For anyone watching this game, help out those of us who have to pretend we're working and report. I'd rather make this its own thread and keep the "non-Duke ACC games" thread for non-in-game discussions.
ESPN says VPI up 18-13 about halfway through the first.
20-13 VT leading UNC with 9:30 remaining. Anywhere to watch this online?
Just watching the gamecast on ESPN (damn work!) but I certainly wouldn't be surprised by a VT win here. UNC without Lawson is just a very different team. That's not a knock on UNC, more of a credit to Lawson. I think it would be like Duke playing without Singler. I know they have 2 backups in Frasor and Drew but it's such a difference. Duke could much easier absorb a loss in the backcourt while UNC could much easier absorb a loss in the frontcourt (Zeller and Davis could fill in better for Hansbrough than Frasor and Drew can fill in for Lawson).
Did anyone see the charge call on Vesaillo (I have no idea how to spell that) while the carolina defender was jumping in the air? That may have been the worst call I have ever seen, funny thing is, Raycom did not show one replay:rolleyes:
Vasallo on the bench kills this team...
Unc up 43-42 at the half. Without watching the game I gotta believe that pace facors unc.
Justin Watts got in the game for UNC? Was there an ebola virus outbreak or something?
no they didn't, but "legally" a defensive player CAN jump as long as 1) he has established defensive position prior and 2) jumps ONLY vertically.Quote:

also.. who got the foul at the end of the half when thompson went to the line for VPI? the announcers on ESPN never said.
...thus confirming it's Mike Patrick...Quote:

Yes I saw it too, and the room full of unc-ch fans I was watching with thought it to be the correct call obviously. I said, in my 25+ years of watching basketball, I have never seen a charge called when the defensive player left his feet in an attempt to block the shot. Probably one of the worst, most blatent biased calls I've ever seen in my life.Quote:

Roy just did a Gary impersonation...gritty teeth, yelling at the bench and I may have seen a bead or two of sweat!
54-53 with 14:21 left...
allen has four now... that was a bad call...
This officiating is a joke. Hansbrough gets breathed on it a foul.
3rd on Allen hand on ball but foul called. 4th just not smart play by Allen. Go Duke!
i thought seth was going to get T-ed up on the one before... it's like they are anticipating contact and blow the whistle then HAVE to call something
