@upstater

can you come show them how it’s done?

 

[Dove]

Can't be angry. Down 12. Went to OT. Could have won it but just short.

 

[awfuldan]

Wish CV got then ball to Gilbert on that last possession. Confident he woulda atleast gotten a shot up.

Yep. Love CV but Al needed the ball there.

Hate the refs.

Lil Al

Who?

 

[BugsyCT]

Hearty effort tonight. We hit even one of those 3s in OT and maybe we win. Tough call on CV at the end - we gotta learn to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. Still, seeing improvement the last 2 games.

 

[superjohn]

The game was lost, again, due to careless turnovers, not the refs.

Refs were brutal.

 

[temery]

Refs were brutal.

They seem to be with every loss.

 

[Towney007]

We've committed over 24 fouls in five games this year. Maybe. JUST MAYBE........

 

[UconnU]

officiating was a joke. We’re not even a physical team, were a finesse team. No way we committed twice as many fouls as them.

He's not lying though, Vital wanted the ball and he totally freaked out with it.

 

[Vuce]

I do not fault AG at all he was great. At the end of regulation he has polley on the wing wide open for three to win it. He tied it with a great play. Just tough to win without your best player in OT on the road. Polley would have had a wide open three to win or lose. Ah well on to the next.....

C’mon @temery some of those calls were monumental and just brutal. They weren’t empty calls. They affected the outcome of the game

 

[Hamms30]

I don't get how Cincy is just as physical of a team as we are and has been historically, and they shoot 22 more free throws than us. I'm not saying the fouls called on us weren't fouls.. but jeez a lou there was a lot of contact on the other end of the floor too.

 

[Tommyboy]

Super proud they didn’t fold when went down double digits in second half. Little more balanced whistle and that’s a win.

Only issue is AG HAS to have ball in his hands there at the end.

Uh no. He didn’t. We got jobbed, again

 

[superjohn]

You were okay with the flagrant? The push off on Cincy's final possession? When we had two guys boxing out and we get called for the foul?

 

[HawkHusky]

Very happy that we were so competitive, but this one really hurts.

 

[Giddyup5]

There’s a difference between vital making a bad play versus him wanting to be the hero.

He has and continues to mature.

 

[superjohn]

Uh no. He didn’t. We got jobbed, again

Wait, what?? Vital got jobbed on final possession?

What are you watching. Stop and actually watch the game. Vital wanted to win the game on his own. But you continue to praise him.

 

[Devland]

Vital was willing to be the hero plain and simple.

fixed it for you.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

They seem to be with every loss.

The people that constantly complain about refs are awful. The people that go the exact opposite end of that spectrum are just as wrong. The officiating in this game was very one sided.

 

[uconnsouth]

Small wins. Let’s keep piling them on

 

[Towney007]

What the actual does that mean????

If you're in a game where it's close enough for the refs to swing the game with a call, then it's not the refs that are the problem. Point being - teams have dozens of opportunities to win games/increase leads, etc. Zeroing in on the officials for a call(s) is silly.

The officiating tonight was terrible. But it's been bad all year. We also hack the crap out of teams and when you lack competent bigs, you give up more fouls. Complaining about the officiating's pointless. For one - because it's only going to get worse. Its a new normal with no one wanting to officiate anything anymore. And second - and more importantly - because we played like crap in enough extended periods for it to not really matter all that much.

It's just fruitless. Fine to be frustrated about it, but it's not why we lost.
