First half all the calls were going Duke's way. Things have evened out in the 2nd half.
I'm watching this game with a West Virginia student. To say he's pretty excited right now with the 'neers up 10 with 5:07 to go is an understatement. When the camera just showed Ed Hightower (head official) WVA fan shouts "I hate Ed Hightower!"
I'd say it's safe to say this game is over. Great 2nd Half for WVU! Mountaineers are heading to Phoenix to play either Xavier or Purdue. Winner most likely gets UCLA for a chance of making it to the final 4.

The West Virginia win was the most impressive performance of the tourney thus far. Mazzulla drove Paulus nuts and clearly Joe Alexander Is The Man. You knew early in the second half that Duke saw it was in trouble when their white kids start flopping on the defensive end and giving Academy Award-type "Ive been assaulted" performances on every drive to the basket. And, because Duke is Duke they usually got the calls. Problem with the strategy is even the refs can't make your shots go down.
Can't wait to see how the refs deal with Neitzel and MSU assaulting Tigers left and right and then playing flop city on their end. When Neitzel tries to claw the Tiger guards' eyes out, it will also be interesting to hear Billy Packer say something cute like "well, that was a good hard foul."
