Duke - Butler IN GAME THREAD

[TouchdownJesus]

anyone else want to pummel Clark Kellog?

 

[ppabart]

just like Thomas had all ball there

 

[airportis]

he made a play on the ball. man its like some of you guys dont even know the rules.

its a good hard foul. he didnt take him out from behind. he was to the side/in front of him and made a play on the ball before he could get it all the way up.

 

[ppabart]

I didnt say a word about the foul being flagrant.

 

[airportis]

how about the graphic they just put up? Butler has 14 FT this half to Dukes 3.

 

[TouchdownJesus]

No problem with the call...hate to say it b/c it is an exaggeration but....would Duke have gotten 2 shots and the ball? Probably.

 

[PaSprint]

Cmon Butler. Make the foul shots, stay in it, and beat the team that is "supposed" to win it

 

[airportis]

the hatred for duke by some of ya is really taking away from the chance to enjoy a great game

 

[ppabart]

its just nice that Butler is still in the game. but remember the Baylor game.......

Exactly!

show me one call where Duke got called for a foul that they didnt commit

 

[airportis]

the Baylor game was really swung by a huge bad call in Dukes favor.

I havent seen anything to that extent....yet at least

 

[TouchdownJesus]

airportis, you are right but.....we've seen this movie before...over and over.

Such a close game where every possession counts and little things all night go Dukes way to let them be in position to win. Happens every game.

So not true. Just like the refs did in this case they would have went to the monitor. Period.

Straight cheese fastball, right down the middle, ball 4.
Remind you of anything?

What little things? The fact that Butler on the defensive end of the floor has grabbed Duke all night long off the ball and not once has anything been called away from the ball? Dont stereotype this game and this Duke team with teams or games of the past.

[kenman]

what the chances of this game stay UN 128.5 :scared :scared

 

[airportis]

Refs do make some shitty calls that really influence the game but they dont have the benefit of the TV angle, theyre on the floor where they might not be able to see everything.

So far I would say the calls in this game have been pretty damn good. The guys who are hacks, Zoubek and Howard, both have 4.

The charge on Hayward was bad but so was the foul on the rebound Hayward got in the 1st half.

All in all the game has been decided by the players so far and I just hope it stays that way. Dont want to see a game given to either side.
