Duke Blue Devils (that rat faced scumbag)

why not use their last timeout at halfcourt instead of taking that half-court shot?

They ended the game with TO in the bank. Catch the pass, take a dribble, call timeout.

Set up an out of bounds play.

Will never make sense to me. High School and college teams rarely do it.

I really thought paulus was out of bounds with like 2 to go.

I thought so too, that he stepped on the line before he 'saved' the ball in the corner; but I'm pretty sure Duke didn't score on that possession, so it didn't really help them.

^Duke missed the shot but how much more time would have that left on the clock. The fucking officials were absolutely horrible. In the first half Butler got called for every touch foul and Duke was over the back 6-7 times and pushed the Butler players 5-6 more times. I can't watch another fucking North Carolina or Duke game. They get away with murder.

Paulus was in line for the women's restroom when he knocked that ball back into play. That was a horrible non-call.

Dook didn't make the normal BS shots they make down the stretch to put a team away. Belmont had every opportunity, and they didn't take advantage.

He was in-bounds when he left his feet, but as he called time-out, which you cannot do anymore when falling OB, his foot came down by the cheerleaders. And it was obvious. And the ref standin right there, completely missed it.

But Duke took a quick shot and missed anyways so it didn't really alter the game.

Now if you really want to be bent about something that wasn't called, replay the last 3 or 4 times Belmont had the ball down deep and was essentially mugged (at least I've seen less called far more frequently), but there was no call made.

That's if you want to get bent about it.

Personally, I don't have Duke going very far. They'll lose to the first team that can hit open shots and play decent perimeter defense.

Belmonts dude got raped going to the basket on the play before the coast to coast. Still, how do you let a guy go right down the middle to get the winning basket? They played well but didnt deserve to win doing that.
