Gerry Pollard. He and Drew have had several run-ins over the years.

lol how's that a foul on Nunn. he's just standing there w his arms straight up
DanaDane

I thought it was shot clock violation because it didn't touch the rim? Maybe I missed it?

He's one of those refs that tends to make games personal from what I've seen.
DanaDane

Yep. Play by Play sheet shows foul on Nunn.

If you're keeping record at home, Pollard has called 5 of the 7 fouls against us.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yep. Drew has really had issues with him in games of our's vs. Kansas.

2 great passes by RayJ on that possession

How does Wvu have 4 fouls. We've been a bit foul prone but they have at least 7

These ticky tacky calls are keeping WVU in it.

Stop fouling and this is an ez W.

I love the mics picking up the hecklers.
Some guy just yelled 'this isn't the freaking Sun Belt Conference..let em play!"

If you haven't watched WVU much this season, that last foul on Johnson (his 2nd) was a key foul. He is by far their best defensive guard. Doesn't add much on O but he's been pretty salty on D this year.

Every time we get a decent lead the refs make sure the game stays close.

Josh O is having a HELLUVA game today!!!!!!!

Love to see it for such a good guy.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
we're on pace for a 100 piece
Quinton

Starting to feel it. This team with Love punching in can do serious damage. I still like the upside over all but maybe UConn and a few others.
DanaDane

Would really help us for Edwards to pick up a ticky tack 3rd foul here in the final 4.

Keep scoring guys

Problem is we don't have to foul to get whistled for one ...
Hotsauce

Do. Not. Foul.
DanaDane

Someone's gonna have to slack off another WVU player and help Josh or Yves with a double on Edwards.

I don't think Nunn was expecting that pass.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There we go. Jonathan may not have the speed any longer but he still has the muscle to slow Edwards down.

Nice work by JTT. Set a screen for Walter too

I've never been there but it seems like a combo of the HOT Coli and Ferrell.

The players cannot control that if refs blow phantom fouls.

Lazy pass by JTT

They have the hot mics working, IB. Find 'em and talk some 's".

Is it just me or is Walter short on the majority of his shots?
