OT: One more year

I like the inclusions of Brand, but IMO, there was no way Boozer comes to Duke with Brand there. He was already not even expected to commit. Because of that, I can't include Brand.

For me it's Kyrie and Deng. Just because of the fact that we were so close with Deng and robbed in the final four. With Kyrie we were undoubtedly the best team before he got hurt. We were robbed of a sure fire final four and another NPOY at Duke from both guys in my opinion.

The 04 final 4 still stings. Maybe it's my Duke bias, but the fouls called on Duke sure had me fired up at the zebras.

^ It's crazy how many fouls were called on our bigs in that game (Shelden-Shav-Horvath all fouled out). By the end of the game, we were playing Deng at the 5.

It's not bias. Those last four minutes of the game saw some very egregious calls. I'm not sure I've ever went from so high to so low in such a short amount of time as Duke fan. I watched that ending in bewilderment.

Yes and I'll never forget with Duke still holding at least a 2 possession lead I think, there was a foul called on Horvath, his 5th, when it sure looked like it was the 5th on Okafor

So did I. If you go back and rewatch it, it will bring back all of the same feelings. I remember being furious.

I have rewatched that game only 1 time ever and it was 1 time too many.

How about the hug Okafor gave Shav which would would have been his fourth? Cool thing about that, Shav hadn't missed from the floor when he fouled out I do believe. Yes there's a foul there with the forearm, but the follow-through is even more impressive. And yes, Shav made this layup.

Dang you Dukehokie, i was just starting to calm down then you go and pour more gas on the fire. Lol. Really looked like a ref crew that did their best to see to it that K and company weren't going any further. I'll never, ever forget Okafors look when the whistle blew, then Horvaths when the bum call was on him. That's why I say Deng not back in 05 was one of the biggest kick in the sack for Duke. Final 4 at least imo
