Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 160056, member: 906"] IMO I feel the ND game is not the game to go after the refs mainly because we shot so bad it really didn't matter. If you shoot 25% with 10 minutes left (that means 25% for three quarters of the game) you don't deserve to win. [B]Have we had games where we should YES! Clear as day.[/B] [B]Did they blatantly cheat at the ND game? YES!!![/B] They have done that many times to us the last few years blatantly cheated against our favor. We are just a team they do that to. [B]Whenever we are having a good year they blatantly cheat against us.[/B] [B]They don't do that to other teams that are good. Its just the way it is.[/B] [B][U]Nobody has cared in the past why would they now?[/U][/B] They only make 5-6 awfull calls at ND thats not to many. The Pitt game this year was much much much worse. [B]Pitt had 20 illegal screens in the second half alone and JB didn't argue just to show the country the refs incompetence to the Big East and the NCAA higher-ups.[/B] [SIZE=6][B]They build a perception to fans of college basketball who watch but aren't that educated that the refs can do whatever you want during [U]Syracuse (only) games[/U] and the refs are still right. [/B][/SIZE] The 14 bad calls at Nova last year were much worse. Now the 8 bad calls against our two centers at Gtown in 09-10 was much worse because they came at one position. The 6 OT game that we won was much worse Thabeets charge then the push clearout to tie the game and send it into OT was worse. [U]We won those three four games though, the ND one where there were 4-5 bad calls we didn't.[/U] [SIZE=6][B][U]Maybe they do that to try to nullify 5-6 bad calls that cost us a game here and there.[/U][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=6][B][U]As long as they get it right during March I can care less.[/U][/B][/SIZE] [B]When your fighting for your life it matters more when you had your chances to get back in the game and shot less then 30 percent for 30 minutes it doesn't so much.[/B] [B]IMO[/B] [B]Also its black and white somewhat.[/B] [B]Sometimes a toughness test is good this should lite a fire under the Butts of Keita and Rak and we have the refs to thank for that. :) . In that sense I am greatful to them.[/B] [B]Being undefeated is much less important then getting better!!![/B] [/QUOTE]
