Bullshit.

If you actually watched the game, you would know that the refs absolutely refused to call a real foul - only hand checks and travels.

yea aaron!! represent duke fans from potter's class...

i agree, reddick didn't get a singly foul call any of his drives.. he only went to the line twice... and that was liek from a block at half court..

but what bothers me sooo much is that reddick continued to drive even tho he knew he wasn't getting his calls

and when McRoberts made that stupid foul on Davis...

I love the devils, but they didn't play like the team they really are

Why does the sport of basketball now seem to qualify as teenage angst?

Trust me when I say that it does. It just does. It's the biggest sport in North Carolina, and the one with the most emotion tied to it.

dookie whiners, you guys get away with hand checks for the whole year, and then you guys have the same standard applied to you, and then you start whining. Congratulations, Biggest Choke Ever.

Everyone calls Duke fans whiners. They tell us that our team gets all of the calls. While this may happen, it is certainly not because of any innate bias towards the Blue Devils. And that is the mark of an ignorant fan of another half-assed team who is jealous. I will now explain why Duke gets all of the calls.

1) ZOMFGBBQ maybe they just are that good. JJ has been working on drawing the foul for years. Maybe he's just good at doing it. Good teams know how to get to the line. It's that simple.

2) When a team is up at the end of a game, they are fouled a lot in order to stop the clock. Duke is often up at the end of games. Do the math.

3) Unlike certain coaches (*coughHerbSendekcough*), Coach K actually works the refs, as any good coach does. The more you grate on the refs' nerves, the more likely they are to call in your favor. And no, Coach K isn't gay and does not in fact sleep with the refs or any of his players.

4) Karl Hess - the most anti-Duke ref in the history of college basketball. 'nuff said.

I'll post more later when I have the time.

well, duke fans are angsty, i agree w/ rashi, everyone claims duke fans are whiners, well that's because duke has the ablility to be the best in the nation, they just don't always play like it.... and about calls...

duke gets to the foul line alot, because the are just a more agressive team, so they get fouled more often, not because ref's are bias, honestly, people who don't know much about the game should just nost talk,

and to support rashi, like everytime reddick makes a shot on the perimeter, he tries to draw a foul, and even tho he's not the biggest guy, he still drives inside a lot, not neccessarily to score, but because he's more then likely to get fouled

and no one's saying that the ref's were biased against duke, the refs at the game just weren't calling much of anything inside, for either teams

Damn. And now LSU's in the Final Four because no one is willing to call fouls on them! How do you not draw a charge on a guy like Tyrus Thomas, who spends so much time in the air? Just stand still, dammit!
