Why would they want to play?

If I recall correctly, Belfry fans were shouting that they want their players to foul out. Such a classy fan base, "trip him Tony (Messer)" (referring to Wolter bringing the ball up the court). Also take your shades off, East Ridge had way more bad calls in the first half.
