Poor officiating overshadowed the University of the Virgin Islands’ contest with Truett McConnell as the hometown Bears pulled away with a 93-81 victory Wednesday evening in men’s basketball play. With UVI trailing 66-62 at the 10-minute mark, a call that went against UVI incensed the Buccaneers’ bench (and deeply upset the UVI fans that came to support their team) and led to two very quick technical fouls. Truett McConnell was gifted six free throws to extend its lead to 72-62. There was an earlier technical foul called on UVI’s bench after there was a flopping foul call made without a previous warning. In total, UVI was assessed five technical fouls, which resulted in 11 free points for the Bears. For the entire season, the Buccaneers had only been assessed one technical foul. Prior to that point, the game was shaping up to be a thriller as the Buccaneers used a 13-2 run to climb from under a 56-45 deficit to make it a one-point, 58-57 game. Jamal Norris led the team with 25 points on 9-of-18 shooting and 5-of-12 from deep, despite fouling out with eight minutes remaining. Chris Williams (20 points) and Will Boyd (16) set new personal season-highs in scoring.
