You know how the NCAA just loves ACC basketball....
Go Red Raiders!!!!!

Will the Refs give the game to UVA over Texas Tech?
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
Why does USC lag so far behind UF and UGA academically, and even farther behind UNC and UVA. I would welcome thoughtful insight into this issue, and not lashing out based on bigotry, jealously, and feelings of inferiority.
I suggest one reason is the interface those states have had for various reasons with more progressive Northern states.
UNC? Academics? Is this a serious question?
Yes they been highly rated, but now that the veil has been lifted on what “The Carolina Way” really means, that institution never again gets to claim academic superiority over any school. They must wear a scarlet “F” on their baby blue sweaters henceforth. F = Fraud
The Refs will do all they can to assure a UVA win... it will be even obvious to the Pro-ACC announcers.. Lord, I hate everything ACC..
You guys are so sensitive. My personal opinion is that the refs won’t matter. TT will win this game by 6.
They can matter, Early foul trouble on Texas Tech is inevitable..
UVA has been lucky and gotten a break or two, no doubt. But if, either, Auburn or Purdue hit the second end at the stripe UVA is likely gone.
Oregon not being able to throw the ball into the ocean over the last 8 minutes of the regional semi-final helped as well. They better win it all and take advantage because this is one of the luckiest title runs I've ever seen.
If the opportunity presents itself, you can bet the farm AND the house in town that the ACC team will get the call that will send UVA to the foul line to make the shot(s) to win the game.
That is exactly why refs will give UVA every little Ticky Tack touching of a UVA ACC Player, because they KNOW that ACC players are the best EVER!
UNC's academic reputation was debunked by the fake classes that all its graduates took advantage of. So I would value a USC degree over anything handed out in Chapel Hill since the 80s.
SC was on part with both prior to Civil War. You may have heard that this area made out poorly in its aftermath
Its crazy. For years I've been hearing about Virginia is the #1 team, Virginia this and Virginia that. This mofo's have never made it to FF or championship game until now, and the refs had to help them get there. Seem's slightly over hyped - especially after what happened in the 1st round last year.
Go Texas Tech. Beat them with a double digit score so that they still lose no matter how much the refs interfere.

No - you see the difference between USC and TT is that TT is aggressive but disciplined on defense - we are not. They had clean blocks in the game against MSU...we would just maul the shooter. There is a difference, and the refs have a job to do...

I picked Texas Tech to win the whole thing in the beginning of the bracket and still think they will. Refs always have an effect on games but its the players that either make the plays or not. All the whining on this or any other board will not have any effect except on the poor miserable souls doing the whining. It refs were so favorable to the ACC, please tell me where are Duke and UNC hanging around right now?
If the NCAA were choreographing the tournament they would not have these two relative unknowns playing in the final with much poorer money coming in than if Zion or UNC or Tom Izzo were there. If you have to use that kind of excuse for losing a game of basketball, you have a lifetime of grief to look forward to. I think the refs were correct in all the game ending critical calls so far. Maybe they should have been more consistent, but that has always been a problem and will not change as long as we have humans doing the job.
Think about what the games would be like if the players took time to fret about a bad call like so many fans do.

hahahaha great calls so far in here. 3x more fouls 2x more ft's even though more than 50% of shots coming from 3.
If you think Jim Nantz was rooting for UVA you weren't paying attention. He kept exclaiming "No foul . . . .?" whenever UVA made a good defensive play. And it was more than just that. I think it's safe to say that Nantz is a Duke/UNC fan, not an ACC fan.
