I did not play basketball and I am not entering the debate on whether it is or is not a foul. The outcome stinks, the free throw discrepancy highly suspicious and and several questionable non-calls in this game. I am puzzled whether this team is snakebitten or just does not have the basketball IQ needed at this level. At this point in the season we need to stop talking about freshmen learning. As many have mentioned, we need to start by not digging a hole in EVERY game after the tipoff.
Im gonna defend JB on this one. What do you want him to do? Get a T on top of the flagrant? Game wasnt over yet
Re-read - quietly chirping
I agree but what makes this one hurt is the consistent favoring UNC (cheaters) seem to get from the ACC.
Great great find
That I would think might fit into the definition. Results oriented, not reffing the play. Had a friends kid that actually fractured his sinus/skull sinus playing soccer on a contested header. Aggressive soccer play. No cards were issued, but if they knew the outcome, the other guy probably would have been suspended a long time (although he sustained a concussion).
We also got down ten in the second half. How do you explain that? The starters at half tied the game in the second half before falling behind by ten.
I thought it was quite interesting that Red and Gmac have become more involved on the sideline recently including during timeouts.

If Davis can't be moving, he has to have his feet set before Judah leaves the court and only go straight up. He was not.
thanks for taking the time. Beyond egregious about sums it up. Expected it down there but up here, never seen anything like it.
Judah and Davis were going at it hard towards the end of the game. Little question exists Judah was determined to go in leading with a high elbow to get an edge on Davis. IMO I have never seen a player lead with a high elbow driving to the basket like that in college - and this is the crux - it was Mano a Mano and in my mind Judah lost his composure and tried to bully himself to Davis To atleast draw a foul.
A good PG needs intuition and ability to make quick decisions reacting on the fly to what the D gives him.
great take, I couldn’t agree more. What is so obvious to us should be a teachable decision making option to the young guy.
The Carolina mafia still has some work to do. Both Duke / UNC still need a lot of help if they want to play first weekend tourney games in Greensboro. According to Lundardi's 1/23 projection the protected seeds at Greensboro are currently #1 Tennessee and #3 Virginia. He's got Duke as a #5 in Albany (plenty of northeast bandwagoners) and UNC at #8 in Birmingham.
Eh, those big swing throughs and steps have gained popularity. Personally don’t care for those moves.
On the other hand I can still visualize Pearl Washington similarly going coast to coast in the waning seconds of a Big East tournament final against St John’s at MSG. Walter Berry blocked the shot in the lane and SU lost; Rafael Addison was wide open on the wing.
Yes it does happen to the best -but not a chronic issue with the best.
The reffing was atrocious last night and everyone knows it. We only shot three free throws all game, which appears to be a Syracuse record. Honestly, the foul shot discrepancy kept UNC in the game! They missed a lot of fouls all game, well before the end of game fiasco.
Yeah, I mean in our heyday Judah comes off the bench for a year. He’s not Pearl or Flynn who as far as I know were our only freshmen PG’s capable of carrying the team on their backs down the stretch of close games.
He was in legal guarding position. Charge
