NFT: Syracuse jobbed by the refs

LCtheINTMachine : 2/19/2017 9:04 pm
OK we probably didn't deserve to win most of the night but we were making a patented comeback after bring down by 13 when Roberson got called for a ridiculous foul on a screen down by 2 late. Gillon was gonna get us a tie or maybe get an open 3. Worst call I have seen in some time.

Argh. This loss hurts, now we have Duke, Louisville and G-Tech again and may have to win all. Definitely Puke at the Dome. Abysmal shooting killed us.
Yup

GT bailed out all night. It was pathetic. Why even bother playing?
Roberson stuck his elbow out on the screen

Call was borderline, but not ridiculous.

Cuse is just a below average squad that plays with heart and pride.

Still, watch them beat Duke on Wednesday night.
Welcome to the ACC

He didn't stick his elbow out

That's ridiculous. 16 seconds left in the game and the ref gives the home team a gift. Fuck that.
It was so..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 2/20/2017 9:27 am : link
obvious that the announcers thought it was a foul on GT, then before replay they said Roberson probably wasn't set, but after watching the replay, they said "Oh, that's close. Tough call".

Cuse has a chance to tie or take the lead and the refs call a screen? Complete bullshit. Now, they probably need to win 2 of 3 and maybe 2 in the ACC tourney. And they need to wax GT in the dome. They probably won't get bonus points for taking Louisville to OT or for getting jobbed last night.
You can't make that call

It was ridiculous. Never mind at that part of that game, a bad call at any time.

That being said we should have had a 10 or 12-point lead at halftime and didn't and sucked through most of the second. We aren't winning the close games now after we were on a run with them.
Laughing out load about this email thread...the most ridiculous call

Made by a ref was in the 1989 NCAA championship game with 3 seconds left in OT between the Hall and Michigan.

Greene being called for a bump against Robinson driving to the basket. You let them play the game with 3 seconds left in OT in one of the best championship games ever.

I still feel the pain being a 1971 grad of the Hall.

I said it was the worst call I have seen in some time. That was before my time.

call but SYR played sloppy all night and didn't deserve to win.
Yes Syracuse played poorly most of the night..........  
Phil in Joisey : 2/20/2017 3:26 pm : link
but that doesn't give the refs the right to short-circuit their comeback with a make-believe call.
Thought it was a good call  
RetroJint : 2/20/2017 5:56 pm : link
That rule was changed in 75 so everybody should be used to it by now. If the defender can't see the screener coming, he is afforded a space for one-step change of direction. Roberson, who truly is brain dead this season, didn't leave a space. The placement of his elbow was irrelevant.

Syracuse got back in with their full-court pressure, which is so terrible that it is strangely effective. It presents the opponent with a multitude of options , which discombobulates the decision -making process, I guess.

Tired act by JB afterward. Went off because somebody asked if he considered pulling Gillen. He should have. Gillen was awful and he was not hustling . Instead of simply saying that he stayed with the guy because he has been clutch in so many conference games, Sunny Jim had to rip into Howard, who will be the next transfer. It's not just the sanctions that are thinning out the roster. This guy has a compulsion to belittle his bench players.
I thought JB

Was out of line and unduly rude during his post game press conference.

Gillon really let the crowd get to him. Disturbing considering he's a highly experienced grad transfer.

luckily the bubble teams are dreadful this year  
CGiants07 : 2/20/2017 8:14 pm : link
and 2 out of 3 plus a win in acc tourney over a fellow bubble team like wake or Gt should lock us up for a bid.
So

If every loss Syracuse has endured is because of the referees and every loss Virginia has endured is because of the referees then who is to blame for the Syracuse/ Virginia match ups?

Whiners or martyrs, you be the judge.

Notre Dame will be there again, 'Cuse might not but the Irish will be hoping to catch Virginia in full choke mode around the sweet 16 or so.

Grayson Allen would be the best player on either 'Cuse or Virginia.

Got to give it up for the teams that adhere to the acedemics, at least Virginia pretends to play, Syracuse never has. As much as I love Pearl Washington, well, never mind, history speaks for itself.

Go Irish...

Wednesday is a must win I think. They're not beating Louisville on the road. And I think they need at least one win in Brooklyn.
