got away with some non-calls on travels by Marek and Buddy and Frank's "trip." Also at least one wrong call and maybe two on charges that Marek drew.
That said, ACC officiating is not exactly first rate... as it should be.
Why would playing with "tempo and purpose" lead to a decrease in fouls called on defense?

There's a lot of truth in that. Teams that play better get the benefit of the officiating because it's the territoty that comes with playing better. They score more points, get more rebounds and turnovers, and yes fewer fouls because they're making a lot more good plays than weak ones. Duke won last night because they played better overall perimeter defense and interior offense. Specifically, our ball handlers could not exceed their on-ball defense, and in basketball that's a real problem.
