Ref rally started it…& we helped
From the time we took lead 65-50, the refs called 5 consecutive questionable fouls on VT in 1:48 to 1) give GT 8 FT, they made 7 2) Three consecutive calls vs Lawal in :45 took him from 2 fouls to out
Spread was 9.5, we led by 15; after Ref rally it was 8 and we’d lost our best rebounder & shot blocker. Might want to check those refs’ phone records and acquaintances’ betting numbers. Line dropped a full point on Gameday.
#RefRally is a thing. Stoudamire knows it and his team just barrels down the lane into contact to either score or get fouled. Lots of teams do this but refs suddenly start rewarding reckless out of control drives with FTs to the trailing team
It’s maddening & helps fuel THIS

It doesn’t fit the narrative that only bad calls go against us.**

Officials are right most of the time if you know what to watch for.**
