I promised you I would post the best of the worst when it comes to the Orange Idiot's comments during the UConn/North Carolina State game. So here goes........

Referee's Favor UConn
 
Nelson-Ododa should have fouled out several times. Been allowed to come over the back

The baseline official is all for Connecticut. Unbelievable....

That looked like a foul on that made basket by NCST...

Officials really pulling through for UCONN here in the clutch.

Talk about home court refs.

So...miss that foul call on ONO, but call minimal.contact on Perez? Ok...

ONO fouled that girl as she was shooting that layup. It was clear as day! Damn refs

NC State could have won despite the officiating if they had hit layups in the first half along with one more three and if Cunane hadn't played a little soft in the paint. The first half made the difference. You have to be able to play hard on the opponents' home court.

The refs have tried to give this game to Connecticut and NCST keeps fighting both...

Such a gritty win for uconn playing with home court advantage and the refs in their pocket.

Blown 5 second call

Nelson-Ododa and Edwards cannot guard Boston and both should’ve been fouled out this game before the first overtime.

They wouldn’t have even won against Nc State except that the officials allowed ONO and Edwards about 10 fouls a piece. Both players should have fouled out in regulation.

UConn post players have always been allowed to foul without being called. See Tina Charles and Stephanie Dolson who set 57 illegal screens and committed 15 uncalled over-the-back calls a game.

Believe it not, there are more. That is way more than enough.

Home Court Advantage

Wonder how much of that 14-Final Four streak has to do with the fact they basically get a home regional every single season.

I forgot that they were playing in Bridgeport. Anywhere else, they'd be waiting until next year.

Not to make an excuse but UCONN really was helped by that crowd!

How dare Muffet say the cards are stacked in favor of UConn! UConn gets a home game as a lower seed in the Elite 8.

Insulting the Fans

That nutty red head they have showed several times is the epitome of every UCONN fan I’ve seen in my life.

Uh...that is Fudd's mom. Classy, real classy.

Lol UConn is the whitest Karen fan base this side of Kentucky

What a disgusting comment.

Insulting Geno

If you switched rosters...Wes Moore would beat Geno handily.

Feel bad for Moore. Think they win on a neutral court. Geno lucky he got Bueckers back.

Oh poor geno did hims have a hard season? Aww poor thing.


UConn cancelled games on purpose

Had Uconn not been fortunate enough to avoid those games back in January, they would have had a few more Ls, a three or four seed, and never had the reward of forcing NC State (or whoever else earned a 1 seed) to have to play them in an away game. Funny how that works. Funny how they were able to skip those games and keep their record safe. Funny, funny, funny.

DePaul game was postponed. By the time it was played, you had injured players back who made a difference in the win (by two, I believe).

In yesterday's blog I said "stats don't mean shit". I kinda said it to tell fans that will nit-pick stats to diminish the win to NOT do that. Phil, of course, didn't like that. He is a stats man. So he responded:

Hey, them's fighting words

I do take the broader point that the scheme storyline was big plays not stats.

To keep with that theme, suppose I was posting before the game and had a crystal ball and could tell you:

Each team will have the same number of fouls
Each team will have the same number of rebounds

BUT

NC State will out shoot us from the floor, hitting 48.5% of their field goal attempts
NC State will have more threes and shoot a higher percentage
NC State will hit more free throws at a significantly higher percentage, UConn will miss 7 or their first 8 attempts
NC State will win the block battle 7 to 2
NC State will have twice as many assists, 20 versus 10
NC State will score 87 points, more than any other opponent this year

How would you feel about our chances?
