Not a good look at all. I was curious about the excuse for the injury.![]()
WVU Assistant Sheds Light on North Carolina AD's NCAA Tournament Incentive
Somehow, West Virginia was left out of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night, and there has not been an explanation given that has made sense as to why. Committeewww.si.com
One difference is them (and everyone else) holding our guys when they're moving without the ball. We run more off-ball motion than most of our opponents and as Coach has said, the refs refusal to enforce freedom of movement rules is a huge impediment to our offensive effectiveness. It another reason we seem to do better when the drive and dish (because we're not dependent on the motion to get us good looks). So when the refs decide (like Sunday) to start calling various forms of contact a lot more (and you're right it was highly random) than normal, but they don't call the holding and grabbing more frequently as well; then we find ourselves at a distinct disadvantage. Especially with our limited depth. If they had increased the holding/grabbing calls as well then UF would have had a few foul out as well and we'd have shot more foul shots. No ideas if we would have won, but it would have been a tight game.I agree the officiating was awful, but they also called some on Florida that could be debated too. I don’t think the fix was in, we have to play at a top level to beat Florida in every aspect & we simply didn’t.
We didn’t hit enough 3s & we didn’t rebound well enough (especially our bigs).
Now the tight whistle, definitely played a part in some of that especially rebounding.
The game we beat them, we held them under 25% FG & 15% 3PT and out rebounded them, that didn’t happen today.
Not a “fix” imo, a tight whistle from an inconsistent SEC crew & it impacted both teams.
It’s for winning and grinning.Don't have it, but 150 is insanely steep for a 6yr, 7 month aged bourbon. General rule of thumb is $10 for every year aged. Not always tried and true, but that's usually what I'm willing to spend on a bottle. OTOH it's a fairly unique mashbill and proceeds go to Vol Club. I would have hard time believing the juice itself is worth 150 though.

My friends used to give me crap about playing golf when I was in Jr High and HS……thank goodness I was ok at baseball…….Same. I never wanted to be seen playing golf.
Not that I was embarrassed to be playing golf, I just didn’t want anyone to know how bad at it I was.
That was a conference championship game. A known "inconsistent" SEC crew, should not have been assigned to officiate it. It's not fair to either team or their fans.I agree the officiating was awful, but they also called some on Florida that could be debated too.
