***DUKE VS MICHIGAN STATE - ELITE EIGHT OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[tclark6]

Right when I think we’re going to put our foot on their throat, they leave Winston wide open!

 

[Dad2ze]

I guess I didn’t see the push off

He only pushed Tre back 5 feet

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

That’s not a foul?!

 

[K-oach Q]

It’s clear they are not going to call the offensive push off..we are thirty min in..time to accept it and toughen up can’t keep expecting a call they are not making...it sucks but that’s the deal..

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Are there refs on the floor?

 

[youngman42]

WTH is DeLaurier doing?

 

[denverexpat]

with the lead we have to make better choices on offense....get it inside on every play.
Have we ever scored a basket after a time out?

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Javin

 

[GabeM1234]

Cmon guys game after game I can barely breathe...

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Javin!

 

[LONMUNU]

Javin!!!!!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

I’m not sure why so many people on here treat Javin so poorly

 

[tripleb71]

I don't even know what a foul is anymore

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Fouls just won’t be called I guess

 

[Bludvls1]

Zion getting killed inside. No autopsy no foul.

 

[Dad2ze]

If they would call the fouls on the push offs and under cuts MSU would have the team managers playing

 

[LONMUNU]

Man this lack of foul calls is getting stupid

 

[Mr.Scary13]

They absolutely refuse call a foul on these chumps

 

[youngman42]

DeLaurier is plays like a freshman. Bonehead one play. Great play next. Crazy.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

No need to settle there!

 

[tripleb71]

Come on Zion! We gotta be smarter than a three there.

 

[BigRedLar]

Zion looking a little winded

 

[denverexpat]

Jav is gassed

 

[K-oach Q]

Danger time we need to tighten up now

 

[Duke1783]

Face it these bozos are not gonna blow their whistles

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Zion with a stupid 3

 

[Laettner15]

I guarantee you the next time zion touches someone they call a foul! Meanwhile Ward and Goins go all Khalil Mack and nothing called!

 

[tclark6]

These last three games have turned me from a drunk to an alcoholic... now I have to go to meetings!

 

[pisgah101]

We’re fouled every possession

 

[Bludvls1]

They all look gassed right now.

 

[K-oach Q]

We are in serious danger time now..we are gassed and haven’t run offense last two trips

 

[Ioliva]

We drive so much but are not getting any free throws. This entire elite eight round has been totally devoid of any calls. I’ve never seen so many good drives into 2-3 guys and no fouls called. These guys must be saints

 

[youngman42]

Those tired, lazy 3s by our freshmen are killing us.

Their physicality is wearing us down. I'd put White in for a minute or two and put Jordan in on Winston.

Why hasn't Jordan played? Bizarre. He's a very good defender and Winston is creating his own shot and opening up shots for others .

 

[GabeM1234]

I mean we go from a 3 point lead down 2... it evaporates so quickly.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Between the lucky circus shots and the refs allowing MSU to mug everyone, I don’t feel as confident now.

Also, I have no idea how Reddish is ready for the NBA. I know, I know, it’s potential. Even then. I don’t see it.

 

[Louisville Crazie]

The officiating has been abysmal in every single game in the tourney this year.

 

[Laettshow]

Zion takes beatings just like shaq did.

 

[z-irish]

We’re fouled every possession

THIS!

 

[youngman42]

I mean we go from a 3 point lead down 2... it evaporates so quickly.

Every time we get a lead, they pick up their intensity and we relax. Ergo, lead goes away.

 

[K-oach Q]

K has not rotated...we are going with what we have now..guys have to play tired no bench is coming in except the Bolden and Jav swap
