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.
Cuse is just a below average squad that plays with heart and pride.
Still, watch them beat Duke on Wednesday night.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gillon really let the crowd get to him. Disturbing considering he's a highly experienced grad transfer.
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...
