Wake's best seasons over the last 40 years never saw a Final Four, which was last accomplished in 1962.
Dear Lord. Those guys were so racist they were pissed off their shadows were black.You beat me to it. I was at that game in the Checkerdome! Joe B. Hall caught a ton of grief after the game at Stan Musial's.
A group of older, well-lubricated Wildcat fans were bemoaning the fact that "the Baron woulda done it with white boys".
Mr. Skowron is in orbit over the second article.
LOL at "Chief's refs" as if there is only one chief. English optional in W-S?
It was when I was in college. And I’m 41I really hate away games at Wake. I can't remember the season, it wasn't terribly long ago. The refs fouled out Duke's entire starting 5 or 4 of the 5. It was insane.
I feel like Duke starts slow, locks in on D mid to late 1Q. Holds a small lead at HT. They come out in the 2nd locked in and hitting some 3's to extend. Wake makes a run late in the 2Q to close the gap. Duke locks down again, hit's a few timely shots and closes it out with FT's to pull away by 10.
I'm 46 and it feels like only a few seasons ago. Time flies!It was when I was in college. And I’m 41
Want to say we lost that game in overtime.I'm 46 and it feels like only a few seasons ago. Time flies!

Ah, you beat my to it! Ignore my duplicate post downstream.
We committed ten more fouls than them, but I don’t know how much to attribute that to “home cooking” at Wake Forest. We shot 31 three pointers (making only 10 of them), while Wake took only 10 three pointers (making 3 of them)I really hate away games at Wake. I can't remember the season, it wasn't terribly long ago. The refs fouled out Duke's entire starting 5 or 4 of the 5. It was insane.
Since fouls had such an impact in the Tuesday game with the Cheats, anyone know where the ACC referee assignments are posted and how soon before game time that is available? Thanks.
The live stats link will go active about 30 minutes before the game, and the Notes/Docs tab will list the officials.
As soon as it’s available, I post the info in DBR Chat, and let you know what Duke’s win-loss record is this season for each assigned ref.
Ted Valentine....oh boy....Actually, it was an hour before tipoff. According to StatBroadcast, the officials for this game are Ted Valentine, Eric Lewis, and Matt Potter.
Valentine and Potter have not officiated any previous Duke games this season. The Blue Devils are 3-0 (Incarnate Word, Virginia Tech, Notre Dame) when Eric Lewis works a game.
I'm ok with him. He's good at tamping down players' emotions and keeping things from getting dangerously chippy.Ted Valentine....oh boy....
