I've been so focused on the travel I just now noticed the foul. I'll take the no call for the win. This Duke victory is for all of the people who want refs to swallow the whistle at the end of the game.

I don't think he was fouled at all...good defense by Virginia. It was REALLY CLOSE on whether he walked or not...after watching the replay, I still could not tell so I certainly not blame the refs for not calling it...

 

First blush I thought it was likely a travel. Then when they showed the replay from the opposite baseline I wasn't sure. Too hard to call. You have to let it go if you're not sure.

His foot was definitely down before it left his hand. Without and doubt. Heck I thought he walked before he shot but he didn't until the end.

I thought it was good no calls all the way around.

Whether he walked or not is up for debate, but what amuses me is when people say things like "refs aren't going to decide the game by making that call in the final seconds." Well, that works both ways. By not making the call it also decides the game. A no- call can decide the outcome as much as making a call.

I'm sure Bennett feels that the refs decided the outcome. He as much as told K that in the handshake lineup.

He was fouled anyways.

And K reminded him that Grayson was fouled.

Fouls don't apply if the walk violation is first, which it appeared to me to be the case.

I saw the foul before the walk. I didn't see the walk before contact. I saw the still shot of him with his foot on the ground with the ball in his hand after he landed from jumping.

I saw a good play to win the game. Duke like UK is starting to play their best at the right time.

 

Wouldn't it be something if somehow both these teams make the finals and give us a finals match we thought we would see last year.

I agree with you.

Unless there is another video of another angle I don't think there was a foul. Allen created the contact.

I agree, otherwise the offensive player could create a foul every trip.

Huh? Okay. He dribbled to a spot and there was contact to stop him.

Uhhhh, yeah, they do that every trip and it never gets called. See: James Harden.
