I wonder whether the referees of this game would be more willing to admit they fixed this game than admit they called it as bad as they did. Just like Billy Packer they fell victim to the Duke Blue Devils. I could cite so many awful calls this crew made. To take Baxter out of the game on such a shady call is bogus. Yes, as the old cliche goes, the officials unfortunately decided this game. Thanks!
I strongly disagree that the officials "decided the game" because they never do, but I do agree with you about the fifth foul on Baxter. On the replay he was definitely trying to gain position, but his actions didn't warrant a whistle. The fact that it was his fifth just adds salt to the wound.
