If the fucking NCAA doesn't move the 3 point line back at least a foot fuck this game. All duke did was jack 3s the entire game. The ENTIRE game.

I'm so sick of college b-ball games deriving down to just jacking 3s

i honestly think i am having a heart attack right now. this sucks

"On May 3, 2007, the NCAA men's basketball rules committee passed a measure to extend the distance of the men's three-point line a foot back to 20 feet, 9 inches (6.32 m). The rule is subject to further approval by an NCAA oversight committee, which is considered likely by coaches and players. If the measure passes, the usage of the new 3-point line will begin with the 2008-09 seaso"

i thought the 3pt line move was common knowledge. but then again







this is ncsu ppl we are talking about

3/1/2008 2:31:26 PM

i knew it was under review jackass, that's why I said a foot - but it hasn't passed quite yet.

And dude, yeah we jacked a couple, but if you compare our points in the paint to theirs, and seen the way that trend was going, i'd much rather the game stay in there. Dude just like every game duke plays, the 2nd half is always ball screen for 3 jack. Every fucking time.

I'm not saying it's unfair dude, I'm saying I'm tired of watching it. My favorite element of basketball is the dribble drive and inside play.

3/1/2008 2:34:41 PM

this one hurts, but damn if im not pumped about some of the guy's performances. Ferg, Tracy Smith, and Javi were the reasons we were in the game at all. All three are all young, and should all be here for at least three more years.

I like the fact the Sid is finally starting to realize how worthless Johnson and Horner are. Seriously, those two guys never need to play again.

3/1/2008 2:35:49 PM

Very questionable decision electing not to foul with 40 seconds. This is a tough loss to stomach.

3/1/2008 2:36:59 PM

The pump fake by horner when he had a wide open layup was the height of absurdity. Two feet from the basket, pump fakes, no one comes, bricks the layup

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 2:38 PM. Reason : Could he play any more like a pussy white boy. You are 6-7 asshole. just dunk it]

how about the walk in the open court. damn i hate horner right now. but i hate johnson more

3/1/2008 2:39:49 PM

i hate the no call that leveled our guy before the intentional foul...i know he missed both FT's, but still...

3/1/2008 2:41:44 PM

last points in the game and first Duke lead in 2nd half were on a hook. If the game isn't going to be fair why play it?

3/1/2008 2:41:50 PM

Too bad that sorry fucker of a ref who called that "foul" won't be repremanded for it.

Not a questionable decision at all....

YOU HAVE TO FOUL.

You know Duke is going to take a shot with one, maybe two seconds left on the shot clock. They either make a shot and you're down by three (or four)...and you have five, maybe six seconds to go the length of the court and shoot a contested three...OR....they miss the shot, it takes you a couple seconds to secure the rebound and then you have three seconds to get off any shot whatsoever with everyone running around like a chicken with their head cut off.


YOU HAVE TO FOUL IN THAT SITUATION. THIS ISN'T THE NBA SIDNEY...YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE A TIMEOUT AND GET THE BALL AT HALFCOURT. FUCKING HORRIBLE COACHING DECISION.

AND HOW DO YOU LOSE A ONE-POINT GAME TO THE #6 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY AND STILL HAVE TWO TIMEOUTS LEFT AT THE END OF THE GAME. USE YOUR FUCKING TIMEOUTS SIDNEY.

every replay they've shown on tv now has failed to show that horrible hook/travel that gave dook the undeserving win.........typical

FUCK DOOK

3/1/2008 2:53:11 PM

Oh my god. The more I read the more I understand what took place today.

3/1/2008 2:55:36 PM

You do not foul. We got the ball with five seconds on the clock. You do call the timeout. I am still surprised that no timeout was called after the missed shot. Hell maybe there was one and Coach K told the refs to ignore it... Wouldn't really be that surprising.

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 3:01 PM. Reason : sdafa]

3/1/2008 2:59:58 PM

3/1/2008 3:09:08 PM

duke got the lead off a terrible foul call on big ben when it should have been a hook

they won because of those FT's

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 3:13 PM. Reason : t]

3/1/2008 3:12:43 PM

so we only lost by a point...damn this woulda been big

3/1/2008 3:12:59 PM

The last points in the game came from a foul called on Mccauley. When you see the play Nelson wraps his arm all the way around Mccauley and travels! Nelson then hits his freethrows and those are the last points of the game.

3/1/2008 3:13:31 PM

Great game by us until the last few minutes. That was a lame foul call to give Duke the lead, but an even worse call by Sidney not to foul. If we foul the worst that happens is down by 3 w/ like 30 seconds left to get a play set up.

3/1/2008 3:13:58 PM

yes, the refs blew the 11 point lead for us...it was all their fault!

3/1/2008 3:15:13 PM

^^So best case scenario we force overtime with GG fouled out and Fells having four and most of our players in foul trouble

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 3:16 PM. Reason : ladsf]

3/1/2008 3:15:44 PM

It all started when Paulus took that shot to the eye. After that the refs were wearing blue.

Except for not kicking Costner out for the horsecollar on Thomas.

They just waited till the last minute to call that one.

There were missed opportunities throughout the game for both sides. It just happened that we got a bad call (or lack thereof) at exactly the wrong moment to swing it their way.

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 3:18 PM. Reason : :]

3/1/2008 3:16:45 PM

^^^ that's what I'm getting at (assuming you're being sarcastic)

Was this like, fuel up the chainsaw and find those refs, or was it mostly State being State? I need to know what mental condition I should be in right now.

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 3:17 PM. Reason : ]

3/1/2008 3:17:26 PM

Costners foul was NOT a horsecollar and it was started on a football move by duke in which Gonzalez was flipped over by contact.

3/1/2008 3:17:37 PM

we let them back in the game with several wide open 3's but the last 2 points that gave dook the lead were completely BS

Nelson traveled and hooked McCauley all in the same play and a cheap foul on Ben was called. We should have fouled so that we could have had the ball back to set something up but the refs handed dook the one point lead.

3/1/2008 3:20:58 PM

My point is that Thomas hit the floor hard, and that's what everyone saw.

3/1/2008 3:21:43 PM

This is probably for the better - lighning does not strike twice...now we have a shot at beating them in the ACCT, from a karmic perspective.

3/1/2008 3:23:22 PM

There was no way they could have thrown Costner out for that. He made a play for the ball but was to aggressive with the swipe. YOU DO NOT FOUL BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT OVERTIME. Five seconds is more than enough to get up a decent shot. A timeout should have been called but I think that Lowe was trying to make sure duke couldn't set up their D.

3/1/2008 3:25:29 PM

Also, Paulus has testicles in his mouth.
