CBS is wrong. lol. But, you were just reporting, so that's fair enough.

Agree and disagree.
Duke will be a team to watch in the tournament and can be scary. But if they get down big or early and the 3's aren't falling, they are done. Especially if the offense decides to go away from Parker like they have in the past. No reason why he shouldn't have the ball in his hands.
On the other hand, if they are hitting their 3's, it will be scary for the opposing team. They will probably end up the #2 seed in Nova and Iowa States bracket (Currently what Bracketology has them). Which I think Duke will be the favorite in. That region isn't the strongest, featuring teams like UCLA, Saint Louis, Oregon, Baylor, etc. Only real threat IMO would be Louisville and Nova.

This Duke team is the least reliant on the 3-ball I've seen in a while, and what you said is still true. lol.

Yup. Idk what to expect from them really. They could be a Final 4 team or a team that loses on opening weekend. No bias either lol

Yea,Duke is ranked about 7th right now, they would probably be a 2. If they win the tourney, then definitely a 2.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I feel like that can apply to a lot of good teams. This is where the madness comes in.

Duke survives against Clemson (who beat Duke earlier this year)...53-52. Great defensive play by Thornton to seal the win. Parker struggled from the field, Hood got sick around halftime. Dawkins/Cook didn't play very much.

He threw a pen/marker at feat of his own seat away from officials?
Yep. That's worthy of a technical, in the NCAA, in a conference tournament game.

It's unsportsmanlike and it should be penalized. You can't call an ordinary foul on a coach, so you call a technical. What difference does the game make?

Mental Note: You're not allowed to call technical fouls on a coach for unsportsmanlike behavior in a tournament game.

He works them as much as all the top coaches. But, I never said there was anything wrong w/ it. I simply said no one knew why he was T'd.
Yup. That's a weak T. But, whatever.
If you want to play by the letter of the law, every coach should be T'd up by leaving the box. They all do it. I know you're a Duke hater, and that's fine, but you think throwing a marker at the bottom of your own chair is worthy of a T?

El Oh El. Me being a 'Duke Hater' has little to do with this, and more to do with me being a referee. I'm not going to pretend to know the NCAA basketball rule book, but I imagine the phrase "drawing prolonged attention to oneself," or some variation falls under technical fouls.
I would imagine if the call went against UVA we'd hear something about the refs being brave enough to make that call.

Nope.
FTR I hate Duke, I just don't like officials interjecting themselves in that manner.
