NJJ, you must have had almost the same view as on the streaming. I wasn't sure whether it was a technical or not because the ref didn't look like he did the standard "T," it was more like he pointed 1 finger up and pointed in the direction of Gates and Nelson was directly behind Gates, so it wasn't clear who it was on and then, because they were jabbering away and probably didn't know themselves, the announcers really didn't explain it - likely because they just weren't paying attention. They were really bad but probably did not sink to the level of "BINGO!!!"

President Vince was at the game last night with a group of HC Semester in Washington students. Hopefully he went to dinner with the team and Kit after the game and bucked everybody up.
Everybody must be frustrated but hope the team sticks together and plays hard the rest of the season.
Kind of nice PVR visits the students in Washington and combined it with a game along with what is surely his primary mission, ringing the register for HC.

They were really bad but probably did not sink to the level of "BINGO!!!" The ref definitely made the 'T' sign, sader. I saw him. Then he pointed right at Nelson. That's how I knew Nelson had been T'd. But I still don't know why. I thought Gates got fouled on the basket, but there was no call, so I assume Nelson said one of the magic words to the ref as the ref started back up the floor.

longsuffering Pres. VR and the Trustees are in DC this weekend for a Trustees’ retreat. In addition to our Pres and ADKH, at least one of the Trustees (a former varsity athlete) was at the game last night as well. Would be interesting to learn their collective “take” on the state of HC mens’ hoops.

NJJ, we could both be right. I'd have to replay the video but suspect that the camera didn't show the ref until after he did the "T" and only caught the pointed finger.
I appreciate your objectivity on Gates being fouled.

The announcers we're definitely engrossed in their own gabbing when the T was issued. Even if they saw it, they didn't interrupt their blarney to call it when it happened.

I'm more annoyed by the insufferable "Good Ship Lollipop" palaver of Kevin-and-Kevin we have to endure during home games

Knowing the kind of person and competitor he is, this must be killing RJE. At least HE has a resume. Remember that old Imus bit, "Who doesn't belong and why?" Here's an easy one: Shaka Smart, Rick Pitino, BN. Would love to hear RJ's dad's take on this mess. Bernard McGuirk was priceless. Cardinal O'Connor, Dick Nixon thru the dickscope. I am going to guess things aren't too great for Brett Nelson either. He is used to success and I suspect he is an intense competitor. This has to be eating him up.

I'm more annoyed by the insufferable "Good Ship Lollipop" palaver of Kevin-and-Kevin we have to endure during home games The comment about the patience shown by HC in taking a two when they needed a three, with 6 seconds left in the Bucknell game, absolutely floored me. Something like "Not sure what they were thinking", might have been more appropriate.

I'm more annoyed by the insufferable "Good Ship Lollipop" palaver of Kevin-and-Kevin we have to endure during home games After a made layup to cut the deficit from 17 to 15 against Navy — “And the Hart is rocking. Just like that, we have a brand new game.” They’re a really tough listen.

You get what you pay for, and they ain't getting paid much - trust me.
These guys do it so they can tack it on HC broadcaster onto their resumes and LinkedIn profiles.

Replace them with the announcers we get for the women's games, they are much better.
