Noles fans were 2.8 seconds away from storming the court. Cam made sure it was cancelled.
I was at the game. Sat across from the Duke bench. What a game! Glad I didn’t have to witness a court storming.
Too much fouling? There were only 29 fouls called throughout... Let me rephrase for you—too many uncalled fouls. As one who tends to try to not look through Duke blue glasses during games, the officiating in this game was pretty embarrassing. Games at FSU tend to be very physical affairs, but I was stunned at some of the no-calls this afternoon. Zion spending a half on the bench? If this were the NBA, that crew wouldn't work a game for quite some time...
Tre didn't have a top flight game, but that has a lot to do with how well coached FSU is under Robinson, particularly in these situations, when the game is being called very loose so they can be very physical. Cam was absolutely amazing this afternoon!

Speaking of TV Ted, do we think Dickie V realizes that's being used by everyone else as a pejorative?

2pt%: 46.3% (2nd worst two-performance of the season, after the Gonzaga game (44.1%))
%threes: 36.9% (in light of the two numbers above, I'm cool with this number)
FT rate: 23.1% (lower than we should be, for the third straight game (i.e., all conference games so far)
OR%: 40.5% (very impressive against a big FSU team and with no Zion for half the game)
TO%: 19.4% (third less-than-good TO performances in our last four games)
a/to: 1:1
%assisted: 46.7%
fast break pts: 21 fb pts for 26.3% (this was basically the ball game)
DEFENSE
dRtg: 1.08 (adjusted that's 0.99, not great but I guess acceptable)
eFG%: 46.8% (ditto)
3pt%: 32.0%
2pt%: 45.9% (not great, but not bad, considering they had 10 dunks)
%threes: 40.3% (we let them take a lot of threes; lucky they didn't hit so many)
FT rate: 38.7% (pretty high but not too horrible)
DR%: 52.8% (our worst defensive rebounding performance of the season, by a lot)

%assisted: 64.0%

block%: 4.8%; 8.1% of 2-point shots (not great, but it's hard to block dunks)
steal%: 9.7% (second straight only so-so game, compared to our season steals performance)
We couldn't grab a defensive rebound (though we can't blame Marques this time, he led the team with 4 d-boards), and we hit a lot of threes (including the big one at the end). That about sums it up.
Yep. And when Seth Greenberg did the Duke highlights during the Kansas game halftime, they did it again. They presented the highlight as the refs gave FSU the ball, but "the call was overturned and the ball given to Duke." Greenberg literally said "when you coach against Duke calls like that tend not to go your way." Pathetic. The ball was obviously Duke's on the replay. But Duke gets all the calls Duke-hate controversy gets more clicks.
and, in the acc, they'll get extra assignments...
We won. I'm happy so I'll I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this. and moan less and there have been worse reffed games down there but you can't have 2 standards calling a game depending on which team has the ball.
