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!

Maryland had their opportunites and didn't take advantage of them. I guess the officials accounted for Maryland shooting 34% from the field and 62% from the FT line in the second half. The probably also caused Maryland to turn the ball over 14 more times than Duke too. They even out rebounded Duke 50 to 34 and still couldn't win. No team should ever lose a game that they're up 22 points on.

You sound like a whining fan. $10 says you aren't an official. Go join the other whiners at http://www.accboards.com
What is your point? I was talking about the officiating and you're talking about statistics. Besides, in half of your reply, you're pointing out how poorly Maryland played and the other half you're talking about how they should have won because they outplayed Duke (by outrebounding them.) No I'm not an official but I have every right to make a comment here. Makes sense that you are considering you made no sense in your reply. No team that has a lead of 22 should lose? You're right there, unless the other team receives some help from the officials.
