... .... ...... out darn spot

It's time to just replace both the Head Coach & the AD, yes, for one or both of them have obviously p-ed off most of the refs that call their ACC games, for sure. It's beyond explanation, corruption might be an explanation, or hate, but regardless it's time to make these changes for the good of the program, for if the Comish can't or won't do anything about the officiating, as poor as it is, then we must simply get the ill will out of our own house, once and for ' all, yes!

Yes, I'm not saying that DUKE didn't play a great game, for they obviously did, and I'm not necessarily blaming the refs for the loss, but when the officiating is that bad it shapes the way a game is played, it can affect the outcome by doing so, inherently. The amount of phantom fouls called against N. C. STATE last night begs for an explanation, the only explanation that I can come up with is corruption, and hate, sorry, but that's just the way it is, sadly.

RE: ... .... ...... out darn spot

^Your a loser, ALWAYS state fans b*tchin about the refs. Give it a rest dude. Your guys played lathargic defense, and it cost them alot of fouls. Not the refs fault. Heck, before the game even started one of the announcers even said that state has to stop worrying about every call and complainig about it to no end, like they have been doing the last couple weeks. The lack of effort in the first ten minutes or so was ALL on the players. If you cant get up for a game at Cameron, well, makes it seem you dont really care. There is no corrupion, there is no conspiracy. They were out hustled and out played the entire first half, and the help defense was slow, creating alot of the tacky fouls that a team with as little depth as state cannot afford. Deal with it.

... take off your blinders, yes, DUKE did play outstanding b-ball, they were quite accurate with the three pointer, especially in the first half, but STATE did hustle, they gave great effort, they came back to make it close, down to six points in the second half, incredibly, despite the officiating, and that' my point exactly! STATE would have had a much better chance of winning last night if the bogus phantom, no touch, fouls had not been called against them!

RE: ... .... ...... out darn spot

Despite the officiating? Wow. State adjusted to defend the three and Duke went down low to Plumlee, for 30. They really had no answer and only started clawing back when Duke started runnig the shot clock out, something I hate. The officials cant make your team play cleaner Def. BTW, they cut it to 8, not 6, but immediately made another stupid foul and Duke regained all the momentum. Your attitude seems to be the pervailing attitude on the state squad...waa waa waa the refs are out to get us waaa, so what your saying is, that EVERY time ANY team in the country has considerably more free throws than their oppoenet that the fix is in? Or that this ONLY happens to state, give it a rest dude, sounds dumb.

... if you want to see the light of truth, then you must remove the dark blue shades.

RE: ... .... ...... out darn spot

I was at the game, State looked so lathargic the first half, it was ridiculous. No will or energy whatsoever. That is how you rack uo fouls, not some underground conspiracy against a team that has not been relevant in 30 years, like i said, it sounds dumb when you say out loud.

... at the game, eh, then watch the game film, and you'll see.

RE: ... .... ...... out darn spot

Give it a rest, even your fellow wolfies are not complaining about the refs today. Heck, even TBK has not blamed them and he is the king of ref conspiracy. Your guys couldnt hit water from a boat last night, they had zero energy in the first, and there lack of defensive intensity coupled with Dukes game plan to attack and create fouls totally threw state off.

... many of DUKE's three pointers were defended, they were just incredibly hot shots, yes, as I've recognized, and Plumlee did his thing quite well inside, no doubt, but as STATE came on in the game, it was clear that the no touch fouls called against them, numerous times, would be the game changer, the decider, and that's just not the way it should be. We in the ACC deserve better, the officiating is wack, it's out of kilter, it's biased, and obviously fraught with corruption at it's core!
