Poor michigan State, they had no business being here though, their bracket was so weak

 

[Proelite]

Game's not over yet.

Typical Duke mercy.

 

[Mrbob]

See you Monday night, Blue Devils.

Ate Kentucky players going to be in the stands watching the game?

 

[reKon]

He tripped on himself get the fuck out of here

 

[Jarate]

Them Duke calls lol

Duke fans cant complain about refs

 

[Future PhaZe]

lol

he hacked the shit out of his wrist

cmon

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Emmert making the phone calls out here.

Duke-UK will not be denied...

 

[Mrbob]

State getting screwed by some bad calls now.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Horrendous call.

 

[JJDinomite]

And the Oscar goes to...

 

[Dan]

As much as I think MSU gets treated poorly by the refs in many games, there was absolutely nothing clean about that swipe.

 

[reKon]

State getting screwed by some bad calls now.

How about all fucking game.

 

[Proelite]

First call was poor. The 2nd call was correct.

 

[Jarate]

Dude got smacked in the balls

 

[Grover Cleveland]

How about all fucking game.

Eh, it was called too tightly both ways until the last two minutes or so.

 

[Heisenberg]

These refs have been terrible since the game started tbh

 

[Kevtones]

Duke is the better team. Not really close.

 

[JJDinomite]

These refs have been terrible since the game started tbh

Makes me very worried about next game. Do both games have the same refs?

 

[RoKKeR]

Fuck I am in pain watching that guy.

 

[reKon]

Eh, it was called too tightly both ways until the last two minutes or so.

Have we been watching the same game? Lol..

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Ate Kentucky players going to be in the stands watching the game?

They're gonna be eaten?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Have we been watching the same game? Lol..

Yeah.

Half of Duke's team is sitting on three or more fouls right now.

A bunch of terrible touch calls have been called both ways.

In any case, it's really hard to blame refereeing on a 18 point deficit.

 

[Jarate]

Okafors ball handling skills are pretty intense. Hes just nasty

Imagine if the Sixers drafted him. Okafor, Embbid and Noel on the same team lol

 

[Proelite]

Have we been watching the same game? Lol..

I don't get it. This isn't even a close game. I don't think the reffing is the difference in the game.

 

[truly101]

I don't get it. This isn't even a close game. I don't think the reffing is the difference in the game.

When Duke wins = refs. 8 on 5 and all that.

 

[Jarate]

Micigan has been able to get that shot all day, just penetrate in and pass a few feet out

 

[Jarate]

Valentine is the only player on Michigan State thats been stepping his game up

 

[Servbot24]

Reffing is probably not making the difference, but you never know how the flow of a game would change. For example MSU was playing well until the 2 terrible calls on Dawson.

 

[Venture]

Different crew for the next game.

 

[JJDinomite]

Michigan State
6 - 9 FT

Duke
19 - 27 FT

This is the most important stat of the game.

 

[MisterR]

Duke has gotten a friendly whistle, but MSU has played like shit. Somehow just managed to turn the ball over on a 3 on 1 break.

 

[reKon]

Michigan State
6 - 9 FT

Duke
19 - 27 FT

This and YES the bad reffing takes out all of the momentum out. Compare the first 6 mins out this game where the refs weren't calling much to the remainder.

 

[Dan]

Costello seems scared to make any moves.

Michigan State has been shooting jumpers all day

You aint getting foul shots when you take jumpers

Also fun to point out: Duke made 23 field goals to Michigan State's 20. Michigan State has five more 3-pointers than Duke. Game should be much, much closer than 67 to 54.

 

[Kevtones]

A perfect example of this game's officiating. Ticky-tack both ways. Duke didn't even touch Dawson there.

 

[Kastrioti]

Holy fuck at the size of Jahlil hands. If he can palm it like that no reason he shouldn't be developing some sort of skyhook for the NBA.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I'm just glad that despite Cal and Kentucky having the limelight and cornering the market on national hatred, Duke ref crying still remains an institution.

(TBS not even showing Jah's pops, that's his uncle. Every black man looks the same to them smh)

 

[truly101]

Hackafor time for Sparty. Hope it backfires.

 

[Mrbob]

State should have been attacking this zone earlier instead of jacking up 3s.

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

Michigan State

Ludicrous statement. Duke has been driving to the basket all game. Of course they are going to get more foul shots than a team that just shoot jumpers.

i don't think this dude watches basketball that often.

 

[Kevtones]

14 Michigan State turnovers
7 Duke turnovers

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Trice heroball

 

[bronkonagurski]

I figured Duke would win this game. I was hoping for an all Big Ten final game but figured it was fantasy.

Now, go Badgers!

 

[Kevtones]

That was off Duke. CONSPIRACY.

 

[slightconfuse]

14 Michigan State turnovers
7 Duke turnovers

Refs obviously making them turn the ball over

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Coach K running 4 corners better than Roy did.

 

[Heisenberg]

Also fun to point out: Duke made 23 field goals to Michigan State's 20. Michigan State has five more 3-pointers than Duke. Game should be much, much closer than 67 to 54.

Also fun to point out that MSU has shot almost exclusively jumpers for the vast majority of the game.

But hey, whatever fits your agenda.

 

[reKon]

You aint getting foul shots when you take jumpers

That's not what I'm complaining about. We haven't been able to to play good defense without getting bullshit fouls calls. We're talking 3-4 possessions in a row here. Slows down the game and reduces any momentum.
