Why won't they look at Cooney's 3

At the media time out.
Cooney can barely walk and he goes off like that. Piss poor defense when you really need it.

Walked, moving pick, and a foul when no contact was made. On top of the push on Vasturia. Wow

This is probably one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen. Between refusing to call #5 on christmas for god knows how long, to that clusterfuck just now, this is so frustrating.

Well. 3 or 4 seed minus an ACC Tourney win...?
We just gave a great reason to the committee to put us at a 5 seed

Seemed like the entire roster except for colson had whatever sickness connaughton had last week. Not a very inspiring effort tonight. Did Beachem play at all in the second half? Vasturia gave them nothing tonight.

Painful offensive game. We cannot beat 'Cuse without hitting a respectable % from 3 to loosen that damn zone. Fun to see Auguste and Colson sharing the floor a little bit. Also finally have ESPN3 thanks to DirecTV finally getting their shit together. Bad way to christen it but glad I was able to see the game.
Agree on officiating too. Usually don't like to go there but damn there were some bad calls and thought we were getting mugged all night.

This is what I'm expecting. A lot will depend on the matchup, but ND bball has a lot in common w/ ND fball...they can''t put away inferior talent & in some cases they can't beat inferior teams. Their defense is nonexistent & if they're shooting is off, they'll lose in the first round. I remember when I though Digger Phelps was satisfied w/ just getting to the Tourney in his final years. Now I realize that his accomplishments are underappreciated considering the field was smaller. For Brey not to get to the Sweet 16 at a minimum should be a disappointment but they're so accustomed to playing below their level of competition in the Tourney under Brey that I'll be shocked if they make the Sweet 16. The sad thing is that this is probabaly the best shot Brey has had at a S16.

A loss to Louisville will lend itself to a 4 seed. Appears they will need both regular season games and at least 1 win in the ACC to get a shot at a 3 seed. RPI ranking will probably kill them.

True. They'll probably go 1-1 in the ACC tourney. The key will be who they draw in the first round of the NCAA Tourney. Outside of KY, this is anybody's tournament to win. Hell, Sparty may be an 8-9 seed...how would you like to bust your ass all year, make the Tourney & get them in the first round?

Refs really dropped the ball tonight. That "push" on Vasturia was one of the most atrocious calls I've seen in awhile... literally no contact and the ref couldn't see the play. I'm always very hard on basketball officials because I reffed basketball for about a decade. Cardinal rules of basketball officiating they teach every rookie official:
1) Do not anticipate or assume a violation.
2) Only call what you see.
3) Put yourself in the right position to make a call.
That ref failed all three of those. Put himself in a bad position, couldn't see the play, and then called something he didn't see because he assumed there was contact and not just momentum carrying him out of bounds.
Then the OBVIOUS travel coupled with an OBVIOUS moving screen was absurd on that Syracuse score.
And don't even get me started on Grant's travel in the first half (we got a makeup call immediately after though because the ref knew he missed it) or how Christmas committed about a dozen fouls to get his five.
Refs were inconsistent and missed a bunch of calls both ways... but wow, ND got burned in the last two minutes.

No doubt in my mind they'll lose to Pitino. It may go to quadruple OT, but they'll lose....something about those bastards. It's usually a hard fought game but ND usually falls short.
