ACC Tournament: unc 79, VPI 76

**Cormac** · 03-13-2009, 01:31 PM

Dear NCAA tournament refs,

Please do not bail out Hanstravel like your ACC counterparts.

Thank you,
-Every non-unc fan

This is awful. I'm only 24, so my frame of reference is pretty small, but I have never seen calls like this favor a "star" player except in the NBA. Awful to watch. And I don't even like Va Tech in the slightest.

Q: When is a clean block/tie up not a clean block/tie up?
A: When it's done to Tyler Hansbrough. Then it's a foul.

i cringe every time i pump my fist when they score (VPI)... too bad i can't cheer for the meteor

in all fairness... they DID call one in the first half that i just KNEW would be called a foul... but then they got scolded at halftime probably so it's all done now.

Tech handing this one away just like they did a year ago in Charlotte.

Goodnight, Hokie Hi.

**jjasper0729** · 03-13-2009, 01:45 PM

two guys on the bench with stuipd 4th fouls

**jjasper0729** · 03-13-2009, 01:50 PM

I thought for sure they were giong to call that flop as a charge on ADV

**Cameron** · 03-13-2009, 01:50 PM

Carolina has this game in the bag. The Heels will determine the winner here..

**jv001** · 03-13-2009, 01:51 PM

VT by 3 and ball. Didn't think VT was going to shoot a FT in the 2nd half. Why do people say Duke get's all the calls. Just look at unc and Wake. Go Duke!

HOLY CRAP!

a whole SECOND half with 3 team fouls

that's almost as bad as their first half with GT when they had a total of ONE

**jdj4duke** · 03-13-2009, 01:57 PM

If I were a Hokie fan (which I guess I am today) my head would be exploding.

2nd half fouls on UNC 3; on VT 9

**jdj4duke** · 03-13-2009, 02:00 PM

Criminal jump ball. This is embarrassing for the conference

**jjasper0729** · 03-13-2009, 02:00 PM

OH MY GOD!!!

ONE HAND and he gets a jump ball and NO FOUL?

**Cormac** · 03-13-2009, 02:00 PM

Boy, that was a mugging. Especially considering he was TRYING to foul again.... ugh

**jjasper0729** · 03-13-2009, 02:01 PM

this second half has been almost blatant favoritism... they'll say it's not but good grief. Seth has every right to get ticked after that play

**DukieInKansas** · 03-13-2009, 02:04 PM

What is really annoying about that tie up that gave the ball to UNC was that the pass wasn't to the guy that got tied up. I thought he intercepted the pass to the player on the perimeter.

**Newton_14** · 03-13-2009, 02:04 PM

I am so tired of watching this. Thank God his career is almost over. Hanstravel walks on the basket that gives the holes the lead, then fouls on purpose on the deciding play of the game and the unc refs call a jump ball that gives their team the ball back.

Unfrickin believable..

Hogwash.

The ACC should be embarrassed to allow crap like that to happen.

**jv001** · 03-13-2009, 02:05 PM

VA Tech played a good game, but hard to win if _______________________
___________. Fill in the blanks. Go Duke!

**jjasper0729** · 03-13-2009, 02:06 PM

I thought the same thing DIK... it was supposed to go back out to the perimeter.

and i'm so sick i want to throw up. that was so blatantly bad.
