Or shall I phrase it as that NYT chick did, that "Syracuse won by the length of an officials bad call."?  Yes the Triche call was a bad call.  But SU was still up three at that point, and who knows if Asheville would have scored?!  It's just like saying that WVU lost because of the non goaltend call on Keita.  KJ turned the ball right back over.  We were up two at the time.  There was still a lot of time left.  WVU got three good looks at the basket and missed.  So they score the basket.  Now it's tied, and SU has a full shot clock to work with for the win.  WVU may have lost anyway, just like Asheville may have lost anyway.  You don't lose a game on one bad call, unless it's a bogus whistle with like one second left.  The game is won or lost by what you do leading up to that call.  JB adjusted on offense late in the game and Asheville went stagnant.  We made a run and they didn't.  Their players created the lane violations that gave Scoop another chance to extend the lead.  Not our problem.

I get that they played a good game and that we didn't show up, but there was no one call that cost them the win.  A call cost them a possession, but not the win.

All of these so called educated reporters that suggest we won because of one bad call should have their credentials revoked.
