Immortal13 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Thread FAIL!!!! I hate Duke, but they won the game fair and square. It was a great college basketball game and both teams left it all out on the floor. Just give credit where credit is due. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLine06 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 You may have a point. And in spite of this built-in bias towards traditional powers: - N. Iowa beat Kansas - Ohio beat Georgetown - St. Mary's beat Villanova - Cornell beat Wisconsin - Butler beat Syracuse - Butler beat Kansas State - Butler beat Michigan State Similarly, Butler had a reasonable opportunity to beat Duke. You forget, Butler had to travel the most miles out of all te teams in the tournament to make it to the Final 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitEmHarder Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Surely no one on here believes that the NCAA fixed this game. That's just crazy. Duke may not have been the "best" team this year, but they were the best team in this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke may not have been the "best" team this year, but they were the best team in this tournament. Couldn't have said it better. All that matters is that they won 6 games in a row when it counted.

DLine06 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Duke was assigned to the weakest region in the tournament. They got to play the winner of the "play-in" game in the first round. To be honest, Baylor should have beaten them. An A&M team without all the injuries could have beaten them. They got a critical call in the Baylor game that took momentum away from Baylor similar to the ridiculous charge that was called on Hayward last night. The officials know of Coach K's reputation. Yes, he is a great coach but he also whines to the officials all the time. Any crucial call late in a game will go to Duke because of Coach K. He intimidates the officials. I really wondered why Duke got that region when Kansas was the #1 overall seed got the bracket that was the toughest region of the tournament.

No problem to answer that question. Bill Self isn't a crybaby like Coach K and doesn't have the pull with the NCAA that Coach K has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears Coach K has some pretty stout competition right here at smoaky.com ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBird2 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Yawn...How can people come on here and gripe about officiating at the college level when the NBA officials have admitted to making calls go a certain way. I love basketball but I just don't enjoy it anymore at any level other than high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
