Refs get tired of Huggins screaming …
I don’t think there’s any doubt this had an impact on the game – specifically in the first half. WVa is almost in the double bonus within 8 minutes and Huggins began his tirades. The tenor of the first half – including calls – changed after that.
I thought the refs did a pretty good job overall, but WVa should have had a couple of guys with 4 first half fouls (hell, Page should have fouled out in the first half) … if the stripes don’t get scorched earth from Huggins WVa would have had 20 first half fouls. Based on the way the first part of the half was called, I’m sure of it.
I thought WVU was a crappy team and I still do.
I agree. I thought we would win this game. Whoops. Doesn’t change my current opinion of WVa though. Weak skill team that needs a game to be called very loosely in order to be their “best”. If you can’t play, make sure they can’t either … or something like that.
