How do these officials

[hogville38]

Blow a important call every game.

[revolution]

What's the free throw discrepancy?

[Dr. Starcs]

It really is amazing. And to think these are the best. Lol

[onebadrubi]

Blow a important call every game.

They decided at half time to change the game and insert their will. 

[kaki]

Could have given the whistles to the Duke assistants and the calls wouldn't be much different!

[Razorback_Mack]

The money was on Duke

QFT

[kaki]

The money was on Duke

and some of that money must have been the officials!

[revolution]

Every drive for Duke got a foul. Then Duke could play physical on defense and never even got called for enough fouls to get Wisconsin in the bonus. Some Duke players made plays down the stretch, but officials kept them in the game for 10 minutes when Wisconsin was owning the actual play.

[Hexametaphosph8]

They need a replay official in an office somewhere or go find a 50" tv instead of the 10" monitor they seem to go consult

[Atlhogfan1]

Duke drove in the first half and Wisky had two fouls.  Coach K worked the officials and Grayson Allen did a great job of drawing contact in the second half. 

[phadedhawg]

Glad I'm not alone. I was shocked by some of the calls. If I were a badger I'd be livid

Drawing contact? That's funny Vaughn

Allen also pushed off and cleared out with his left forearm on every drive.

[revolution]

Duke is NOT the best team this year. It is SHAMEFUL what the officials did to that game. It really lessens my interest in college basketball. Just a sad state of affairs. Officials at most levels of sports are completely out of control and no longer serving the game!

[GolfNut57]

So where was the crying about the foul call discrepancy when it was Wisconsin that got called for very few fouls in the first half, 2 I think it was, when Duke was getting called for everything? FWIW, Duke was called for 13 fouls for the game while Wisky was called for just two more at 15. And Duke had two starting players with 4 fouls in Okafor and Winslow while Wisky only had one bench player called for 4 fouls. Don't see much favoritism for Duke there.

Funny how there is ALWAYS crying about the refs after every game when the team that wins isn't the one that the consensus wanted to win.

[Atlhogfan1]

   Enjoyable trophy presentation. 

[JIHawg]

Duke is flopping all over the place.  This is just too obvious.

What was the free throw discrepancy in the first half for Wisconsin? Minimal. What about the second half for Duke? Huge and ballgame. End of story. Officials decide the games.

And of you were a Blue Devil you would have been livid in the first half. No way Wisky only committed TWO fouls in the first half.

Nothing involving Mark Emmert is enjoyable

7-4 I believe. 

Flops 1-1 for the game.  Refs evened it up. 

[GolfNut57]

The Duke haters are out in force tonight. 

[revolution]

Will a non-traditional power ever win another championship? DOUBTFUL! Officials favor the brand!

[HogCzar1]

Coach K's comments at the half with Tracy Wolfson must have made their way to the officials. Duke got nearly every call in the 2nd half.

They totally missed Winslow stepping out of bounds, as well as touching the ball before it went out. I am sure that if we were in place of Wisconsin, we would be furious at the refs. They were not consistent throughout the tourney.

Having said that, Allen of Duke was the game MVP, and was outstanding. The big question for Wisconsin in the game was where was Dekker?

[N HOG]

Two games in Final Four....Dook 57 ft, Opponents 26. What more need be said?

Pretty sure FT differences are covered after every game. When you have one team aggressively attacking the basket vs the other team that passively attacks it then you are going to have FT discrepancies.

[hoglady]

Duke has been getting calls for the last 20 years.
What happened is nothing new.

[ronmahony]

Wisconsin has had it rough with officials, first it was the second half against Ky. Now Duke in the second half.

[onebadrubi]

And of you were a Blue Devil you would have been livid in the first half. No way Wisky only committed TWO fouls in the first half.

Wisonsin played very clean defense in the first half.  Wisonsin on the offensive side of the ball had a pretty fair game called.  It was when duke was on offense the 2h when the refs imposed their will.  Winslow was playing out of control 3 times he should (not could) have been called on charges (which fouls him out of the game) yet they gave him shooting block calls instead.  He also stepped and dribbled out of bounds.  The refs listened to coach K's constant whining and they let it alter their officiating. 

