OT: duke vs UNC last night
- Thread starter Douglas C. Neidermeyer
- Start date
Classic “Duke gets the critical call games”. I really could care less who wins that game, it’s just always an entertaining game. But they missed a blatant foul call at the end of OT, and then called a foul on UNC a few seconds later that was very questionable. With that said, if UNC could rebound, they win.
There were two disputed calls at the end of the game. The refs took the time to look at the monitors and still got them wrong. Both of the calls went Duke's way. Haven't we seen this movie before?
Caught this last night. Wow. Bardo said Davison's deflection, and then his shot, was the play of the year so far. I'd give this exremely high marks though. I have to give Bilas credit, as he stated the importance of blocking out. It cost Carolina.
TV Teddy is perfect for the wreck that is UNC b-ball this year but that guy needs to hang up the whistle with the terrible non call on Duke in OT w/ less than 10 seconds.
How did not blocking out cost UNC? The ball was outside the 3 point line almost immediately.
You guys, this was not on the refs. North Carolina missed 7 fts down the stretch... 7. They had two leads that were easily good enough to win the game and they failed to hold those leads.
Plus, both teams uniforms looked like practice jerseys.

Ok, that's fair. Seemed like the post was about the FT rebound.
And who was the mental giant that thought, “hey, let’s have both teams wear two shades of blue. We could have the home team wear white but that would be too damn logical. “
Duke and UNC is always a "double forfeit" game for me. In spite of what ESPN wants us to believe, very few people outside of North Carolina could give a rip.
I enjoy seeing UNC and good ole Roy have such a lousy season, but I also hate Duke, especially how they almost always seem to come out with a W in games like this.
I still enjoy that game there where Marble shot Horton's FTs.
It’s a lot of fun playing in the ACC. FSU is 10-2 in conference play despite having a -59 free throw disadvantage. The league announced today that Duke will start tomorrow’s game already in the bonus.
I don’t care for either team... I respect Coach K but get sick of Duke. However, you can’t deny that this rivalry has provided some crazy entertainment over the years. I know someone said that nobody outside of NC cares... but people watch and expect craziness. It’s fun. I watched last night and was intrigued
I would say over the last 20-30 years that is completely false, unless you think people don't like to see #1 vs #2 matchups in sports, which they clearly do.
I was at a holiday party a few years ago and struck up a conversation with a UNC alum whom I had never known before. The FT incident was a topic of conversation…he was still peeved about it decades later.
The only reason I can stomach watching this rivalry game is the fact that Dickie Vitale no longer does the broadcast.
