Watched the entire game - it was a nightmare game for the officials. A perfect storm for a bad game, Tech trying to prove they were not intimidated by Duke for the first time and playing extremely physical; Duke playing intense and doing alot of trash talking after the physical play; Tech's coach Seth Greenburg convinced he's getting homered; Coach K working the refs because he feels Tech's guys are playing out of control; and the game was a 35 point blowout. Officials couldn't make enough calls. Steve Gordon got Greenburg in the first half and then ejected him with about 5 minutes to go. Needless to say, Greenburg told him he was a joke as he left the floor and if my lip reading was decent, something along the lines about how he won't be seeing him again. No official, no matter his skill level, could've made that game managable. It happens from time to time.
