I don't give a shit about Kevin Jones and his should have been technical. Did the refs blow it? Yes. Should it have been a tech? Yes. But the Bearcats shouldn't have let the game get to the point where something like that matters. Poor execution in half court defense killed UC all day. Kevin Jones and Deniz Kilicli eviscerated the defense, be it man or zone with great passing and off ball cutting. That is the biggest reason why UC lost.
The refs played their part, blowing a ton of calls but if I can paraphrase Jimmy Johnson here you can't let the game come down to the refs when you are playing in Morgantown. There is a long a proud history of teams getting robbed of games in Morgantown, right Louisville? More disappointed that the game came down to so many fluky bounces of the ball that went West Virginia's way. Im over it, lets move on to Cuse.

I see your point Matt
and I hardly ever post here, but this pisses me off to no end, we should have been celebrating after the “Tech” instead of playing an extra 5:00 minutes, even if we didn’t execute on every play, the refs should have made the call…there was STILL time on the clock…period.
personally
I don’t want to see Marvin fired, I want him to be promoted to G.M. while handing the reigns over to Zimmer as head coach and hiring Jack Del Rio as Defensive Coordinator. Who Dey!!!

Missed Oppotunity
I don’t care so much about the refs missing the called timeout by Kevin Jones. UC was down 1 with the ball coming out of the timeout and turned it over. Also, UC missed quite a few layups, Dixon’s at the end of regulation the most noteworthy, that perhaps cost them a win. I felt coming into this stretch @UConn, @WVU, Syracuse and @Rutgers that if UC went 2-2 that would be good. They still have a chance to do that. An overtime loss at West Virginia is disappointing but not alarming.

Agree with your last point
I obviously don’t like the Cats letting a quality road win slip away. But this isn’t a game that is really going to hurt UC’s tournament resume. It goes in the quality loss column
don't get me wrong
I completely agree, but to have the game ripped away from you by horrible officiating is hard to swallow, all those damn voters and writers who don’t watch the games aren’t going to know what happened, they will simply see the final score and assume W.V. is the better team, those 4 and 5 star recruits will do the same, these kind of games really hurt Cincy.

UC should be ranked in the next polls. If they aren’t I will gladly join you in your quest against the media. Quests against the media are like my heroin
ok Matt
17 votes by the writers and 0 yep, big fat 0 by the coaches, now, again how’s that poor officiating working for us…let the quest begin

There was nothing "ripped" away, the officiating was poor the whole way around and if you want to go
Tit for tat, the officials made the right call to end regulation. The explanation makes perfect sense and as much as I hate to say it we lucked out from them not seeing what should have been painfully obvious. None of your team fouled, you had just as much of a chance to win that game if your team is better and it different happen. Keep playing hard, I thoughtvit was a great game and not just because my team came out on the winning end.
terrible
20 votes in the ap and 4 in the coaches, can gaurantee if they would have won at WV, which essentially they did – refs, We would be between 20 and 25th
