^^^^^
200%. It's the no calls that drive me crazy. duke can hack a way, put 2 hands on every ball handler, block, lower the shoulder on offense, etc. etc. it's nots just the calls, but the no calls that allow them to keep playing that way for 40 minutes. No other teams get that latitude.

Most circumstances Duke, but with an undefeated season/history on the line it would go to UK

It's a paradox. The universe will collapse on itself.

I swear, whenever I see Coach K in tournament mode, as in angry faced and yelling at his team/refs (same thing), he looks like Master Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
That picture is what happens when Coach K says "TAKE HIM, TRAJAN!"

It's awful. In one sequence late 2nd half (huge no calls) he barreled into the defender, should have been a charge wasn't, shot it missed and Kanowski had the rebound he went over his back and knocked him OOB's no call Duke ball. OOB's play a pass into him, he changes pivot feet on a travel then throws one in. I mean he literally committed 3 obvious TO's and nothing was called. This is just the tip of the iceberg with him. How can you beat that? Can you believe K had the audacity to argue about the charge call on him in the first half when Sabots too it? Quite honestly the way he's been handled all year is a joke, really an awful joke!

Duke is gonna win cause the refs will make sure WCS and KAT will be in foul trouble all game. Ok4 gets away with so much it's funny, anyone remember the bs calls on brima? That's what we're gonna see all game.
I'm gonna put on my scouting cap for a second. There's a part of me that worries ok4 is led down the wrong path at Duke. In the NBA he won't get away with all the bull he does now, so I hope he can adjust when that change is made. Also for a guy his size, he can't play any defense/post defense(like every dukie). He's clearly talented and doesn't seem like a bad kid, so best of luck to him.

He's a bit overrated but could be a nice player. He's given the red carpet treatment as you say and I agree, could hurt him. For this Knicks fans hoping to get him I'd be weighing much more heavily towards Towns myself.

Winslow is the absolute worst in terms of out of control hacking that I have seen in the tournament. He just wails on people on defense, and nothing is called. Just a word of warning, if you tried to play like that in a pickup game, you would get the living spit beat out of you.
I think the officiating in games between P5 schools has been excellent. Yes, Towns was committing a lot of offensive fouls for Kentucky, but Auguste was getting the same calls on the other end. I don't like to see a game called that way, but the refs were calling it the same on both ends.
That was not the case in Duke/Gonzaga. Winslow and Okafor are clutching, slapping and grabbing on defense, and the refs don't so much as even think about calling a foul, but if Gonzaga so much as gave Winslow a dirty look, Winslow was shooting 2.
If I was a P5 assistant recruiting against a non-P5 school for a player, I would just show them clips from this year's tournament and ask them if they want to try and win with the refs helping them or hurting them? Seems like an easy answer for most players.

Watching him play made me think the difference between a great college big man and an average one is simply getting calls or no calls to go your way.

Also Kanowski played Tyus Jones straight up on a lay up near the end of the game, Jones had already lost the ball and then ran into Kanowski and they made yet another pitiful call for K. It gets so painful to watch sometime. HUGE advantage
