Soooooo.....if the ball was in the cylinder with 5 seconds to go, that was the exact time observed. You now just subtract the time that elapsed from that point until the ball went through the basket. Correct?

Now wasn't that easy?
As an official I agree with all these comments. However, as a basketball fan I throw up the BS flag and say Duke sure does have a lot of coincidental things go in their favor.

Do you think officials cheat for Duke?

Nice job BBR
BBR, It is good to see you in the Dukies corner ....I know it is tough for you, but I agree with everything you have said, and we all know that the officials don't cheat for the Dukies, and to suggest so calls into question any officials integrity...

Not in the Dookies corner, CM. In the officials corner.

How about those Arizona Wildcats from the great Pac-10, the best conference in the country!!!!!! Embarrassed at home by a bunch on Tar Babies, on national TV!

I can agree with you to some extent about the officials.

If you watched the game today I hope you noticed the officiating. There is nothing nobody could have done to help Arizonal today, but I hope you will agree that wasn't the best officiated game an ACC crew has done. I don't think I would feel too good about some of the calls in that game.

I hope we can talk about things like this; it isn't like we are saying these things in the stands with a whole bunch of fans around us.

I think you are then drinking the Kool aid. Because there are a lot of times Duke did not benefit from a call in some very big moments. I can think of when Indiana (your home state ) beat Duke and there could have been an argument there was a foul to a "star player" in the last couple of seconds.

Peace

I would never speak ill of Duke. Well, except maybe to say that their coach is a whiny little hemmorhoid. And... the Duke fans are pretty much the same also ......

Not all of us. I'm not little, no way, no how.

...and the school, itself, was essentially founded by what is arguably the most vile (legal) industry on the planet.

On another side note - 6 feet, unobstructed space off the endline? My rosy red backside. Ridiculous. Do all schools get to carry on with blatant disregard for NCAA rules, or just the upper tier of the "Big Time?"

(I'm all hopped up on multiple cold meds right now, so it's more difficult to mask my contempt for that coach and school at the moment.)

Gimme a ****ing break. So since Washington Duke owned a tobacco business and donated money to the university, that taints everything that has anything to do with the University.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy maroon.

Yes, if for no other reason, simply because I don't like Duke.

Well, just to help you with your ignorance, Duke University Medical Center is one of the leading medical facilities in the country. I've had several friends treated for cancer their. Most recently, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, a friend who hit a deer while riding his Harley was airlifted to Duke in critical condition, not expected to live. I spoke with him in church this morning.

Feel free to dislike their coach, team and fans. I do. But don't let the fanboy in you blind you to the fact that it is one of the finest universities in this country, just because one of their early contributors was a tobacco farmer. If that's the case, you might want to consider that you live in a country which achieved it's independence because of a few tobacco farmers, among others.

Easy there, BBR. Totally understood (and previously aware) on all accounts -- and very glad to hear about your friend.
