Cole went straight up there.

Out scored by 18 in the 2nd half.
I 100% believe the refs are what allowed Syracuse to get back into the game. Syracuse won it from there.
The thing is Cuse outplayed us in the second half. They may have made the comeback anyways because they started the second half making some just great plays and we didn't play particularly well. However the refs were so different on both sides of the court. We weren't allowed to have basically any contact while Cuse was able to steadily increase the physicality with no recourse until the point their play was putting our guys in danger. Only then did the refs actually start calling anything on Cuse and by then they had a lead, momentum, and the crowd behind them. Now we didn't handle their play all that well and may have lost anyways, but we will never know now. Because the refs allowed one team to play a certain way and the other team not.
Earlier in the year Brey went off on the refs and they had 2.5 times more FTs than us. Now Boeheim goes off on the refs at the half and suddenly we're down 8-1 in fouls to begin the second half. If you are a veteran coach in this league you can have so much influence on the refs that it is ridiculous.
Officiating was **** but there’s no excuse for pissing away double digit leads game after game. That probably the 6th game at least that we’ve had a double digit lead and lost. You want to be an NCAA tournament team, you don’t let that happen.

I would play Cole over Banks. I’m sorry but he has disappeared of late. Officiating was absolutely terrible.
