8:30 VCU @ (13) Alabama

[edwd58]

We certainly didn't finish the half well, We were up 28-23 with the ball at the 6:08 mark, yet VCU closes on a 10-4 run. We're not protecting the ball very well.

It was surprising to hear who they had lost to as well, GT and Seton Hall? Oh well, they are playing great defense- I still feel pretty good about our chances though. Like someone else sd- lucky to only be down 1 the way we finished the half. Again, seems like every game i watch the refs are blowing the whistle wayyyy too often. Those refs in Puerto Rico were killing me

 

[edwd58]

Each team is 1-8 on 3 pointers. Our free throw shooting is hurting us, only 5 of 9 (really 5 of 11 when you factor in missing the front end of the one plus ones).

 

[Bear Disciple]

How was that not a charge?!

 

[edwd58]

These refs are killing me. They run us over, no call, they trap and slap and grab, no call, we hand check and get called, VERY aggravating...

 

[37bamagreats55]

How on EARTH was that not a charging call?????

 

[JV's Tide]

how did they not call that charge that lacy drew? he was clearly set.

 

[hoopjsn]

Refs are absolutely terrible. Calling every touch foul against us and letting VCU get away with murder.

 

[rolltideface]

wow- there's no way possible that that is not a foul, one way or the other. Not possible to have that much contact and no whistle. But try a hand check and they'll call it all day.

15:00 mark, VCU 45-42.

 

[gamersfuel]

getting a little ugly right now

 

[37bamagreats55]

These refs might be the worst I"ve ever seen.
NO, I'm not kidding.

 

[hoopjsn]

Ugh VCU can't miss now.

 

[TidePride50]

I feel like I'm watching a game in the Gottfried era with the way these 3s are going down for VCU.

 

[gamersfuel]

i guess a bright spot is that Lacey seems to be catching up with the speed of the college game. VCU's on the ball defense is awesome. gotta go down low

 

[rolltideface]

We have got to step up, the refs aren't doing us any favors whatsoever. All the borderline calls are going the Rams way

 

[RTR91]

Score?

 

[37bamagreats55]

53-50, vcu

 

[rolltideface]

Dang, can't catch a break, ball taking some crazy hops.
