Sidney Lowe Thinks Scott Wood Gets Held A Lot

From the Charlotte Observer this morning.

The first part of the article is much more important, as it explains the scenarios to determine the number 1 seed for the ACC Tournament.  Quite simply, because of the tiebreaker scenario, whichever team wins the Duke-UNC game next Saturday will be the ACC's number 1 seed, no matter what happens tomorrow night for either team.  Just in case you thought that game didn't matter at all.

But there's a little footnote at the bottom where Sidney Lowe is asked why 3-point specialist Scott Wood can't seem to string two consecutive games together.

"I know he's my player, and I might be a little biased, but I think the film doesn't lie, he gets held more than anybody I've ever seen," Lowe said. "They just literally grab him, grab his jersey and hold him."

Really?  Please.  Sidney Lowe's whining about the refs is getting a little tired.  It was bad enough to go around talking about how "confused" he was after the UNC game last Wednesday (despite the fact that his gameplan clearly included being as physical as possible with the Heels- I guess he was expecting that Tracy Smith should not get the same treatment at the other end), but now he's just blatantly blaming the fact that Wood is inconsistent on missed holding calls. 

Stop it.
