**** The Official Duke VS. Syracuse In Game Thread ****

[You mad bro]

It was the right call.

Good call refs

[Trigger7672]

Thanks for the bad beat Boeheim you RANCID oyster

[grease lightnin]

Glad I teased

[The Madcap]

Welcome to the ACC Syracuse. Home of the worst officials in the country. They're at least okay in non Duke basketball games...football they're atrocious

Shit. Tell that Maryland/UVA/NC State fans. ACC refs suck in general. Though they're only usually openly biased in the Duke/UNC games. Though I gotta say with the calls Cuse got against Duke in the Carrier Dome it does even out. Wasn't even that bad a call, just a tough one. Unfortunately for the Cuse kids he couldn't quite slide around the Duke guy. Too much contact for a no-call in that situation, even though the Duke kid definitely went down easy. It's a 50-50 call, but Hood had slid over to that position well in time, only question was whether or not he was fully set but that's almost impossible to determine in a bang bang play like that.

Don't be a dick. It was a tough call either way.

[aman86]

duke -5.5 $$$$$..refs weren't gonna let em lose at home

[byronbb]

I'm still dumbfounded at the ending to this game. If you had Cuse at anything less than 6.5 I am so sorry. I feel guilty about having that extra half a point. You guys got screwed.

Still Duke shot like 35% from FT line.

yeah, and it's their third game in six games. Tried legs=missed free throws. Main reason I was on Cuse is because I knew Duke wouldn't have the legs to hit the number of jump shots you'd need to pull away against that zone. Knew it would be a tight game throughout, though I thought it would go the other way around, Duke comes out and takes the lead early, falters down the stretch after their legs gave out. Credit to Jabari Parker/Rasheed Sulaimon continuing to attack, only reason they held on to win the game.

Make no mistake the JB tirade was on purpose. One of the first to stand up to the Cameron bullshit.

Bro that was clearly an offensive foul

[Cuse0323]

Bro that was clearly an offensive foul

Then the foul against Gbinije was a charge

[BigBusiness]

unfuckinbelievable. well there goes my $2000 right down the fking toilet.

What a shtty day.

ref should be shot... i mean it

[isotopes]

That should have been a no call but as a cuse fan I'm ok with the loss cuse played well on the road at duke where kids camped out for 3 days to get in. Definitely think the refs killed cuse centers all game when grant was mugged every time down low. But home team gets the calls in ncaab. Just glad to see cuse playing good again.

Seriously, after all the miracle calls you guys have been getting at the Carrier Dome the past three weeks you're going to whine about that call? How about the last Duke game where you were lucky as shit they didn't call a foul on that Hood dunk attempt? Or the NC State game where you managed to shoot the first SIXTEEN free throws of the second half. They called what, 19 fouls on NC State in the 2nd half and 4 on Syracuse? Now that's some BULLSHIT. And that doesn't even mention the bucket they took away from TJ Warren that would have ended the game. They tried to hand the BC game to you too, only unlike Duke/State BC managed to pull some shit out of their ass and hold on. There hasn't been one damned team in the entire fukking country get bailed out by the refs as much as you guys have this year so shut the fukk up already.

[meader99]

Fair was out of bounds. Whole play should have never happened.

[HockeyRocks]

BETonLINE closed at 6, i bought the hook to 5.5. And feel fortunate..

NC State didn't even have 19 fouls all game but nice try. Make up more shit.

[Seaweed]

[grease lightnin]

I wasn't making it up. I was ballparking it. See the question mark at the end of that sentence? That signifies a lack of certainty. I wasn't sure. I could have had it wrong. And you're right, it wasn't 19. Just looked it up, with a minute to play in that game there had been 13 second half fouls called on NCSU and 3 on Syracuse. Cuse had shot 17 free throws to NCSU's 1. And you're whining about one tough call tonight?







Keep playing with yourself buddy.

Sorry State troll, enjoy the cellar.

[The Madcap]

Meh. We're used to it. I didn't sign up to go to State because of their basketball team. If all I cared about was rooting for a good basketball team I would have gone to Duke or Carolina instead. And I'm not trolling you man, I'm just trying to get you to be honest with yourself. A tough call went against you. It happens. It happened in your favor the last time you played Duke. It happened in your favor against NC State. BC too, but they were able to overcome it. Quit complaining.

[DJayAce]

Lucky for me 5dimes had the spread at +6 1/2 early in the day so I snagged it up, not sure if it changed afterwords on 5dimes but prob... Thought it was going to be an EASY EASY win for me, but was a lot closer than expected, non the less a win . F'in refs almost cost me, even though I thought the charge could have gone either way. I would have actually smacked the coach in the face than the refs, that was just such an ugly finish lol, should prob not get into it

Not really complaining, was probably a charge but they called it a block on the same exact play against us so that's what bugs me. Duke won, I'm over it.

[ChalkyDog]

That was a good game.

That charge/block call only decided the game because Jim made sure it did.

Boeheim doesn't lose his mind, you never know.

[Cuse0323]

Just for fun, we can look at the two plays.

yeah well, that flagrant 1 they called on Andre Dawkins tonight was the exact same call they should have made against Cooney on TJ Warren in the Cuse-State game. But did they call that shit? NOPE. And that was huge for us. That single call is going to keep us out of the NCAA Tournament. Nobody gives a shit that you lost in Cameron. Like you said, you're already over it.

I'm honestly not sure if you're serious.

Yep I am, but you're clearly not over a game that happened a week ago.

Look at the replay. He's clearly standing on the sideline just prior to catching the pass from Ennis.

The loss is definitely worth the Boeheim gold.
