Bad calls are made all the time...refs aren't perfect. Some go for you and some go against you. If I wanted to nit pick the game I could put together a video of bad calls against Duke I'm sure.
I wish we had won against Wisconsin the team Duke beat twice, but alas this picture shows Duke has the banner.

anrlelemiguodollaignsuk if you think we care at all about hearing what you have to say then you are more stupid that your screen name.
You rang? I am not trying to get banned from the duke board. As bad as those calls are, I won't give my opinion. Lol
Fun fact, they were the only bad calls in the history of basketball.
Yawn... This seems to be getting old real quick! Thanks mods for always being on top of this stuff!
Damn Dukehokie, you are like a Snapple cap!

I'm shocked that Duke haters think every call in every Duke game goes their way. The special ones are the UK and unc group who has never lost a game straight up, always because of the refs. Without fail the refs will be brought up in threads before the games even start.

The general consensus on dukes special treatment. Lance Thomas's. Magette. Any other school besides UNC gets those titles vacated.

Im shocked that a Duke fan claims they don't get calls that other schools don't get. Grayson's game winning travel against Virginia was it? And yes. The refs and cakewalk roads to championship games have helped Duke a lot. Without these factors they do not have 5 titles. More like 2 titles. With at least 2 vacated due to ineligible players playing. And yes, before a team plays Duke, they need to keep in mind the refs will swing the game towards Duke if it's close at the end. And teams need to be aware of that so you must have a large lead before the final stretch so the refs don't take control. It's hard to win games when it's 8 vs 5. It's funny how Duke fans are the only fan base that truly don't believe the refs can impact the outcome of a game.
In Duke fan's eyes it's just blasphemous to think a ref could possibly impact the outcome of a game. Or that a selection committee with Duke alumni on it could possibly give Duke a cakewalk journey to the title. That just would never happen in a million years. Disgusting honestly. Serious question. Do you truly believe Duke deserved a higher 4 seed than UK this season? And do you seriously think UK was a 4 seed with aTm being a 3 seed after losing the SEC regular season and tournament championship to Kentucky in the SECT game? Obviously the selection committee screwed the pooch on Uk's 4 seed path giving them IU in 2nd round and possible UNC in S16. And Duke got there usual cakewalk bracket. Obviously UK was heavily underseeded. They were a lock for a 3 seed with an outside chance at a 2 before the selection. And aTm was a 4. But instead they gave aTm the 3. And somehow after Duke lost to UK with Jefferson, then lost early in ACC tournament. As UK won the SECT. In the final polls before the NCAAT after the selection UK was ranked 8TH. And got a 4 seed. I believe Duke was ranked like 21st? And got a higher 4 seed. No bias though eh?
Somehow Duke leapfrogged UK in the selection process after not being better than UK statistically in any way and not winning in the ACCT at all. Yet they jumped UK in the seeding process? But you're right the selection committee doesn't gift wrap duke's brackets. Totally. And Duke totally deserved to leapfrog UK after losing early in ACCT and losing to UK with Jefferson and as UK won SEC championship. Somehow that was enough for Duke to be the higher 4 seed when they were ranked much lower and in line for a 5 or 6 seed BEFORE THE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENTS.. Riiiiggghhhhttttt. What a delusional bunch if you think the selection committee didn't just BS Duke to be a higher seed than UK. No bias in the process at all. Then explain to me why Duke was seeded higher with a much easier bracket? Mhm. Sure. But the refs and committee don't give Duke favorable calls or match ups. Even though all the evidence suggests otherwise.

Your tin foil hat is on too tight, might be affecting blood flow to your itty bitty brain. I am embarrassed for you rupp tards. Your post is by far worse than anything smooth as butter has ever posted on rupp rafters.

Riddle me this. Lance Thomas, and Magette, shouldn't have been ineligible to play college basketball? You're joking right? Yup and the Academic fraud at UNC wasn't a 'men's basketball issue'. The tin foil hat conspiracy? you do realize this is the consensus amongst everyone in the country outside of Durham right? Not one fan of college ball thinks differently besides Duke fans as far as the special treatment Duke gets.
Anthony Davis should not have been eligible to play either since he was paid 200k to play for uk. PayPal Cal pays his players. See how easy it is to regurgitate nonsense.
I'm sure you troll all the other boards of the schools
where Magette's AAU teammates played for, seeing that several players were payed yet none of the schools were punished. Oh, the conspiracies!!!
"The NCAA hates PayPal Cal and yookay!!"
"Duke gets all the calls and favorable brackets!!"
"Duke would have 2-3 titles without the help from the NCAA!!"
"It's hard to beat Duke when it's 8 vs5!!"
Put down the haterade troll. Only Duke haters subscribe to your conspiracies.

