Not sure of the timing of it, but at some point either just before that or just after that, either Cook or Thorton was absolutely thrown down by FSU's White (I believe after a made basket by the Seminoles). It was really blatant and in front of the refs and I couldn't believe it wasn't called. Anyone else see that one?
Good half on the road. Questionable officiating regarding who is allowed to be more aggressive but overall strong play from Duke. We absolutely cannot let them come out and get back in this thing.
I know you could say this about any one of our guys on a given night -- Austin or Seth in particular -- but, when Andre's in a rhythm, there aren't that many teams who can touch us. I'm now convinced, he's Larry Bird disguised as God.
What a half, Andre. All Day.

I'm sorry but the foul calls have not been equal.
Not able to watch the game but can someone explain to me how all of our bigs are in foul trouble while none of theirs are? Aren't they known as a physical team?
Someone look at the trip on Rivers that went uncalled and tell me these guys are calling an honest game. It is not happening.
That was not a foul whatsoever on Dawkins.
Fouls are really starting to mount up. This is going to be a very ugly 2nd half the rest of the way, imho.
We have got to get a stop and respond here. This is one of those crucial points.
And the trip happened 3 feet in front of the official, he saw it no doubt. Valentine has always had it out for Coach K, it is well known across college basketball. If Duke is going to win this game, Mason must come through in the last 10 minutes with some kind of impactful contribution
Don't usually comment on quality of refs but this is absolutely horrible...coach K has been unusually reserved about it...must know it won't work against valentine...reverse psychology
No call when snaer stepped rivers' ankle or tyler diving for the loose ball?
But I have faith in the refs (esp. T-valentine); they'll find a way to make a worse call
Can we please ask the playcaller to analyze this game? Thornton gets a foul for chasing a ball out of bounds but FSU doesn't get one for what just happened to Austin? UGH
I really don't care for complaining about officiating....BUT how can TT get called for diving for a loose ball and Rivers gets manhandled in the same fashion and NO CALL????
I challenge anyone who complains that we always get favorable calls.
