Congrats on the win. Iowa fan here and I thought we were getting crap after our Temple OT last second win. Man everybody might hate you more than even Duke right now for beating Cinderella SFA.

I was cheering for them because their defense is so fun to watch (especially after our laugher) but dont let anyone tell you that you didnt deserve the W. I thought the last foul could have been a no call and the over the back should not have been called but refs have been inconsistent all year. I hope you guys dont try to argue with the millions of ppl that are hating on you (look through the ESPN game comments or Reddit if you dont believe me), because your team played well enough to deserve the win. Auguste was a beast andthat was best I have have ever seen him play. He won you that game IMO. Stay classy and if someone cries that those were fouls dont argue just say maybe it was and I guess we caught a break, otherwise ppl are never gonna stop with the hate (just my advice from our Temple game).

If you guys can shoot close to 60% and 40% from 3 the rest of the way like today you guys can be a final 4 team if Auguste plays like today. SFA was a really good team and you guys did what a good WVU team couldnt even come close to. I dont know who Im gonna cheer for now but be proud and good luck vs probably Xavier.

I'm just glad they didn't call Auguste getting fouled in the last seconds. The tip in worked just fine, better than Auguste free throws.
It seems the art of officiating hasn't improved much since the third official was implemented, in fact there seems to be more confusion and missed calls.

As a Notre Dame alum and fan, I am used to the hatred. Notre Dame is just a school that many people love to hate. This used to bother me, but not anymore. It is always there, and always will be.

Yeah, I agree with you. It's almost more fun to be hated.

I think its funny how people are complaining about the officiating when SFA was in the double bonus and ND was barely to 1 and 1. Walkup got 3 fouls called in 1 possession when none of them were blatantly obvious. yeah the refs were totally in the tank for ND.

Edit*** and 1 more thing. I'm tired of people b***ing about the refs online. And I hate to say this b/c I like SFA and if it wasn't against ND I'd be disappointed for them too. But tell Cinderella to take her skirt off and get 1 rebound. That's it, they get 1 rebound there at the end and it's end of story, but they got outhustled and that was the difference.

I only wish the game finished with that stupid Walkup joker catching a elbow to the throat - they tried to make him out to be Larry Bird.
