MBB: Duke @ Louisville (Tue, Feb 12, 9pm ET, ESPN) Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

"Let em play" refereeing makes for ugly ugly basketball. Personally, I'd rather watch 50 trips to the free throw line for each team.

Louisville fans around us cheering Zion limping. Keep it classy guys.

Loovil fans classy? LOL. Buncha cretins.

10 minutes and finally a loovill foul. We're getting assaulted on our drives.

Should be very tough game, lower scoring than most imo. We could be a little tired after UVA. We always take best shots.

Including the Iditarod holding an upside down "Zion can't dunk" sign. SMH.

Fatigue is showing, but think Louisville may have expended too much energy, with little to show for it.

Expect 2nd half to look better for team in white.

I think we've done our fair share of assaulting Cardinals as well. I know lots of people complain about too many fouls slowing down the game but if this is the result than tweet away sir stripes.

Not sure I'm seeing Tre Jones "napping on defense" as the commentator is indicating.

If it’s a foul, call it!

True, relative to a normal game, they’re not calling much on us... but they’re almost literally not calling ANYTHING on Louisville... this game has been physically played thus far... ya gotta blow a few whistles, if for no other reason than to keep the athletes from killing one another...

If Javin moves during a screen, it will be called.

Louisville has 1 foul in 17 minutes?? That seems kinda crazy.

Its like the 2013 game in the tournament. If the refs ain’t calling they will keep slapping.

[devildeac]

Mugged again going into lane=no call

Not crazy. Impossible.

Especially if you are watching the game.

[gocanes0506]

The boys are asleep right now.

[AGDukesky]

Had a bad feeling about this one. Officiating was awful last time we played here and absolutely determined why we lost.

[WHOneedsSOX]

The old calling fouls at the end of the half to make it more even trick...

Duke's going to have to find a way to get some better shots in the second half. Too many bad 3's.

[Papa John]

If Javin moves during a screen, it will be called.

To be fair, that was a foul... Javin was moving... that said, it’s ridiculous that Louisville, in such a physical game thus far, has been whistled for a single foul in an entire half. That’s absolutely, unequivocally, empirically ridiculous...

And as I type this, foul number 2 is called... wonders shall never cease...

[devildeac]

Not crazy. It's either incompetent or dishonest. Or both. This is un @#$%ing believable.
