Message: [QUOTE="Oakland, post: 179027, member: 590"] Bias is clearly the issue here. A couple of points: 1) If you believe that refs have never caused a deserving team to lose, you haven't watched much sports. 2) Refs can also be biased, as in, 'UNC (Duke) always have good teams, they are better, they will make the plays...'. 2a) Refs bias II, I think Craig Forth got called for at least 50 blocking fouls over 4 yrs where he was standing still with his hands straight up, because the refs just assumed that the big white slow guy deserves the foul. 3) I agree that SU doesn't get the UNC treatment, despite one obvious bad call against WV, but I am biased. 4) I think there have been several games this season where the calls were one sided against SU, but I biased, but I'm also right;), which is why I don't feel guilty about the WV game, 5) On the other hand, I don't believe any of the conspiracy theories. 6) I think UNC/Duke get treated very well in the tournament.
