BigDT -
I understand your concerns abut the game, but let me tell you, fans and coaches lose all credibility on these matters when they accuse the officials of bias. Let's be honest here - do you honestly think all officials have money on these games? The problem was that the officials called so many fouls that it only exaggerates the non-calls on the floor. So, when you see a couple of contact non-calls on the Duke defensive end, it makes you angry because you believe everything is called on the Tech end.
Listen, I thought everyone had a bad night - players, coaches, and officials. Remember in the second half, referee Terry Moore missed a deliberate elbow to the face by a Tech player against Duke. Throughout the game, the players did not control and adjust their physical play; both coaches did nothing to bring their players under control; the officials struggled to bring the game down to a controllable level. I'm sure those officials (Edsall, Gordon, and Moore - all good guys and good officials) look back and wish they had a few extra calls here and there. But there was no bias from the officials against Tech. It's just silly to suggest otherwise.
