so it should match history?

The last 2 games before @SU (also away) they only shot 7 FT's in each. Yes, you have to go way back to Elon at home in November to find another single digit attempt game. Sometimes there are highs and sometimes there are lows. Expecting everything to always look average isn't reasonable. I'm certainly not saying officials are infallible or incapable of bias, but there seems to be a lot of "I don't like officiating, so when I see numbers that look weird, I will explain it with 'bad officiating'" instead of allowing for the fact that there's variability in things like fouling. Saying it's a "joke" that NCSU takes 12 fewer FT's than SU is just weird to me. ** Edited by Pylons at 2/15/2023, 3:28:16 PM

You love to whine about the refs,**
NativeBurger • 02/14/23 10:29 PM ET
He was obviously pulling for NCSU.**
Hokie535 • 02/15/23 07:21 AM ET
Yes he does. Relentless **
VintonHokies • 02/15/23 05:22 AM ET
Actually I don’t. I like to see high quality games not ruined in the last
hokiepro • 02/14/23 10:39 PM ET
that's their pay 3000 a game? Wow I had no idea it was that much! **
VT Pez4Life • 02/15/23 12:52 PM ET
Yup. That's why you see the same faces night after night. The money is so
UEMcGill • 02/15/23 03:57 PM ET
Except your *****ing is not at all limited to that scenario
Pylons • 02/15/23 09:15 AM ET
Correct**

Burns turned to shoot & Edwards of Cuse stuck his chest FORWARD into
hokiepro • 02/14/23 09:07 PM ET
I thought that they made the right call.**
IB4TECH • 02/14/23 10:11 PM ET
Replay showed Burns stopped, Edwards moved into him and then fell back **
hokiepro • 02/14/23 10:33 PM ET
I double checked and I agree.**
IB4TECH • 02/15/23 01:55 PM ET
NC State 3/5 from FT line, 12 fewer attempts. Total joke.
HolidayInnHokie • 02/14/23 09:07 PM ET
Is it not possible for one team to foul that much more than the other?
Pylons • 02/15/23 11:49 AM ET
Yes that’s possible.; no it shouldn’t exactly nor close to equal

The officiating is dictating too many games **
hokiepro • 02/14/23 09:13 PM ET
Yep fixed it in my post **
