Blatant foul. Just wow. 

[CamWhoaaCam]

Even the Dukie Jay Will admitted he was fouled.

 

Refs can really ruin a game man. Just pathetic.

We played like poo and they played by far their best game of the year but we still got fuged.

Davis is just too young for that call

Jersey is too light of a shade of blue evidently.

I love seeing highly ranked teams going down in any sport, but not due to the refs. On replay, it was an obvious missed call.

TV Teddy, man. I have no idea how he's maintained a job. But the ACC consistently has the worst refs in the game, basketball and football alike.

A teaching moment for everyone in Carolina blue that you can’t count on the refs to bail you out.
 

Yes, that was a very suspiciously officiated game and Davis was fouled at the end but they of all people should know the refs will fug you if given the chance. Every home team has a big advantage with biased officiating. 
 

learn from it and use it as fuel for Saturday.

They also missed a travel on a made three and the Tech PG was pushing off left and right. He probably extended the arm on his final lay up but I didn’t watch the replay I was so shocked they didn’t call a foul on Davis. 
 

ACC road games are tough because of the home team has a pulse and shows up big the refs are going to feed in to the crowd and want to do something that gets the fans excited. 
 

I would hope UNC at the very least gets that called at home like Duke did on Saturday. 

[Shocker]

Duke gets the phantom foul call and UNC doesn’t get the obvious foul call.  Hmm

This was the biggest missed call in my opinion. Almost every player pushes off when they drive to the basket, so those are whatever.

True on the drives. Tough to say what the worst call was.

The missed travel allowed hot/lucky GT to bank in a three. So certainly a big missed call. But that’s just how it is sometimes. They made their shots. We didn’t.  So while the missed foul at the end of the game certainly was huge and we likely win if it was called, we can’t say we deserved to win with how we played. 

At the end of the day, I think what all fans want is some damn consistency from the refs. You see a crazy amount of variance not just game to game but within a single game itself. How are the players supposed to know how aggressively they can defend?  Why are hand checks called and then the next play a defender allowed to body a driver putting up a layup without a call? I see this every single game for both teams  it’s not just a UNC thing.

For example, I think at least two or three of the fouls against Cadeau were BS. He’s got to be more disciplined with reaching in. His last two were of that variety, one when a GT guard was driving the basket and was legit a foul as he reached around the back not just at the ball, and the other way out on the perimeter. That latter one I think was BS. May have been a letter of the law hand check, but when the refs are allowing defenders to bump dribblers and impede their path, I think it’s ridiculous to call this sort of thing in the interest of “freedom of movement.” I don’t recall all three of the other fouls exactly, but they were in the paint after getting backed down and I think he did a really good job of just keeping his hands straight up to contest the shot. A lot is being made of his body language afterward and their certainly is a pattern of foul trouble so maybe I’m wrong and he is doing something that makes the refs call these sorts of fouls, but I honestly feel for the kid because this is not the first game I’ve walked away from thinking WTF is he supposed to do on plays like this and that he hasn’t been fouling on them.

lol man... it was literally the same play as the end of Duke/Clemson. I wonder if all the backlash after that caused the refs to hesitate on blowing it at the end of GT/UNC.
