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 FROM X WHAT A NIGHT OF COMEBACKS! 🤯 🏀 Michigan State trailed by 12 and won 🏀 Michigan trailed by 11 and won 🏀 Arkansas trailed by 13 and won 🏀 Saint Louis trailed by 15 and won 🏀 Virginia trailed by 19 and won ** Edited by hokiepro at 1/28/2026, 12:29:19 AM ** Edited by hokiepro at 1/28/2026, 7:37:34 AM

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

Does this even things up in the Syracuse game when we shot 36 FTs to

That was throughout the gane and we did do a better job there of attacking

Exactly. I just got home and said the same thing while at the game. #12

He got called for the foul because of a trip.

Not unlike a trip by GT around the middle of the court earlier that was no

Wasnt sure if he just stepped on Tobi's shoe. **

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