[HSVhogfan2]

Frank is the most protected guy in BB. Bodied up on Okafor every time and no calls. Okafor fouled him once and ended up with 4. It was a great game, Dekker just didn't shoot it like he'd been doing. If he has this game against UNC, they lose in the sweet 16. Wiscy had a helluva run.

Winslow was pushed.

Most fans who hate Duke - hate them because they've been the recipient of homer officiating for 2 decades.

At one point, a Badger's jaw fowled a Devil's elbow.

What a joke! Duke players out of control many times throwing themselves into defense were bailed out by officals. Wisconsin also drove and converted but no "and ones" as on the other end. Now Duke players did take advantage - that is true and to their credit. But officials covered their rears once Duke was down 9 and made sure they had a chance to stay in the game. Duke took what was handed to them.

[ronmahony]

Winslow was pushed? Lol, that dude charges every time he gets the ball.

[rude1]

This. Duke attacked the basket the whole game, only got a couple of calls in the first half and had to play with two of their best players in foul trouble most of the game.

[onebadrubi]

Frank is the most protected guy in BB. Bodied up on Okafor every time and no calls. Okafor fouled him once and ended up with 4. It was a great game, Dekker just didn't shoot it like he'd been doing. If he has this game against UNC, they lose in the sweet 16. Wiscy had a helluva run.

Lol you are just COMPLETELY wrong.  Okafor's 4th foul was a complete hack on Kaminsky's arm. 

[HSVhogfan2]

On the official review, usually if the spin on the ball does not change, or the ball doesn't change direction, the call is not changed. I thought Winslow touched as well, but has to be overwhelming evidence.

[Atlhogfan1]

Wisconsin had Duke on the ropes and couldn't knock them out.  Don't blame the officials because they missed shots, Frank missed multiple opportunities down the stretch and they couldn't stop Allen with Duke about to be knocked out.   

[GolfNut57]

Wisonsin played very clean defense in the first half.  Wisonsin on the offensive side of the ball had a pretty fair game called.  It was when duke was on offense the 2h when the refs imposed their will.  Winslow was playing out of control 3 times he should (not could) have been called on charges (which fouls him out of the game) yet they gave him shooting block calls instead.  He also stepped and dribbled out of bounds.  The refs listened to coach K's constant whining and they let it alter their officiating.

Personally I thought it was hilarious how the Wisky coach was whining early in the second half about his team being called for their 5th or 6th foul after they were only called for two in the first half. The Big 10 is known for playing physically in basketball and to see it cried about how they allegedly got screwed by the refs is ridiculous.

[HSVhogfan2]

Lol you are just COMPLETELY wrong.  Okafor's 4th foul was a complete hack on Kaminsky's arm.

I said one. That's the one. I didn't care who won, unlike most of this board.

[revolution]

Listen to Coach Bo Ryan. He knows his team got screwed!

[Atlhogfan1]

His third was a lot of ball. 

[hoglady]

Listening to Ryan post game right now.
He said it was the most physical game they've played all year. Said it was a shame the game was allowed to be played that way. Said his players are struggling with that right now.

[flippinhogmana]

all I can say is that Wisconsin got hosed by the officials, they were playing five on eight way too much of the time.

[GolfNut57]

Most fans who hate Duke - hate them because they've been the recipient of homer officiating for 2 decades.

We hear the same thing when it is KY in basketball and Bama in football.

[HSVhogfan2]

Listen to Coach Bo Ryan. He knows his team got screwed!

Chicken crap comments. Refs didn't beat them, they couldnt check #3, they couldnt open up the lead with Okafir on the bench.

[Razorback_Mack]

Bo Ryan agrees that the officials were horrible. I'm
sure the morons that disagree are on their knees for duke. Anybody that played in a boys club game know the officiating was a joke.

[onebadrubi]

I said one. That's the one. I didn't care who won, unlike most of this board.

Haha I was hoping to bait you into that.  Now you're show I just how wrong you are.  That wasn't the only OBVIOUS one
