Hi, I'm new to the forum. SB alumni and fan for over 20 years...
Having watched the first half of this game I feel like it's
always the same story with this rivalry. Different faces come
and go... Even coaches... but UV always plays disciplined, high
lQ basketball and SB is always running around, hoisting up 3s,
going 1 on 1... No movement, no control, bad turnovers. So
frustrating, because we have some really talented, young,
athletic guys on this team and if they would play well together
than this team can compete with anyone in mid major level,
Gonzaga not included..and they showed it early on, but
apparently they peaked before the conference schedule, or
decided to sleepwalk through it? Who knows? But they'd better
get back on track soon because if the last 3 games is any
indication, this could be a lost season.

AE refs have been historically poor. I dont know where they
get training or experience but they are awful when compared
to refs in larger conferences . We were just out played on our
own court in just about every aspect of the game. Need to
regroup by Wednesday or lose in Baltimore.

Without going into a lot of details, I was looking to ref about
15 years ago or so, and had a connection into doing it (I wound
up not doing it). In any event, the regional refs that did the
AE and Colonial games were "the cream of the crop", went through
local training programs (for CYO and High School), worked their
way up the chain, and back then, were getting paid $ 280 per
game. I'm sure it's more now. I know that the NCAA at-large
has instructed all refs to tighten up the game, and call more
fouls, but it has really gotten ridiculous. As I mentioned
earlier, losing aside, I totally did NOT enjoy the game on
Saturday, as the refs took away any flow to the game. We've had
a # of those types of games this year.

Welcome to the board, Dave. We’re happy to have you.
“Lost season” is a little strong. If we split our last 10
conference games and win one in the conference tournament,
that’s 23 wins. I think most would consider that worst case
scenario. This team could easily win more games than any other
in program history.
Yes, all teams going forward will be measured up against the
2016 team that made the tournament. And I agree with that. A
conference title should be the goal and it’s an attainable one.
But let’s not write our guys off because of an uneven couple
weeks and a single loss. Vermont got blasted at home and
rebounded. We can do the same.

We're at 17 wins and it's not even February yet. We could
conceivably have a 30 win season as at the bare minimum we have
a solid NIT squad here if not something much better. No need to
write everything off over one loss. I'm sure the guys will
regroup come Wednesday.