It's not a conspiracy if the entire nation of college basketball fans outside of Durham agrees with my so called 'conspiracies' (lol only Duke fans call it a conspiracy, wonder why?). First it was 'referees couldn't possibly impact the outcome of a game towards one teams favor' to paypal cal paid AD. No evidence of such. But there is evidence of 100,000 dollars worth of jewelry to Thomas in college at Duke. And magette, that's a known fact. Not even allegedly or anything it's a fact. If AD got paid 200k to go to UK. Our title would be stripped and UK would get the death penalty. Employees within the NCAA have admitted to the NCAA playing favorites and targeting certain schools and coaches. UK and Cal being one of the targets, coach k and Duke being the untouchable. Example: Magette. Example. Look at UK getting an 8 seed the Julius Randle, James Young season. UK getting a 4 seed the Brandon knight season, UK getting a 4 seed this past season. Obviously we are targeted. Our resume none of those seasons matched the under seeding and difficult paths we received. Look at the path we receive EVERY YEAR. It's practically criminal when you compare to duke's.
But yea the NCAA doesn't target or play favorites. And UNC didn't play ineligible players for 20+ years in order to conduct a successful college basketball program. Yet somehow while enduring the biggest scandal in college sports history. Somehow the basketball team went from being implicated in the original reports. And in the final report. No mention of the men's team being involved whatsoever and Mr. Untouchable Roy and his squeaky clean program get thru unscathed. Don't get me started with the rentals players received from drug dealers with drugs and guns in cars. A 5 year investigation on academic fraud (5 years makes no sense). And a total botch job on academic fraud. But yea you're right it's all conspiracies and there's no corruption in the world today especially the NCAA. There's no such thing as world hunger you crazy tin foil hat conspiracists! Who would think such things in this world exist! Yall are crazy as can be. Or just plain blindly delusional because of your fandom. Peace!
Kentucky fans are so jealous of the Duke program, that guy is a perfect example. Duke is getting the best talent, and its killing them.
If we want to get into aluminum foil hat stuff...lets look at the set up to this game...Duke with freshmen goes into (senior laden final four contender)Wisc. early in the year and beat them in their house by 10 when they had no clue what they were doing. Duke towards then end of the year gels and has greater understanding of def. principles and in aggregate probable a 15-20 point better team. CBS sees Duke smoke MSU by 20 with K letting off the gas in the last ten minutes...not wanting a 20-30 point laugher in a finals game the refs hangs 3 phantom fouls on both our 2 lottery picks in the first 8 minutes. CBS GIVES RYAN the only chance he had in winning his title and he still lost to our 2nd team playing most of the minutes...AND still had the nuts whine in the post game interview, incredible!
It honestly never ceases to amaze me. The idea that Duke is the recipient of some shadow conspiracy while Kentucky is out there fighting the good fight. Your championships were hard-fought victories while Duke's were bequeathed to them via some shadow conspiracy.
Here's the thing, dude. If you want to call shenanigans on the selection process, at least call the correct shenanigans. Oftentimes, you're dealing with teams that are very close in ability. So the difference between a 2 and a 4 seed is negligible. Sometimes, it's about marquee match-ups. Deal with it. Don't act like a whiny brat.
Next, referencing the SEC? Stop. Just... stop. The SEC is pitiful in basketball. The ACC had four teams who could have competed to win it. UK is always good. I freely grant you that. But... you're it. So good luck with that.
Overall, it just seems like you're looking for an excuse as to why Kentucky hasn't lived up to expectations. You're obviously jealous that Duke has hung more banners this century than Kentucky. I'd say I'm sorry... but I'm not. The fact that you have crafted this narrative to compensate for your feelings of insignificance is priceless. Thanks for being unintentionally funny.
The NCAA would be crazy if the blue bloods didn't get the "home games", TV time, coverage bias, etc. So to say that Duke is the ONLY program to get that, you're either completely delusional, or you're just admitting our superiority in a the time period in which televisions had color and weren't just viewed in store front windows.
Thanks buddy!
Thanks buddy!
You're really dumb....but I'll play along.
Could something shady have gone on in the Lance Thomas deal, or whatever we call it? I suppose. I'm almost certain Duke did nothing wrong, but it's possible Lance made a mistake. None of us will ever know because Lance isn't talking.
And what are you talking about with Maggette? First and foremost, he was never on a national championship team at Duke. The team he played on lost in the national championship game to UConn. Second, the schools with the other 'Myron Piggie' players didn't have wins vacated, so why would Duke? Those players were required to sit out a certain amount of games the following season as their punishment. Maggette had left for the NBA so he didn't face those same consequences, for obvious reasons. Had he returned to Duke for his sophomore season then he would have been given the same penalty.
As for the referee and selection committee stuff I'm just at a loss. Based on the KenPom ratings we clearly had a more difficult road than UK in 2015. We played four top 10 teams. You played one....and lost.
Like I alluded to earlier....you're not smart, so this is all just going right over your head because you don't want to believe it. Most, and I say most because clearly there is a dim-witted portion of fans along with you, are incapable of common sense. It's not your fault....it's just the cards you've been dealt in life. I'm being honest when I say I do (kind of) feel sorry for you.
Wasn't up at 1am when his rant began so thank you for taking the time to deal with the nitwits. Honestly, it's very similar to posting at THR- what's the point. They're going to believe what they want and foam at the mouth and i'll just sit here and sip on my drink and wait for the rant to be over with.
Darn, I am eagerly anticipating your mod edits of this troll's rantings and ravings!
They're desperate to rationalize it as anything but Calipari not getting it done. Kentucky made their Faustian deal to get Calipari. They justified it because their program was getting routinely out-recruited by everyone. Duke, Kansas, UNC... Memphis? Yeah. They knew what they were getting. Thus, every season hinged on Calipari's ability to "reload" (his words) and every recruiting battle became immensely important. If he failed to pull in a "Fab Five" class, it was seen as a failure. Now, Calipari has seen two players transfer from his squad for the coming season. They failed to get Bolden... which stings their pride even more than whiffing on Kennard. Admittedly, it's funny to watch.
