At the screw job the refs applied at the Garden. Now granted we missed way too many free throws but the refs turned the tide in this game. They were just determines SU would go out of the league with an L.

I've never seen a more unfairly officiated game, at least in person. I would say I hope I'll never see it again, but we WILL be playing Duke.

Sour grapes. The refs were not biased. Why would they favor UL over SU?

Amen to that, I was just going to say there was no way they'd let us win this game. First time I have ever seen a 3 foul called by a ref on the opposite side.

Exactly. It is not like we were playing against a NBE or C7 team. We were playing against another traitor who is also leaving.

Possibly because Syracuse was the glue that held this conference together, just a hunch.

LOL my sarcasm meter is reading at 100. At least it better be!

yeah I don't buy that either. We were certainly a very important piece of the BE but to say we were the glue is fan bias at it's finest.

I said this on another thread--we lost by 17. It would have been closer, but lets move on.

No sarcasm. These refs work for multiple conferences. It's not as if it's college football where each conference has ref crews specifically for that conference.

We built this conference no fan bias.

The other founding members would beg to differ. We certainly had a large hand in building it but to say we did it by ourselves is ridiculous. Even if I agreed with you to say that is the reason we lost is ridiculous.

That flagrant destroyed us.

Were you at the game Frozen? Cause none of the Cuse fans in my center court section had a different opinion about the reffing. It was ludicrously bad. Maybe if I had failed to mention the free throw woes you could say I lacked perspective.

You mean the flagrant that Hancock was trying to bump and grind on MCW?

I agree we have had help, but we were the constant. We never had a lull. We were always good to great. No one else could say that.

Every time SU loses, people blame the refs. It's bush league.

We have rarely been great, imo. We have always been good to above average. That said when both UConn and G'town have more BET titles than we do I find it hard to say we were the reason the BE was so great.

Either way I don't think this particular issue had anything to do with the refs or the loss tonight and that was my original point.

I'm sure you have never blamed the refs before, along with picking your nose.

We fell apart when James got his fourth. But the second that flagrant was called the game was over. That sucked whatever life they had.

Rewatched most of the second half. MCW was not the same after his first fall. He was hurting. The refs were not the problem so much when the Cards were climbing back to even, though they missed a few fouls and a blatant travel. Louisville made their free throws even if they shouldn't have been at the line for all of them. The flagrant foul on MCW was in the letter of the law but totally ignored the FACT that HE was fouled before the elbow was thrown. That's bad reffing. The Cards got their lead as the announcers said by being aggressive, and shooting well. It's just a problem as other posters have said that the aggressive team is allowed to get away with touch fouls that should be called.
