Duke Gets All The Calls

I'm sure this is taught in Coach K's school of "fooling the officials". I can hear him training his guys: "At Duke University we've won a lot. We have some kids who haven't failed that much. But when you get to Duke, you're going to fail some time. That's a thing that I can help you the most with. To prevent failing more than we should, my coaching staff and I implemented strategies on how to effectively teach flopping and goaltending. We've perfected the science and we feel we will fail less because of that"

Coach K's new techniques are working like a charm... see:

This was called a block last night. Duke won easily.

WVU vs Duke

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.

Floppers Beware

The Duke Blue Devils, who are famous for their outstanding flopping ability - we're outdone tonight against not only the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, but yes... also the officials. Over at AA, BP shows us that yes... sometimes, albeit rarely... the Dukies don't get all the calls:



Yep - all 5 starters on the bench, fouled out. As a Carolina fan, I couldn't be more thrilled!
