BOO BLEEPING HOO

Sorry Nova Nation, but you don't know disappointment.

First, I want to personally thank the refs for not allowing Nova a chance at even getting on the bubble... wouldn't want the Cats to eventually burst an Orange shaded one.

Second, Quit your friggin' whining.

Remember last year? When Syracuse finished ahead of you in the Big East with an IDENTICAL record? AND YOU MADE THE TOURNAMENT?! You are in no place to be whining.

Besides, as I posted yesterday, the head of NCAA officials (and retired VILLANOVA chairman of education and human services), Henry O. Nichols said,



"You see some people will say, 'Why call a foul 30 feet from the basket?' " he said. "But the kid with the ball got bounced backwards and had to go backwards and reset the entire play. That's an advantage for the defense. You call that foul. When Syracuse played Georgetown a few weeks ago, Syracuse was holding for the last shot, and the same thing happened and my guys no-called it. They should have called it."

Now, would you all be whining if Wallace had been bumped out of bounds, giving Villanova another shot at a win? Probably not. As college basketball fans we always argue to call a game consistently, both ways. Given there were over 40 fouls in the game last night, I'd say that call was pretty consistent. And besides, what in the name of James Naismith was that guy doing being anywhere NEAR J. Wallace? Don't blame others for your own stupidity.

Having said that, I personally don't make that call. You don't usually see it called, and it probably shouldn't have been. I HATE seeing G'town win anyways. But, all better for the Orange. Nova is probably out of the NCAA picture now, and everyone will say it's because they got screwed over....Yeah, like your 5 game losing streak was the ref's fault.

Message from Citrus Nation, to Nova Nation: How's it feel? I don't feel sorry for you in the least.
