Or the clear shot clock violation they didn't take away 2 points on? K did't make a peep over those 2 whoppers. The refs ALMOST decided the game. Either way, incredible game. Coach K no longer has to speak (though he does ALL THE TIME), he’s been doing it for several decades. He can just look. He get’s call. If you don’t believe it, I can’t help you. Right or wrong, he’s got the rep that refs don’t want to mess with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he forgot to do "the look" before those 2 bad calls that could have lost them the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who watched that incredibly exciting game and concludes the the refs handed the game to Duke should, for their own sanity, stop watching sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he did. He had a very nice house in FL, full of kids toys out front. Drove past it many times before it came out, but hurt my soul every time after it hit the fan. Life can do that..... 1 minute ago, Teddy KGB said: Who fouled Zion on that last bucket ? That was the giant standing there with his arms straight up in the air who got run into. Too deep for a charge, but it was CERTAINLY not a block. I’m not a conspiracy guy, but refs lean toward their preconceived notions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a hell of a run in the last 7 minutes, hats off to them. 10 hours ago, Turk71 said: The 2 on 1 break when UCF were up by 4 they went for an ally oop instead of the easy bucket. Such a dumb move. This is what decided the game, not the refs. Oh yeah....GO BLUE!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying basketball, largely but not entirely due to the difficult block/charge call, is the worst.

That wasn’t a 7th foul, because it was a charge by Zion, and I like Zion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
