I'm not liking the refs right now. They are favoring no contact at all. We've committed some fouls, but there have been at least 3 times where Richmond instigated the contact on our defensive player and got the call.

These ticky tac calls drive me crazy

 

[MountaineerWV]

They just showed the replay of Paige's 2nd foul. Never did anything. Amazing.

 

[locustwv]

Never touched the guy. Way to many fouls.

Give the NCAA credit. They've made the game unwatchable

 

[locustwv]

Can't touch anybody. Gonna hurt us in some games this year for sure. Maybe this one

 

[LowFatMilk]

You guys are great... ...how many fouls are missed by the refs ?

PLENTY...which helps our team.

Where's Original been lately? He was always good for even-handed comments on officiating. I'd love to hear his opinion.

 

[locustwv]

Nice little run. Two jams by Holton. Very nice

 

[LowFatMilk]

Imagine another game against the likes of Kentucky.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Amazing. More contact there on Williams than what they called previously against Miles on their guy, no foul, and Devin gets a "T" because of the frustration on the unevenness of the calls underneath. Our big men, mainly Williams, gets banged a lot and theirs gets slapped. Fouls on that side, very few on our side.

A good technical by a player if you ask me....officiating sucks....and I usually don't say much about the refs.

 

[GoWVU]

Couple of Cal fans near me, one of whom is openly rooting against us, and even they are now calling out the officials

Game is doubt at 6:00 min but I'm liking this team. Should be really solid in 10 games. This Williams is the real deal. BTW I'm a big Huggy bear guy but man he sounds like a maniac on TV. Even Raff is like holy cow!

 

[locustwv]

College basketball has to make changes on these fouls. This is insane

 

[locustwv]

So what time do we play tmrw?

RIP College Basketball with all of these touch fouls. I blame Jay Bilas crying around like a teenage girl having her phone taken away. He's been pushing for this past few years. More flow, he says. Free flow, he says. More like "Free Throw". It's awful, absolutely awful. Too many touch fouls, these are grown men. Let them play. Not saying you shouldn't call a foul but touch fouls need to be eliminated. Are a few more PPG worth having the game lasting extra 30 minutes and a whistle being blown every 30 seconds? Not to me.
