March 3, 200818 yr Would you still want to play UK in the first round of the NCAA tourney? Yes.....while UK went all out yesterday and played with heart against UT....they simply can't matchup with Duke not without any legit big men.
March 3, 200818 yr Duke will usually get the calls when they need them in a tight game.Game changing terrible call. YOu know what a game changing terrible call is? Not fouling Duke with :39 seconds to go...
March 3, 200818 yr Yes.....while UK went all out yesterday and played with heart against UT....they simply can't matchup with Duke not without any legit big men. We'll have to see how it plays out. Kentucky just needs to take care of business and we'll go from there. Duke really needs to get things turned in the other direction, though.
March 3, 200818 yr I expect (not that that means much) a win against Virginia on Wednesday...and then its senior day against Carolina.....if they can't get up for that....they are not alive.
March 3, 200818 yr YOu know what a game changing terrible call is? Not fouling Duke with :39 seconds to go... If that foul wasn't called,Duke would have had to do the fouling.
March 3, 200818 yr If that foul wasn't called,Duke would have had to do the fouling. Considering they had the ball? :confused: If that foul was not called he had could have gone up for the layup anyways. That did not change the outcome. It actually lessened Duke's chances because typically Demarcus isn't a great foul shooter.:lol:

I'm sure they won't have a problem getting up for the UNC game, but UNC is going to be awfully fired up as well. Id say UNC will win that one.
March 4, 200818 yr YOu know what a game changing terrible call is? Not fouling Duke with :39 seconds to go... I don't think anyone is accusing NC St of having a great game plan. :lol: Their zone defense was actually pretty poor. Giving Duke that many good looks from 3s didn't work very well.
March 4, 200818 yr I'm sure they won't have a problem getting up for the UNC game, but UNC is going to be awfully fired up as well. Id say UNC will win that one. I wouldn't be too upset if they lost that one because if they win, it'll be darn tough to beat them that 3rd time in the ACC tourny.

It actually lessened Duke's chances because typically Demarcus isn't a great foul shooter.:lol: Considering Nelson had the ball and clearly hooked the defender it should have been NC States ball and a foul on Nelson.Now we are back to Duke fouling NC State.:thumb:

That was not enough to be called a hook. He didn't even use his elbow which is usually necessary for that to be called. :thumb: Try again.
March 5, 200818 yr It should have been a no call...that's all you will get out of me. That was not enough to be called a hook. He didn't even use his elbow which is usually necessary for that to be called. :thumb: Try again. It was a hook. The offensive player was gaining an advantage by doing it. Now I don't think its that big a deal for him not to call it, but to call a foul on the defense is awful.
March 5, 200818 yr I was hoping the Wolfpack would pull this one out. Has anyone noticed that North Carolina State has been the exact same team for the last 20 years? They always have top recruits, yet always manage to go 18-12 and choke away winnable games that cost them tournament berths.
March 5, 200818 yr It was a hook. The offensive player was gaining an advantage by doing it. Now I don't think its that big a deal for him not to call it, but to call a foul on the defense is awful. 90% of the time if a player was to do that, it would not be called. I don't think he really gained that much advantage, if he did he would have been able to put up the shot. I do agree that it should not have been called on the defense though.
