Game Tonight.....VCU

Post by cjdore »

Well our boys are on the road to take on VCU at 6 pm tonight. For those that have it, the game will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network tonight. They beat us last year at Memorial so we need to return the favor!
We are listed as 1.5 point dogs.

Foul discrepancy is glaring. Trey called for a block when he looked set and got run over. Radio call also thought it should’ve been a charge. But hey…
Stack was pissed at no call on a Smith shot where he got hit in the arm and knocked down.
Liam called for a few early chippies.

8 fouls to 4

And Trey boxes out their big man but gets called for a push on the rebound when the big comes over him. 9 to 4
Thanks zebras. Would be nice to see a replay but won’t get that with a terrible call.

A few of the turnovers have been miscues but many are a result of VCU players literally draping themselves all over us. Meanwhile, VU is getting called for any contact. Count is now 11 fouls to 4 in favor of VCU. Refs have a pretty clear favorite so far.

We are playing well. Fouls are a joke. Robbins was taken out by refs in opening minute.

Manjon has been brilliant. Stute shooting great.

This is a hard place to play. And refs are killing us.

How was that not a foul on Ezra’s layup attempt? Seriously.
Hit from behind and knocked to the floor. These refs SUCK!
And as I type Manjon gets hacked on the “steal” then called for a foul. Pathetic.

Stop blaming the refs. We just aren't good. Scheduling wise, I don't know why we would take on this level. We are going to enter SEC play under .500 and frankly we won't finish .500 in SEC play either.

Story of the half: 16 FTA to 5 in favor of VCU
Not to mention the final call against Lawrence on the block/charge. Easily could’ve been a block with the &1.
Had VCU been on the other side of the play it would’ve been, because Trey was every bit as set on the block he was called for.
Absolute horseshit officiating.

When they start calling a reasonably fair game, sure. That half was pathetic. Stack was very pissed ok that last block/charge call and let the refs hear it. That call would’ve gone the other way if the teams had been reversed. It did earlier in the half.

Ended half poorly - again with the help of several bad calls.

Maybe they will even out next half. One end calling it tight, the other letting everything go.

Lawrence’s charge at the buzzer - I thought defender was in the circle, but no replay…

By the way: Jordan Wright is battling a back injury. I know he still has to step up, but if you’ve ever had a back injury and tried to play a sport through it at a high level, you probably have some empathy.
