Somehow Tracy Woodson to everyone's puzzlement ejected Pierria Henry on a jump ball. From the looks at it, Pierria did nothing wrong but say something to the ref. Woodson T'd him up and tossed him at the same time. Niners up 12 and will win this game, but I still have no idea how the hell Henry got tossed. I guess only Woodson knows that.

EDIT PS - I hate Keno Davis.

That and some odd refereeing down the stretch. Seemed like a road game with the way they were calling contact on each end. Even so, ugly game by the Niners, they tried to cruise in this one it seemed.

Really hope Henry can play for the next one at Miami. Will be a killer if he is out.

What a train wreck of a game. Just awful. Niners sleepwalking early. Also couldn't shoot. Then the refs got involved trying to keep it under the 17 pt spread. PH ejected (tech I get, but ejected??) We'll never know reason, but no Niner fans saw any contact other than ref tripped over 2 guys fighting for a loose ball.

CMU gets hot from 3 and honestly, we blew about 6-7 switches on perimeter and left them wide open. Refs again make several other suspiscious calls.

Niners win by 12 anyway. Win but don't cover.

Plenty of ammo for conspiracy theorists out there.

Oh, and yes, Charlotte was BAD early, but they turned it on in the 2nd half. I kind of expected a bit of a letdown after Davidson, but this was an awful game. Just glad it's over.

Major explained the ejection. Evidently, Henry didn't want to give up the ball, someone grabbed his arm and he told that person to basically get the hell off him. Turns out that person was the ref, but Henry didn't know that. So, Henry gets ejected. Bush league ref move but Major said Henry should be ready to go against Miami.

Apparently PH told the ref to "get off him" in not exactly those words (probably some profanities), after the official dove in to break up the dive on the floor. The official then proceeds to T PH up and sends him to the locker room at the same time. Good news is that Coach Major said there shouldn't be any suspension since there was no fight or anything of that nature. Why in the hell eject a kid for throwing a few profanities your way? Tech I can see, but straight ejection?

Chalk it up to A10 refs. Always terrible.

I was only able to watch bits of pieces of the Temple-Duke game today, but when I flipped it on with 7 minutes to go and heard the announcer say that Temple was shooting THEIR FIRST FOUL SHOT OF THE GAME, I couldn't believe it.

That is virtually impossible for a team not to get to the line in 33 minutes of game action. It would have taken a supreme effort for Temple to beat Duke, but it's got to be impossible with that kind of foul discrepancy. Just ridiculous.
