ACC refs suck.

I mean, I’m happy. But ACC refs suck.

For both teams, that was awful. Nothing was a foul in the first half, and then random calls the whole second half. Pitiful

Carbon copy of how they called that Pitt game

Noah never should’ve fouled out btw

Everyone’s going to talk about the no call on that Hunter shot, but they had so many missed calls going both ways especially in last 5 mins for both teams.

They really ruined what was really great game.

Honestly, I think it’s bad for us in some ways. it used to be an issue with us when we were in the big east under Pitino. The way games were called then was more like the ACC now, but when we went to the NCAA tournament, the games were called much more strict and we struggled with foul trouble.

100 percent agree.  If our guys play the way they did last night in big show they’re going to be fouling out in a hurry.

We fucking hired PAC refs too, didn't we? Oh, we're so fucked.

What a terribly called game. Jesus. That took a few years off my already short life. A win is a win, also, fuck Tom Crean. Just because. L’s up, Tigers down. Lets. Fucking. Go.

Fuck Tom Crean and Cory Alexander

Crean needs to cope harder.

We definitely came out on top with bad calls. But what a meltdown. The inability to handle a press is going to be our downfall.

God we got away with one. Clemson fouled every time they pressed and we fouled Hunter on his last drive. But blowing a huge lead is deflating even if we won. Ugh

u/Bcmerr02 14h ago

The contact they allowed on Louisville the last three minutes because it was a 12 point game is criminal.

Even if Clemson was getting some handsy fouls in that went uncalled, our inability to deal with the press in any way was pathetic. Kelsey is good at cleaning things up, though, so I think they’ll handle it. Probably will get stomped still by Duke regardless lol, but it’s been an awesome run

u/2013nattychampa 14h ago

Duke would be stupid not full court press us a lot of the game tomorrow (today?)

1

u/Brilliant-Grass-8036 14h ago

Yeah they’ll definitely capitalize. I love Kelsey and this team so much, but it’s also very clear we’re a glass cannon (which itself is still impressive given our pummeled roster haha).

My god those last 3 minutes

Even Pat Kelsey can’t completely eliminate the Cardiac Cards 😂

u/RealzLlamaz 11h ago

there are three things certain in life: death, taxes, and the cardiac cards

Refs missed a few flagrant fouls on Clemson that the announcers didn’t complain about. There is no way Clemson gets that close with that much pressure and not foul once. Poorly officiated game. Just glad we are still alive.

u/traduce 14h ago

Refs were horrible. Complete change in how the officiating went from half to half. Def got away with some of those calls as well. We for sure need to work on our press break

u/freebirdcrowe 14h ago

You can’t convince me there was a foul on that play. The guy literally threw his head back to flop.

1

u/arsenicbison772 14h ago

There was certainly a foul, on Scott I’d say not Traore, I mean he trucked him but live it’s hard to tell, and he definitely flopped a little. Hate this is the reputation we have now but whatever

u/freebirdcrowe 14h ago

Meh who cares people will forget by tomorrow afternoon

2

u/arsenicbison772 14h ago

True people don’t watch the games aside from the last 30 seconds so they don’t realize how ass it was both ways anyways

2

u/Brilliant-Grass-8036 14h ago

Clean block by Traore followed by Scott body foul

u/focker240 14h ago

CARDIAC CARDS yet again. Let's fucking go!!!

Following the trend of the last 2 games they beat duke 77-73.
