That being said, I’ve really been shocked by how inconsistent the officials have been so far, especially in the ACC. I’m not even going to say that the calls have all gone against Syracuse, because they haven’t. But they have been so back and forth and at times completely out of context of the game situation.
A perfect example would be the Syracuse-North Carolina game on Saturday night. In the first half, officials were letting both teams play. There were only a total of eight fouls called.
Even then, those eight calls were somewhat perplexing. Some absolutely obvious fouls, like Gbinije getting mauled as he went up for a layup, went completely unnoticed.
