They generally refrain from that, so I have to believe it was as bad as it sounded. I’ve never heard of two of those guys (Clougherty or Kumpf). Not exactly an A-list crew. And then there was the official scorer who probably needs to be in another line of work, allowing the clock to run during free throws and sounding the horn during VT (of course) free throw attempt. Can anyone shed light on the play very near the end (:25 remaining) that allowed Wake to retain possession with :20 on the shot clock, from which they then made the game winning three? Zach and Mike were adamant that our guy (Schutt or Bedford, I believe) was fouled, with Zach exclaiming, “oh my, he was tackled, just grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground” while he had the ball. He then lost it out of bounds and they give the ball to Wake, no foul. That sounds incredulous. Did any of you see it differently than that? Certainly appears it should’ve been a foul called on Wake but I know that’s too much to expect when you’re on the road. We were really bad in the first ten minutes. That said, it certainly sounded like Wake got a massive number of calls their way. Cheap fouls on VT, especially Hansberry and Gurdack. I may have missed one, but I can’t recall a single time VT got a 50/50 call going its way in this game. Onward and upward. But man, this was a real opportunity to steal one on the road. Hope it doesn’t come back to bite us in March. ** Edited by HolidayInnHokie at 1/3/2026, 3:01:13 PM ** Edited by HolidayInnHokie at 1/3/2026, 3:02:25 PM
