76-68 unc.


NC State having their best season ever, but probably not enough to win at unc.

Chumps,
living where I live with the cable provider I have I probably get to see more of the non-marquee games than you do- maybe, maybe not. I agree that style of play has a great influence, but I think the league offices of the BE and ACC have different attitudes and points of emphasis that get passed down to the refs. Some of these BE games are almost NBA like under the boards comp[ared to what is allowed in the ACC. That goes with hand-checking (too a lesser degree) as well. I think the boys in Greensboro want a different game, and the two biggest dogs (unc and Duke) have some influence over that, too. A guy from Seton Hall standing under the basket trying to draw a charge against a Georgetown forward isn't the same as a kid from Clemson standing in the same spot trying to draw one against one of Roy's golden children.

Well then you'd be wrong. Points of emphasis come from the national office, not from the conferences. Not only that, but they are included and appended to the rulebook that the NCAA puts out each year. Order one for yourself and see.

Do you really think that the refs are good enough, in the absolute SPLIT SECOND that they have to call a foul, to think "wait a sec, okay, hand checks are a foul in the ACC, SEC, and SoCon, but not the BE, B10, or MEAC. Charges on the other hand are limited to ACC, A-10, and Big-10, but not the SEC, Big East or SoCon"

All of these officials work 7+ conferences. You really think they are good enough to, in split second time, selective enforce different rules for each of those conferences in a CONSISTENT and subtle way? That's your story?
