Must be nice to shoot double or triple the amount of free throws your opponent does.
So far Duke 23 free throws; TCU 7 free throws
- Thread starter CUJO_1970
- Start date
The goaltend that wasn’t called and the subsequent tech on Dixon opened the floodgates. This is embarrassing the whistle they get. Tough playing 5 on 8.
This! Has any duke opponent shot more FTs than them this year?! Someone posted that stat the other day.
TCU has three guys with 4 fouls.
Precious little Dukie-poo must be protected at all costs.

I refuse to watch a game if they are ahead
This should surprise nobody. Most protected team in all of sports. My most hated team.
I’m convinced Duke wouldn’t have half the success they’ve had if they weren’t so protected by the media, the refs, and the entire NCAA.
The disparity of FTs is awful.
TCU's lack of aggression or hitting wide open shots isnt helping.
Duke will be hammered by a team who can shoot. Mark my words.

Honestly. Kentucky fans should be proud that we’ve won 8 with the NCAA constantly trying to hurt the program: from the 50s scandals, to the “broke open” envelope and near-SMU-ing of the program, Laettner’s uncalled stomp on Timberlake, to the Rooferee
You are exactly right they wouldn't be half as successful
And that is just to name a few screw jobs. Shot clock violation BS against Wisconsin just to name another.
Yeah I can’t list them all… the entire 2014 UConn game was BS too
44-16
That’s the Duke free throw advantage through two games in the NCAAT.

Yes Bill, this is in fact my first time watching Duke play.
All of the money spent on the Boozer twins’ State Farm, cellphone commercials can’t surely be wasted…
44 FTs for dUKe, 16 for opponents through 2 games. 38 opponent fouls, 27 dUKe.
As of January 15th this year, duke had shot 181 more FTs than their opponents. AND they’ve shot more FTs than opponent in EVERY game. Lmao gonna try to find more data.
Don’t forget gifting Lute Olsen with a title in 1997.
Arizona 44 free throw attempts
Kentucky 17 free throw attempts
I so wish they would have lost first round when they were vulnerable. I can’t stand Duke and the BS favoritism.
Nike, Gambling, Rich Alums, etc…
Mash just called out Duke not being very impressive so far. Basically won today at the FT line.
LMAO duke has shot 299 more free throws than their opponents! Just looked it up! 
After the scare Duke had in the first game the officials had to make sure that Duke got to the sweet 16.
I think there were two games all year they didn’t shoot more than the opponent. One was at UNC and another I recall attempts were equal. May have possibly been one more but when the opponent gets more than Duke we are talking a few not 10’s. The whistle they get is nauseating. I know boozer had 6 games all season long he was whistled for more than 2 fouls. 6 games. 1 foul out, 1 with 4 and 4 with 3. How can a player of his size playing 35 minutes per game just rarely ever foul. He does of course, just gets away with it. Again just nauseating.
Damn I had a good guess.LMAO duke has shot 299 more free throws than their opponents! Just looked it up!
The public at large is not in love with Duke like the officials seem to be so I have a couple questions:
If it is not something mandated from the top, how come officials love Duke a lot more than the general public and why aren't there any refs that seem to hate Duke like a lot of them obviously hate some universities I won't name here?

Yeah no kidding. Most college basketball fans I’ve talked to (uk and other fan bases) hate Duke. Theres at least begrudging respect for UK usually .
NCAA decided Duke needs to win a title, that 11 years is too long a drought. I hope they fail.
I lmao when I saw your 300 post. Damn near nailed it right on the head! It’s incredible, isn’t it?! AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY YEAR!
I stopped watching after the first 5 minutes of comical calls.
@AMTGSLB GITT and explain to us that duke doesn’t get preferential treatment! Also, GITT and tell us how much UK gets preferential treatment! The facts, duke has shot 299 more FTs than opponent. In contrast, UK has shot 34 more FTs than opponent. You’re on the clock!
Lulz. There was a difference of 5 fould called in the game. 15 - 20. However, if you paid any attention, TCU went 5 of 10 from the line, in part, because of not being fould on shot attempts and in part because they missed the front end of one and one, negating the additional attempt they could have gotten. Meanwhile, duke shot a much higher percentage from the line. Are you now claiming the refs or duke made TCU miss theirs?
You realize Duke has multiple players that drive the ball this year, thus they get fouled more. We have Otega who drives the ball and that's about it. He turns it over, or misses it about half the time, so you really don't have to foul him. He also bricks FTs often, so he gives up FT attempts as well when missing the front end of a 1 and 1.
This is rocket science, bud.
