• Another mix up in last night's games was the call in the Duke/MSU game in which Shelden Williams dunked it home, it cleared the cylinder and popped out. Packer and Nantz were quick to say it was a hoop as initally called by the refs, but they did a great job of backtracking once the refs took the 2 points off the board. I hate Packer.

  • I thought it was a hoop but Duke's TO's cost them the game not that call. How about the clock oerator not starting the clock on the inbound at the end of the 1st half!!! Unreal. At least the refs got that call right. It looks like A-10 teams aren't the only ones w/ refing problems. (NT) -- bfg, Sat March 26, 2005 11:16:52
    • I've never seen a Duke team committ so many turnovers like that. You are right bfg, that is what cost them the game. They may have had some sloppy ballhandling and crappy passing, but I think the refs let a lot go. Ewing and Redick were getting hacked a lot of those steals. It was weird to see Duke not get the calls like they usually do. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Sat March 26, 2005 11:31:10
      • you're right about the refs. I thought it was a pretty physical game and the refs let alot go. That being said, until the final 2 mins when Duke started to foul, the refs had called 3-4 more PFs on MSU than on Duke. (NT) -- bfg, Sat March 26, 2005 11:42:22
    • Just so you know one of the officials in that game was none other than the A-10's own Reggie Greenwood. (NT) -- J92, Sat March 26, 2005 13:19:26

• I suggest you start rooting for Nova , Georgetown and any other Catholic university that is in the NCAA tournament. They are similar to Fordham in many, many ways. There is a bigger picture her than your personal feelings about coaches or other secondary considerations. Fordham's administrators and Board are watching the Catholic school's progress in the NCAA's and the NIT, and it affects the future support of our program. Let's keep our eye on the big picture, not the small one. (NT) -- Rambacker, Sat March 26, 2005 21:44:06
  • Screw them. I've never liked 'Nova or BC and I will never root for them. I'l happy to root for HC when they make it, Gonzaga, and the Catholic schools from the A-10 but not Nova or BC. (NT) -- bfg, Sun March 27, 2005 13:10:30
    • Each to their own. I know who I'm rooting for and it has to do with Fordham's future, not my personal biases. (NT) -- Rambacker, Sun March 27, 2005 16:06:39
      • I find that to be a very difficult way to root. I often go into a game thinking I am going to root for a certain team b/c it is better for Fordham, a pick I have made in my NCAA pool or some other personal reason and later find that I wind up rooting for the other team. It happened recently in the HC vs. St. Joe's game in the NIT. It would be better for FU to have an A-10 team do well, but next thing you know HC made a run and I noticed that I was rooting them on. I root with my heart and when it coincides with my mind great, but that is not always the case. (NT) -- JóDete93, Mon March 28, 2005 00:03:21
        • I find that happening to me sometimes too, but I've actually trained myself to root for the team I think will help Fordham if they win. But beyond rooting for an A-10 or Catholic school , it doesn't become much of a deal. I'm so used to rooting that way, I don't even notice it anymore. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon March 28, 2005 09:17:04
          • I tend to view all of college sports as being just six degrees of separation from Fordham. I care about teams to the extent they have any bearing on Fordham and it's future. All other teams and conferences are merely interesting but no relevant, to me at least. (NT) -- DamnRam, Mon March 28, 2005 21:30:57
            • We're on the same page on that one. (NT) -- Rambacker, Fri April 01, 2005 10:02:24
