I'm watching. Anyone else?

I've only seen the ridiculous bench-dancing once this season, and I'm already disgusted by it. It was old last year, and wow, hard to believe, it's old this year as well.

Within the first few seconds, Hansbrough took a shot to the face. Sean McDonough commented later on "Hansbrough may want that mask back that he wore once upon a time." Heh. :cool:

Hans is dishing out as many elbows as he is receiving.

...and Hansbrough's already getting away with murder.

And Jay Bilas-Bias, sigh. :(

Just watch Hansbrough elbow a guy three times in the face then that guy got called for a foul. Then Jay Bilas explained that it's OK because earlier the other guy caught Tyler with an elbow. Hansbrough is going to have a tough time someday when he's not getting the benefit of the doubt.

I wonder if one of the elbows broke the kid's nose if TH gets tossed and suspended for a game (sarcasm).

Why, that would never happen. :rolleyes:

Perhaps the Oregon player would get suspended for headbutting TH's elbow.

Ever since I was young I've hated Carolina's bench antics, football and basketball. I'm pretty sure they recruit the scrubs not for playing ability but for how well they can jump up and down while waving a towel at the same time. If they can do it in unison, they get a front row seat in hell.

"Oregon fans thought he traveled, but a foul called against the Ducks"

Ahh, I'll miss those calls when he's gone.

...he will most likely get his clock cleaned if he tries that crap.

Man, Oregon has some serious athletes but they are totally out of control. BTW, has anyone noticed that Mike Kitts, the official, is way too slow for the game at this point.

Yeah, but whoever thought up the white name lettering on a white jersey needs to be given the Clockwork Orange treatment of Danny Green's best dancing moves.

I saw enough when beaker was on the baseline and jumped up....Oregon slaps the ball free but *whistle*, it's a foul....go take some FT's. Let's hope they are taken out in the next game.

Jay Bilas appears to have more fun announcing Carolina Games than other schools. I admit he is very informed, but I have Bilas fatigue.

Will most of the country turn against UNC and Hansborough because of the overexposure and butt-smooching from announcers this year in the same way they did with Redick and Duke in 2006? Or is that just a Duke phenomenon?

I really do get tired of watching Hansborough flail and get the calls undeservedly so often.

One of the main reasons I can't stand Handfoul is the way he gets calls constantly. I watched the UNC-Ore game for about 5 minutes. Saw HansOhMyNose come in and get call after call and just turned it off before I got pissed. I did see and hear the Lawson lowering the shoulder call and see the call gifted to Hanstravel mentioned above when the ball was knocked from his hand. There are two things I don't understand. First is why the refs help him so much and second, why we have to see a closeup of 'ol HansBugEye during every single break in the action.

Now if you'll excuse me, this typing has made me tired or someone I was typing against just did something good so I'll have to take an unofficial timeout by losing a contact and resting while people look for it.

Huh?

If Oregon would have stopped shooting 35 foot shots they might have been in the game. That was ridiculous. UK, Oregon, it's a shame to see how they have gone down. Can't wait to see a well coached team like Notre Dame take the court against UNC, should be interesting.

Just remember, kids, the ref bias for NC doesn't really start until Carolina gets into ACC play. What we witnessed last night was the out-of-conference, out-of-state Carolina bias, which is an order of magnitude less profound than the in-conference, in-state bias we'll be enjoying starting in January. Cheers!

I don't know which is worse, watching Hansbrough or all the whining about Hansbrough. Change the the names and schools and I could be on IC a few years back reading about JJ. :o

Last night's game Hanscheater had 16 points. 12 of them were from the line. When JJ padded his stats from the line it was often late in games when the other team was fouling and we'd give JJ the ball to dribble until he got fouled. With Hansblahblah, the difference is that he's not really getting fouled.

He did say that they that if they are going to call it on one guy, they should call it on the other.

Amen. I think the majority of his points so far this year are from the line. Clearly Hans is a strong player who creats a lot of his own opportunities through effort and hustle...but he gets a BIG benefit from his uniform and his NPOY status, IMHO.

I find it hard to believe that any rational fan believes Hansbrough doesn't get fouled, and a lot. Now, that he gets away with some offensive fouls on the other end with his bull in the china shop offense, that's a legit argument for sure.

But sometimes it just gets frustrating to actually come to this board hoping for intelligent basketball and find a thread full of childish name calling and unbelievably biased observation.

We're all fans, so we're all biased. But this sort of thread starts approaching TDD and IC in nature.

I know. I know. The cure for that is to not read the thread! True enough. I just hope the board doesn't get like the scout/rival boards and there are no threads except this sort.

Actually, I'll tell you what's even worse. Reading all the relentlessly unfunny nicknames for him people make up on this board.

I'll reword just for you. Thanks for the thinly veiled name calling, BTW. Hansblahbalh (and I LOVE hacking his name, I'm a Duke fan, I hate this guy) does get fouled and those fouls are called often and he gets to the line. Most often, when there's a questionable call he gets to the line. He's not a great defender who gets bailed out by the refs who call charges anytime he get breathed on and he gets to the line. He creates a lot of contact....and when he creates contact, he gets to the line. When someone blocks his shot, he gets to the line. When he hammers someone to create space for his shot, he gets to the line. During a Duke game I marked down everytime where was a call that was just bad or could have gone either way where Hansbeaker was involved. At the end of the game, Hansgoogleeye was at +17. In one game 17 times he was given the benefit of the doubt or benefited from a blatant bad call. So yes, he gets fouled, saying he doesn't is hyperbole. His opponents do NOT get to play the game on equal terms and I don't appreciate the bias.

Obviously, I don't mind an occasional thread like this. I agree that 100% that I don't want to come on here and read these types of threads all the time. I try to avoid this type of thread but sometimes it just gets frustrating to actually try to watch a game hoping for well called basketball and find a game full of ridiculous and unbelievably biased officiating.

who cares about the fouls - I'm furious over the intentional elbows he threw at that kids face. Remember the swipe he took at costner two years ago? How come a white player can't be a thug?

White player = gritty, heart
Black player = thug

Get with the program (http://www.sportsline.com/columns/story/10700001).


And lord knows, we've had some guys that have benefited from the double-standard as well. Let's just hope Kyle is here in a couple of seasons as the next "gritty" superstar/NPOY.
