CSU

UNC leads 35-32 at halftime. We need a win in this series--it's been three or four years since our last one

Would be a huge win. CSU blew out the momos from Weber.

This UNC team really looks like they belong on the court with every team they have played. Would love to see them knock off CSU.

Hell, we struggled against Mankato State and Augustana when I was a student. We have come a really long way.

The foul disparity of this game is a joke.

Frustrating finish. I kept thinking we had the game.

We lost to the refs tonight, not the Lambs.

I really don't like the copout, I think it is used way too often (by me too, a lot) but tonight was just simply egregious. The game of NCAA Basketball is taking a blow from porous officiating down the stretch in many games, tonight was one of those. Basketball is a hard game to officiate, it is probably the most subjective of any sport to police from play-to-play, so I try to be fair to the guys in black and white. Therefore, all I ask for is equality or a closer form to it. It's no secret that a home team gets more whistles than the visitors, but there's a line. It seemed like that line was blown past tonight.

The one qualm I really have with the Bears tonight is settling for too many jump shots in the final five minutes but how I could be mad at that when they couldn't buy a call? Why be aggressive and take it into the lane if you know you're not going to get the justifiable whistle?

MWC officials calling double the fouls and 20+ FT's in favor of a MWC team in a MWC gym is just an awful look for many involved. My only real recommendation (a friend texted me this tonight) is to simply have a single governing body for all officials in the nation, not segmented into conferences. The NCAA seriously has to take a long look into this, because we will see many more games be officiated in a manner that we saw tonight with our Bears.. it just has to be rectified soon.

Proud of the way UNC hung tough, this team is on a really good track. This loss doesn't deter them from a bigger goal, Although it's always difficult to see kids with a memorable achievement on the table, then see it snatched away from them very unnecessarily. Fin.

I watched the game on game tracker and I hate to sound like sour grapes but it was unbelievable how the refs were calling fouls on us after we took a 7 pt lead ! Refs can try to control a game however they want but this was way to 1-sided. Go Bears

I watched the game on the MW network and there was one point that four straight possessions for the Rams were called for shooting fouls. I think in an evenly called game, we beat that team. I also think if we would have went for a two point play instead of a deep three, we could have beat New Mexico. This team is tough, I think we will do very well this year.
