I watched most of it, but not all. My only complaint about the officiating, if I may be so bold, was that Ted Valentine confused the heck out of me on one of his OOB calls. He was the lead official and the ball squirted OOB over the endline, but across the lane from him. He came across and then proceeded to point both directions several times. He was obviously trying to tell us which player had touched it last: "Off you, going this way, off you, going this way!!"
But to anyone who was not standing right next to him, it looked like "Maryland, no Duke! No, Maryland! No, Duke!
It was probably the right call, I couldn't tell from my couch, but the signal was awful.
