    I don't think anybody has ever said UNC never gets any calls. You really need to let the season go.

    One travelling call?!?
    Did you watch the whole video? The Villanova players are even smart enough to say that the game didn't come down to that one call.
    Obviously you've never played basketball in any kind of organized fashion. The refs miss calls all the time. Luckily they get more right than they get wrong. It's part of the game. The part I do have a problem with is games that are obviously called a certain way.

    But whatever - get ready for next year.

    and actually the refs didn't "miss" that call. He did travel. Two steps is TRAVELLING. Even the announcer on the video counted them out. "one, two". Refs call two step travels all the time, especially when it happens in the open court, away from the basket. Of course they often let them take two steps when driving to the hoop, but this time the ref called it.

    Should he have "let them play?". Maybe - but the fact is the kid travelled and the ref called it.

    How the fuck wydd can equate a correct call (inconsistent or not) with a blatant missed call (see exhibit A below once again) is ridiculous.

    Watched the video a few times, and Wossa you are right, if you watch when his last dribble was, it was a travel. He dribbled, two stepsoutside the lane, then took the two steps in the lane.

    The first two steps when you watch at normal speed seem to almost happen with the dribble, but in fact happen after the dribble.

    So according to this, he did take one step too many.

    walmart tarheel fans like wossa and UNCfever are the only ones who think that was a travel. any rational observer has said it wasn't.

    If you focus on more than just the last two steps, you will see it was a travel. I thought it was a travel at first, even after watching it several times.

    But then focused on the dribble instead. It was a travel plain and simple, but its not like you and your bandwagon BE self would look at it unbiased either.

    A "fan" of an entire conference? that'd be a first, but if I was, I'd be an Eddie's Lakeside Bar, Grille & Coin-operated Laundry Atlantic 10 fan, fwimfw

    the BFE is a side gig, aimed solely at getting under the skin of goober tarheel fans like UNCfever and his dim-witted cohorts.
