UNC

[MuggsyB]

Wow...since the Manek elbow the refs have called 10 fouls on UNC and just 1 on Baylor.  Questionable at best.  Mayer should have been fouled out a long time ago bodying Love across the halfcourt line.

He certainly should have fouled out on that "over and back" on UNC.

[MuggsyB]

This is insane!! 

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

I can't stop watching this game and get back to my painting. UNC...

[Elonsmusk]

Sochan is a punk.  Referees have been terrible.

[shoothoops]

I’m not one to mention the officiating often. But this is among the worst I’ve seen in a while.

[PGsHeroes32]

That and 1 call was horrendous

Then the ref clearly misses Brown touch the ball, that could be reviewed though.

I agree.  I think he's gotten away with a lot of garbage.  The refs have not been good the past 10 mins or so.

It’s hindsight but Carolina is not a strong ball handling team.  Baylor’s pressure is forcing turnover after turnover.  I wish MU would have tried something early to stymie the UNC momentum.  It never happened.

They also have a handful of guys playing that like never play

Their starting lineup has great ball handling. And they play their starters a ton of minutes. They have 2 starters out of the game for this stretch.

We're not capable of pressing Ike Baylor.  They're much quicker and more physical than us.

Its alot easier to pressure when the refs swallow their whistle

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  This is beyond incredible.

[cheebs09]

With the trouble UNC has had inbounding, I’m not sure using their last timeout here is the best idea.

Was thinking the same thing!

[MuggsyB]

That's the shot they took?  Wow just wow.

Well, I’m glad we tried nothing outside the box.  That worked beautifully!  We weren’t winning the game, but a curveball or two would have been nice.  Let’s go UNC.

We sort of pressed for a bit and it got completely shredded.

The ejection completely turned this game on its head.

[MU82]

I wasn't paying attention to the game after UNC got the big lead. Then I noticed it was down to 6 with a few minutes left in reg, and I started watching. What a finish.

Credit to UNC for getting their composure back in OT. That's not easy to do.

UNC was a very hot team down the stretch and is a threat to keep advancing. They crushed us (as some might recall), and they're good enough to have built a 25-point lead against the defending national champs and top regional seed. Losing both Manek and Love made them vulnerable to a comeback, but something like that probably won't happen again.

Doesn't make our 100-point loss to them any more palatable, but it's not like we lost to a run-of-the-mill 8 seed.

[Farley36]

It appears we ran into one of the most lethal 8 seeds in recent tourney memory. UNC is taking Baylor to the woodshed this morning.

Here comes the attempt to rationalize how Marquette’s performance wasn’t an utter embarrassment.

[Oldgym]

Both things can be true.

Eh...befor the refs pulled one of the most amazing 10 min I've seen...UNC was up 25...hard to play without your 3 best players...and calls consistently going to Baylor.  Shocked that they were able to win in OT.

Perhaps you should read my post again, and let me know how specifically I am rationalizing anything? What I stated is purely a fact.

Don’t bother using common sense and logic with Farley.
