So its NC ST still a bottom of the table ACC team like someone suggested.
Agreed. Sadly we cannot control the fact that the officiating game in and game out is going to predictably go against us.A lot of these TOs were off of terrible calls. (Road ACC refs in general are an automatic -5) Just watched the game and came on here to see if anyone mentioned the “10 second violation” in the first half.
NC St made a shot and the 30 second clock started winding down immediately, it was probably already at 24-25 seconds when we inbounded. Pack took a couple dribbles, walking it up and it was at 18 and the ref (who wasn’t manually counting off 10 seconds like he’s supposed to) looks up and calls a 10 second violation. I was appalled and also confused that I was the only person seeing this! None of the coaches saw it either. Ended up being a difference, as one of our a million turnovers. Unacceptable, as this isn’t a judgement call it’s just incompetence.
TOs, not the refs, killed us.Agreed. Sadly we cannot control the fact that the officiating game in and game out is going to predictably go against us.
Nothing worse than knowing it was likely the difference in a W or L, but we have to cut out what TOs we can.
Yeah, you’re entitled to your opinion.TOs, not the refs, killed us.
Two evenly matched teams. We beat them at our place, they returned the favor.
It's always the darn refs conspiring against us, game in and out! We'd be undefeated every season if it weren't for those Canes-hating zebras.Yeah, you’re entitled to your opinion.
The simple fact is that the officiating cost us points that would have won a game we caused to be close with our turnovers.
These are simply not mutually exclusive facts.
You can always take the exaggerated high ground and ignore reality. Similar to our fans that get onto old schoolers that have been around much longer and tell us how we are not real fans because we put our pom poms down for a few minutes to identify weaknesses.It's always the darn refs conspiring against us, game in and out! We'd be undefeated every season if it weren't for those Canes-hating zebras.![]()
