Are you insinuating there is a conspiracy to give them calls?

No.

Duke is allowed to move 6' while screening. Pretty easy to got open off that.

 

[xboxfever]

Apparently Duke never fouls, but anytime Duke misses, TCU must have fouled them.

 

[NYCYFan]

These games going as expected, the matchups tomorrow were always going to be way more interesting.

 

[JP4CY]

Duke refs

 

[xboxfever]

Apparently they can goaltend too.

 

[cyclonespiker33]

Is goaltending something they can go back and fix during a media timeout?

 

[awd4cy]

I thought no Cinderellas meant more interesting games later on. That’s what I was told at least.

 

[CIAFarmer]

That ref should never ref in the tournament again. Soft.

Not calling the goaltend is malpractice. You can always overturn it.

 

[xboxfever]

These refs need investigated.

 

[CyCrazy]

Dixon should light these refs up in his presser.

Dixon should light these refs up in his presser.

He needs to have one of his seniors do it so he doesn’t get fined, but this is blatantly obvious favoritism for Duke. Just ridiculous.

 

[Clonedogg]

These refs on the Duke/TCU game should be investigated

It should be. If a 3 can be reviewed, no reason to not a goaltend.

Right? There is nothing subjective about it. It very clearly was off the backboard when he blocked it.

TCU quitting at this point. What can you do

 

[MushroomPinball]

Always annoying when one team gets to be as physical as they want and the other team gets called for a foul if they breathe on the other team. TCU was fighting an uphill battle and was likely to lose either way, but the officials didn't want to leave it to chance that Duke might lose.

They should have just walked off and forfeited the game at the 6 minute mark when the refs had made sure it was over. TCU absolutely got hosed by these refs. And if you weren’t watching, you’d think Duke just pummeled them.

Or, we are going to get called no matter what, make it count. Put some serious hurt on this ********.

Duke is in the Sweet Sixteen for the 3rd straight tournament and the 35th time overall. They are 25-9 in the Sweet Sixteen. They have won their last five Sweet Sixteen games and defeated Arizona last year. Duke is 10-5 as a #1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen.
