it's funny, all year long i've heard from announcers how any trip whatsoever would be called no matter what even if it wasn't blatant - bullshit

"i'll tell you how they are going to explain it, because they already have this morning on FB...and i quote, "There was plenty of no-calling throughout that game that went in RI's favor..." personally, i didn't watch the whole game because i didn't know the game was on (still wouldn't have watched the whole thing, just the part where unc loses). Was the game called pretty fairly throughout?? "

Considering there were 3 bad calls to end the game and they all went in UNC's favor I would say this is false. Zeller's blocked shot was actually a goaltend (when they showed the replay you could see the ball was barely starting to go down a very hard call to make live so I will give the officials that one) They called the ball out of bounds off of RI when it was clearly off of UNC (then they didn't show the replay properly so you could only see the head of the UNC player who knocked it out announcers claimed it was a rhode island player). Then the no call on a foul to end the game.

Didn't see the game. I was hoping that this thread being bumped was an indication that they lost, but was disappointed.

The no call? It's UNC, a NCAA cash cow. If they're in the final they'll draw ratings, so I've grown to expect this sort of thing.

I just saw the replay on Sportsnite and they didn't even mention the no-call. Bunch of UNC grad homers trying to keep State down.

Was definitely a trip but not as egregious as I figured it would be...

Sportsnite..what is the hell is that

and I totally forgot about this game till I come in this morning and dude is grinning ear to ear

I shake his hand and say "I would like to congratulate you on your hard fought NIT SEMIFINALS victory" and I emphasize NIT all drawn out like ENN-EYE-TEE

He's still grinning, but a little less so

4/1/2010 7:38:36 PM

i didn't see a thread for the game itself so i just continued in here...my bad

4/1/2010 7:42:59 PM

IT'S OK, IT GAVE ME AN EGG

4/1/2010 7:50:07 PM

You gotta foul someone (not shooting) if one of your players is down IMO. It's just such an easy 2 points playing 5 on 4.

4/1/2010 8:16:45 PM

holy shit gave him a shove

4/1/2010 8:17:11 PM

It is ridiculous stretch of officiating to start the second half. Fuck UNC and the NCAA for being so out of control.

4/1/2010 8:21:21 PM

Finally

4/1/2010 9:05:25 PM

hahahaha, awesome

go all the way to the finals just to lose to fucking Dayton

UNC #67!

4/1/2010 9:06:20 PM

bump.

4/1/2010 9:06:29 PM

you cant bump a thread that was already at the top of the page

4/1/2010 9:09:10 PM

Well I'll be damned. I thought it was a sure thing for them to win it all.

4/1/2010 9:09:43 PM

excellent.

from espn recap. what complete tarhole-loving bullcrap. I would laugh hysterically if a UNC fan told me they expected to win NCAA again with this years team.

4/1/2010 9:32:10 PM

well i guess we don't have to worry about what to do with an nit championship banner at least

4/1/2010 9:37:20 PM

What did dean do with his championship?

4/1/2010 10:23:47 PM

it's more prominent since it was the only show in town at that time, but it's still much smaller than the ncaa championship banners and in a separate section

I don't like UNC as much as the next State fan, but I can't get behind that sign.

I could support it if it said "keeping bitchy girls..."

And even if it's a bit sad, Carolina losing made my day.
