UVA/Michigan State game thread...

Refs need to be made available to the press after game and be grilled. Would love to hear some their reasons for making calls, because you know damn well their egos are too big to admit they made a mistake. Embarrassing

This entire tournament has been marred by awful officiating. Every. Single. Game.

Anticipation calls like they're going out of style.

Who thought putting Grant Hill in the "A" announcing team was a good idea? What a bore. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I thought that the other day - I find Steve Smith rather dull to listen to as well.

And that was a for sure double dribble by Gil, evened out.

Lets go UVA! Just need to get this thing within a possession. Agreed on questionable calls. UVA not moving the ball enough though too.

I'm sure UVA would rather trade a Gill turnover for Atkins not getting his 4th foul and the point MSU got off it.

A terrible bounce pass made into traffic. Old school announcer "Nice Play what a bounce pass".

The bounce pass is the announcer version of the referee "anticipation call" --- "Nice Pass" as soon as it gets thrown every time, no matter if its ill conceived.

Eh, you could call a foul on almost every play - if you were stupid. Finding a justification though is rarely difficult since it's subjective. Still, I do think it would be nice if they were available for questions. Cuz some are FAR worse than others.

Maybe, at the end of the day, you gotta match St. in the toughness/scrappyness category..

So don't like blaming things on officials, typically the game should be won regardless of officiating, but this one, THIS ONE is truly altering the game... MSU getting most of the calls, and crucial fouls not being called... ugh, I hate feeling wronged

I like Raftery (one of my top 3 announcers I enjoy listening to), but just because it was a bounce pass does not make it great.

If Raftery says it was great - it was great!!!

See - that's why they're confusing.

There was a ton more contact underneath in that sequence - and I'm perfectly okay with the no-call. BUT, you can't call light contact on the other end

 

[Orangezoo]

Lmao all that results in a reach in.

 

[longislandcuse]

UVA seems morally opposed to shooting a three.

Officials continue to suck in college hoops. I swear I've seen 10-15 non traveling calls throughout the tourney.

 

[Ghost]

The no-possession timeout!

My favorite call in the college game! I think Pitt did that to us at the Dome.

OMG, not even close to possession......

 

[longislandcuse]

You can't call a timeout when the ball is bouncing around!? Wow.

 

[Orangezoo]

How the hell do they get a timeout there? Wow thats awful

 

[WaHoos4Me]

How did anyone call a freaking T.O.??? NO POSSESSION OF BALL

 

[iommi]

You can't call a timeout when the ball is bouncing around!? Wow.

Calling a timeout without possessing the ball is legal, don't you know? You get one of those a game.

 

[WaHoos4Me]

We are getting jobbed

 

[Ghost]

Huh.

Weirdness continues.

 

[Deano]

Is the fix in to insure MSU wins this game or what??

 

[longislandcuse]

Officials just completely putting prints on this game now.

 

[bevosu]

With Virginia's offense it's hard to be confident when they're behind late.

 

[longislandcuse]

Huh.

Weirdness continues.

This is the Georgia State ending all over again.
