That made me lolThat bad call happened in front of Dukes bench, guess the ref didn't want to get rat bit and swallowed his whistle.
This is what chaps my _ss!! We NEVER get the kind of calls in those last 16 seconds that the RATFACE’S TEAM GOT!!!UNC missed a lot of free throws or it would not have been OT. But two bad calls put Duke over the top. No Road games for Duke as far as calls go. Much different feel for UK on the road.
How does one sell their soul to themself?No. K has obviously sold his soul to Satan for calls.
Yes, 17 missed FTs. Absolutely cannot rely on refs getting calls right even most of the time.Free throws cost the Cheats more than 1 call
How in the world can you review the inbounds pass to Platek and not see that (1) He got fouled from behind (I know that's not reviewable) and then (2) defy the laws of physics and have Moore hit the ball out of his hands and it be off Platek (UNC)? How does that happen? Only one team in all of college basketball would be so fortunate as to get that call, then see them get another fortunate, undeserved call for a foul on the last drive (Jones). In fact, Duke got every call there was to make down the stretch in both regulation and the overtime. Leaves me thinking that there really is some fixing going on, and this was supposed to be a veteran crew. How does TV Ted not see the ball hit out of the guy's hands to go out of bounds? Wow! Yes, same force of nature last year against UCF--clearly a Zion push off to get the rebound and score was the only way for Duke to win. How many other very lucky plays did they make to advance to the regional final? It took many, and that's what they got.I HATE UNC, but why does Duke ALWAYS get the whistle their way?!!!!

Coach K has a horse shoe stuck up his rear end. Sometimes it floats too far up, they lose and he has to miss with “back problems”. Eventually they pull it back down and they start catching all the breaks again.
Has to be.....
The amazing thing is that Duke ever loses a game in view of the calls they getHow in the world can you review the inbounds pass to Platek and not see that (1) He got fouled from behind (I know that's not reviewable) and then (2) defy the laws of physics and have Moore hit the ball out of his hands and it be off Platek (UNC)?

Others need to take note of the lessons they can learn--in the waning moments of the game, Duke's philosophy is to do anything--foul, cheat, trip, whatever it takes...to win. This is war and winning at all costs is how they view it. Gotta give them credit for that mindset--they do not like to lose (I see many kids these days who don't mind losing), and beyond just drawing up plays and coaching players individually, that's probably Coach K's biggest asset, imparting the will to survive and win in overcoming insurmountable odds.
Carolina had a horrendous final 20.6 seconds in overtime, up five at 96-91, but we should have known the refs would bail them out if they could, and they did. Shame on Ted Valentine for not having the guts to overturn the inbounds play decision.
I used to take Duke getting all the favorable calls as overblown. Likewise about us getting screwed by refs home and away. I truly can't believe I was ever that naive a person. It has gotten so blatant and so mind bogglingly out in the open it that it is killing the game. For the first time in prob a decade I purposely didn't watch a game, MSU after the Auburn fiasco. Just seeing Duke get that call and ball is disgusting.How in the world can you review the inbounds pass to Platek and not see that (1) He got fouled from behind (I know that's not reviewable) and then (2) defy the laws of physics and have Moore hit the ball out of his hands and it be off Platek (UNC)?
