DragonFire Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Let's be honest. It took an incredible fluke in the first place (throwing the ball straight to the Clemson player) for this to even become an issue. Seems to me that luck was on both sides here. One thing that I did notice is that there was pretty much the exact same time on the clock here (4.4 seconds) than there was in the '98 UK/Duke game (4.5 seconds). The result from last night was exactly what I truly believed was going to happen back in '98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Mountain Boy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I thought that they stopped that years ago...I really though an ACC official was running the clock. I was just kidding about that. It is an official that runs it. Anyways, if you look at it objectively Duke got a big break and it did make it easier for them to win the game. (Also, what horrible defense by Clemson. Why would the guy guarding Sheyer, I believe gamble and fly out of the play???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Breeze Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Duke got a break on the clock situation, but man what a break when the inbounds went straight to Clemson for the 3. Bad decison making all around for Clemson down the stretch, why was noone guarding the basket? Great game to watch and you had to feel like Duke would pull it out somehow.

LSURock Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 No matter.. You are correct. With that point guard they aren't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPride Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 There was bad clock management at the end of the Dockery buzzer beater game last year also. Extra time was put back on the clock and replays showed Dockery wouldn't have had time to get his shot off with the time that should have been on the clock as opposed to what was actually on the clock. Same thing again this year it appears... :sleep: I love when people continue to grasp at straws....The fact of the matter is, that Duke generally does what it needs to, to win close games. There aren't many programs in America that do that., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many programs in America that do that., Yeah Duke did a great job giving up a wide open 3 and then getting 2 extra seconds to execute their play!:lol: Duke deserves credit for getting a shot up and winning the game, but they are also a very lucky bunch right now.

There aren't many programs in America that do that.,I'm not grasping at straws. Simply pointing out the facts. Duke benefitted from extra time in the Va. Tech game and they benefitted from extra time on the clock against Clemson. I'm not painting a big conspiracy picture here, just providing a factual observation.

h.s.footballfan Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 No matter.. You can always tell when Uk is losing, their fans have to find things to complain about with Duke. A win is a win, I'll take it anyway Duke can get it. Even if the refs cheat for them. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many officials are intimidated by him and to his credit, he knows how to use this to Duke's advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think it was 2.1 in the UK/Duke game. That was the '92 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was human error in both cases and it just so happened it occurred at Duke and just happened to aid them winning games at the buzzer. Nothing more, nothing less.

C-A-T-S Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I remember them winning on a shot with only 2.1 seconds left, so they had enough time either way... :walk: :fight: :fight: :fight: :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyDanza Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yes, you're right...DUKE GETS EVERY CALL, they suck to the utmost degree, every win is a pure falacy. Now I don't have to post that they suck...cause you said it!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
