We might have had a lead if not for the first half calls, UNC may not have been in position to make the plays. Those calls still count and determined the outcome, it set the stage for what did happen.
I’d rather stick with what actually happened. We had a chance and dropped the ball. That doesn’t excuse the incompetence on display in that first half, but it comes off as trying to blame someone else for your own shortcomings.

What actually happened? So the bad calls didn’t happen and they didn’t impact the outcome? Your version ignores reality in favor of promoting blind sportsmanship even when you get ripped off. I’m never impressed when people pretend it was a fair game just to make themselves look better. It happened whether you admit it or not.

Travis has the handles and potential as a shooter to at least hit 34%. They could be a similar duo to Nova last year with Paschell and Spellman. Better duo talent but not as good shooter since Spellman shot over 40% if I’m not mistaken. Also remember UNC won it with Meeks and Hicks down low and neither of them could stretch the floor. If you use them the right way (coaching) things could work out very well.

Maybe he has the ability to shoot at least 34% but as far as I can tell he took none before last year and took a few and ended up below 30% and his free throw isn't great.

I guess I'm saying I wouldn't say it is reasonable to pencil him in for being a stretch big or anything.

He seems to be a nice classic power forward which is why he is here instead of a lottery or even a first round location. His game is old school.

But I believe he wants to continue to expand his game, and to show it @thebiggeststage in college. That's why he is here. I believe he'll shoot a lot.more three than last year.

I guess I don’t have a persecution complex like most people on here. I’m not denying anything, you’re the one fantasizing about what could have possibly happened if something had gone differently. I choose to move on. Outside of venting there is no reason to continuously bring it up.

Well, I think you are stupid. See how this works?

I can say this to you. I was more right about last years team than you were. You lose the debate when you resort to name calling.
The difference is you have gone to great lengths to prove it over and over again. Either that or you’re a dick trying to upset people.

Okay...whatever you say.

No you have the oblivious complexion, in which every complaint about calls is dismissed entirely as sour grapes. Some do complain too much but there are times when it’s legit, I don’t blame every loss on officiating. If I couldn’t figure it out then I’d move on too.
