I actually get along with this guy most of the time but according to him, Sallis did no walk
You need better internet friends, peaco.
The 'refs' weren't the difference between the 30pt loss and last night, as he seems to be implying.
Agree the game was officiated strangely but it was so for both sides.
Wake seems to rely on a steady diet of free throws. Am I seeing them wrong in that regard? That Hildreth guy becomes a whirling ball of knees and elbows tryna get to the rim/line.

I believe our guys are taking the game seriously for 40 minutes now and it shows up on the scoreboard.

Good shooting night overcomes turnovers and FT disadvantage.

Great post. Ngl, at first I thought I was gonna have to hit you with one of these ..
... but you did a nice job of keeping the pace going. The ball didn't stick to one side of the court. No 'Antonelli' moments of lunacy. You had a plan and stuck with it. Gameball to you, sir.

Our guys were periodically getting hammered by “incidental contact” too. I saw guys shoved out of their dribble routes and guys on defense knocked backwards. I know our players are generally lighter but there was some serious court bullying going on at times. I’m ok with this not being called but it means you also allow some occasional traveling to occur due to guys getting knocked around.

A lot to like here. Especially the comparison of scoring runs. Seems like we don’t usually come out ahead on that one.
As others have wondered, it seems like teams should full court press us all game. I imagine they don’t out of fear of picking up too many early fouls but you can see in the scoring by half that pressure really gets us out of rhythm.

Anyone who thinks Tech’s record against tough opponents, especially on those opponent’s home court, is because of officiating, is an idiot. In my humble opinion.

Some people have unshakable opinions
Guilty. But lets continue to talk about the Duke fan guy.

It’s just going to make him a tougher player in the long run

Ha ha. I trolled Deacs boards a little. Fans in combustion mode over refs. Complaining they gave Tech the game. Not one post mentioned Wake shooting 20 free throws and Tech shooting TWO!!!
Yes
!!!!!!! Yep, refs screwed you by sending the ACC’s leading free throw team to the line for 20 FREE shots. We got TWO!! Those two from Gapare were both needed.One thing EVERY team’s board agrees on -
Ted Valentine is awful.
Yeah you can't allow guys to be dislodged ..... then call a travel. Can't be both. And I'm sure that's what set CDS off, particularly on yet another play where Baye got clobbered by their big. I get he's a physical opponent but 2-hand shoves are fouls. That's not "letting em play" especially when you call incidental touch fouls on the other end. The free throw disparity speaks loudly.
And how in the actual F*CK did Reeves not get shots on the play where he was fouled with .7 on the shot clock? It was obviously a shot attempt. He was obviously in the act of shooting. It's like they heard the crowd complain so they decided to call it on the floor to appease them. Ridiculous!
They had more FT's, fewer turnovers, fewer fouls.Ha ha. I trolled Deacs boards a little. Fans in combustion mode over refs. Complaining they gave Tech the game. Not one post mentioned Wake shooting 20 free throws and Tech shooting TWO!!!
Yes

They also hit six fewer triples, were -9 on the glass and assisted on just 33% of their field goals made. Was it a bad call not getting MK for that travel? Sure. But it was also a bad call on Sturdy and another not calling it on Sallis. Also, don't spot a team 22 and the game likely isnt that close.
