I am. You can't beat officiating. It was a huge impact on the game

 

[two3zone]

Me you Jim, not mad at all, more proud than anything else. Love G, love Cooney, going to miss them both.

 

[Pearl309]

Im always mad when we get boatraced

 

[Tobias Funke]

Not enough to change the outcome in my opinion. Also we killed ourselves fm the line. If we shot even 65 percent the game would have had a different complexion down the stretch.

 

[realorange]

Great season guys. LGO

Cmon. Yeah I feel that we didn't get a lot of inside calls. We wouldn't have hit the FTs anyways. But we got beat by the better team. Our O was god awful against a team where it had to be our best. It wasn't, we lost.

 

[tee1222]

We made an amazing run and can expect the same and more next two seasons.

Hell yeah. We pulled to within 7 at one point. It should've been 2 but the FTs were abysmal

UNC is simply the better team. And in truth, quite a bit better. The refs didn't help but the Orange failed to take advantage of several opportunities to at least push UNC a little harder.

If I'm an Oklahoma fan I'm seriously pissed tonight. As a 'Cuse fan I'm sad to see the season end but I'm not disappointed...

I don't know how much angst Sooner nation is feeling. Hoops is just time killer until football season down there.

 

[wallacecuse]

We earned a shot at the eventual champs, gave em all we had. Not much to complain about.

 

[Cowtown]

Oh, stop it. The officials had no effect on the outcome of the game. It was fair all the way. Don't ruin a great run by bitching about the officials.

 

[cuseincincy]

Not mad but a little disappointed. Bottom line is UNC made plays down the stretch and SU didn't. Cooney played his heart out and I know everyone else was trying hard but just couldn't make plays. UNC had the best player on the court in Brice Johnson imo. UNC shot 54% to SU's 41%. Can't do that against a better team. But what really killed SU tonight was Meeks (7-9), Hicks (3-4) and James (2-3). Thats 75% from their "other" big guys. Seems like they hit every 6-8 foot baseline jumper they took. I don't think any of our big guys even took one from there. Maybe Lydon can develop that some next year when he doesn't have to be the big guy.

 

[ROCuse]

When you're playing with house money the losses don't hurt as much. Really, REALLY fun few weeks.

They've had a habit of puking on themselves in big sports moments since the 2000/2001 Orange Bowl. They never should have lost to Indiana in the 2002 Final Four, then the football team got run by USC, then lost to tough title games to LSU and Florida. This year they lose to their rival in Texas then Clemson smacks them around in the second half of the semifinals. Now there's tonight...

OU is definitely a football school but hoops a longstanding tradition. Losing in historic fashion like they did tonight hurts that Sooner ego...

Solid observations, CIC.

 

[Orange Barrel]

Go nova!

Oh Lord

 

[Cowtown]

Oh Lord

If you staked me out in the sun, built a fire on my chest and said all I have to to to end it is say "Go Tarheels," I'd say "More wood."

 

[Orangeman]

Still had the familiar 10 min run of one-sided calls.

Did you not see how upset Williams was through much of the game? I'm telling ya, it was fair.

 

[SteveC]

The team played their hearts out tonight. Made their run, just not enough size. UNC's frontline is enormous.

Looking forward to next year and hopefully being able to play great for a full 40 instead of treading water and playing great for 15.
