Do you hear the crowd, can you believe that the crowd is for duke in San Francisco. There sure is a lot of bandwagon fans out there.

That’s like 98 percent of dukes fan base, none of them have any affiliation with the university what so ever, they just like them because they thinks it’s cool or being edgy or some stupid crap like that. They also like bama football the buccaneers whatever team lebron James is on the braves since they won the World Series

I need to be convinced why I should continue to watch college hoops. The rigging is OBVIOUS, and their hatred of Cal and UK is just as obvious. Do we think they are going to let us win a title with Cal at the helm? They want Duke or UNC to catch us.

The reffing is bad for sure but I had to admit it but duke did make plays down the stretch that roach kid hitting fall away 15 footers was never something I saw happening

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

You all can’t stand the fact that Duke has went out and Won games.

UM duh, we all hate duke and want them to lose every game, why on earth would anybody on a Kentucky forum be excited about them winning

That is a Duke troll

I know the scrum shouldn’t lurk here

I fell asleep woke up with a little over 2 mins left and TT was up a little then I looked and saw Dook only had 3 fouls. Knew it was over before it was.

Saw Roach fouling, walking and no calls. Wow I never have cheered so hard for another team as I will for ARK Sat.

I can’t agree with the Zebra narrative tonight. It’s absolutely true they always get the whistles. But you have to sometimes give credit where credit is due. They have made some huge shots/plays the last two games. I hate them more than anything but they deserved the win tonight.

You can disagree, but that would mean you didn’t watch.

The refs were critical for Duke during a stretch that began without about 7 minutes left.

Watched the whole game. This was an outlier. They called it the same both ends of the court.

"This Duke thing of making shots down the stretch and making free throws is an interesting strategy. Scoring when you get the ball instead of dribbling for 29 seconds and chucking, along with making free throws leads to victory. Never made the connection. "

Nope.

I will never agree with that because it isn’t true.

When TT fumbles the ball away, it’s them “choking”.

When a Duke player gets trapped, travels, and coughs up the ball, it’s a foul on TT.
Two shots for Duke.

Game-changers. Refs dictating terms.

Yeah I know which play you are referring to. The loose ball. That was a bad call. But, I guess my point was — that one call didn’t cost Tech the game. Duke was not awarded free throws there. There really wasn’t another egregious one that stuck out. Nothing like Arizona 2001 or Xavier 2004 or our game this year. The And 1’s that looked sketchy in real time — replays showed they were fouls.

I hate giving Duke credit for anything. But they were lights out in crunch time.

Of course they were awarded free throws.

1+1

There were 25 seconds left and the score was 73-70

Instead of Tech inbounding down 3,
Or having a live ball turnover, Duke goes to the other end shoots free throws to extend the lead to two possessions.

That is a textbook example of how refs manipulate the outcome.

Sorry I was talking about an earlier play in the second half. The refs called a reach in going into a timeout that was a clean steal. Fouls went to 4-1, advantage Duke if that helps any.

Suuuure…

Laugh all you want Arkansas could beat them if the fix wasn’t already in. I said preseason put your money on Duke because the NCAA would make sure the rat goes out with a win.

 

[Cat in ga]

Kentucky fans have watched way more Duke basketball this tournament than they have Kentucky basketball.

It’s ok if the truth ever comes out Coach K will be vacating about half his wins. Hope he gets what he has coming to him as did Paterno at Penn St.

 

[Morgantown Card]

Hey Cat fans, Louisville fan here. I truly hope you keep your record over Kansas. Kansas has happily marched on with no consequence form the FBI scandal. In fact, they extended Bill Self and in his contract there is new language that says he cannot be fired for cause because of NCAA allegations. Meanwhile here is Louisville 4 coaches later, 3 ADs later, 3 Presidents later, and potentially only 3-5 current players for next year later. No NCAA wins in years, a losing season. SO SCREW KANSAS and GO PROVIDENCE! I hope they lose every game until Bill Self is gone.

Enjoy the games!
