Not sure I follow, but if it is a foul it is a foul.
that's what i said.

He insisted that it was too borderline of a call to make in such a close game in the final seconds.

That just doesn't make sense. Is the ref supposed to draw a line at what, ten seconds to change how he calls a foul? And only if it is a close game? I didn't like the foul either, but it was on the player not the ref.

I agree completely. Just making sure i'm not crazy. The butler coach seemed to be echoing the same sentiments as my roomate in the post game interview.

Too really bad mistakes. I think the refs got it right. As did Leroy because that foul on Pitt was exponentially dumber than the foul by Mack.

The conspiracy continues!

I actually didn't watch the end of that game but I've seen the replays. You would kind of hope the refs swallow the whistle there, but it was a dumb play by Pittsburgh and they can't complain.

Pullen is out of his mind right now. 30 points with 9 minutes left.

Felt really bad for Pullen. Damn good player and he didn't deserve to go out like that, especially not after dropping 38.

I would love to see Duke blow this game.
