March Madness, 2nd round - Saturday

Dixon needs a TO

To do what? Ask the refs to call the game fair?

 

[blkknight1]

I was expecting that to be called an offensive foul

 

[nelsonmuntz]

That was goaltending on Duke. Should have been 2.

 

[uconngb]

Blatant missed goaltending call

Frigging Dook

 

[BFieldHusky]

Then a t on dixon.

 

[alexd]

What does Jamie Dixon tell the barber he wants when he sits down??

 

[blkknight1]

Now a T on Dixon when he was right to be pissed. Can't win if you're playing 8 on 5

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Ugh, these freakin’ Duke whistles.

First the ridiculous flagrant call on Toolson (he was falling backwards and grabbed Boozer’s jersey to help him not die) and then the missed goal tend. Always liked Dixon.

 

[uconngb]

23 FTs to 7

 

[superjohn]

Sarr just pushed off to get the rebound. It was a good game until the refs took over.

 

[Mr. French]

Wow. I’m not usually “this” guy for real, but man the refs might be cheating tonight.

 

[uconngb]

TCU is getting jobbed

 

[BugsyCT]

It's a vintage Duke tourney game where the refs castrate the other team.

 

[aceboon]

Bad whistle aside TCU has missed way too many shots at the rim and from floater range, hard to pull an upset when you're smoking that many close range shots

 

[mike012]

I feel bad for TCU. They should just walk off the court. We aren't going to be given a chance so why bother

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I would put in my walkons if I was Dixon. If the refs are going to make a joke of this game, then make a joke of the game.

 

[uconnfan68]

Had to switch to an actual game.

 

[Horatio]

Blatant favoritism, thus the eternal hate from me. And that was goaltending 101 as opposed to what was called on us last night, which was below the cylinder.

 

[blkknight1]

Whenever the hate for duke starts to wane a little bit, you get a game like this to remind you why hate them so damn much and love seeing them lose.

 

[Dove]

Another TCU second half swoon.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The KenPom fanboys are in for a test in the late games. KenPom declared that this year's SEC is the 5th best conference of all time. If that is the case, the SEC should go 4-0 in the late games. Let's see what happens.

Edit: For the record, I am rooting hard for Vanderbilt and Arkansas, because I decided I would give the "KenPom is all-knowing" argument a chance, and I went deep on both teams in a weird pool I am in.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I have complained about the officiating in one game this season (Butler/SMU) prior to tonight. That Duke/TCU game is #2 for the season. The refs were not going to let TCU win.

 

[mike012]

That was a 9 point swing against TCU. An obvious gold tending. 2. Then Duke I believe got a 3 on the transition. 3. Then the Technical 2. Then Tcu didn't score and Duke did..2.

 

[Dove]

What does Jamie Dixon tell the barber he wants when he sits down??

I swear those long comb-backs are plugs.

 

[gsmooth]

Bad whistle aside TCU has missed way too many shots at the rim and from floater range, hard to pull an upset when you're smoking that many close range shots

I have to believe Duke's height affected them. TCU is one of the shortest teams in th country.

 

[uconngb]

Impossible to watch a Dook game. You just know it’s gonna swing on a bunch of awful calls. How anyone can say they don’t hate them anymore is beyond me.

 

[jibsey]

Look I know Duke is pretty good but these announcers are laying it on rather thick.

 

[Leebo]

TCU not capable of outperforming a 5-man Siena team?

 

[RuffRuff]

Would have been nice if either of these two games had a reason to watch.

Chalk-i-liscious

 

[Ripper32]

Edmonds is a good player but he really hampers his team when gets in foul trouble. He did the same thing in the game against OSU. He should be aware that Duke officials will be watching him like a hawk.
