i like how you like repeating yourself

3/13/2009 3:14:58 PM

lol at that white stiff on GT hitting the side of the backboard from 5 feet away

3/13/2009 3:15:19 PM

It just repeated because TWW gave some error or something and posted it twice

3/13/2009 3:17:49 PM

did anyone see that ref counting during shumpert's free throw? its supposed to be 10 seconds, but i counted about 3 for every hand motion he did

3/13/2009 3:22:24 PM

The infamous last few seconds

RING THE FUCKING BELL

3/13/2009 3:40:30 PM

exciting shit going on here

3/13/2009 4:28:47 PM

Holy fuck how is that jump ball?

The holes get bailed out as usual.

3/13/2009 4:38:09 PM

darn

was rooting for GT

holy shit, one call went against UNC? call fucking john swofford right now, that's not right

3/13/2009 4:42:25 PM

i hope when duke gets some calls tonight you're just as upset

3/13/2009 4:45:34 PM

I'm just as upset when Duke gets ridiculous calls as UNC.

And I have yet to hear a single person defend that jump ball call.

3/13/2009 4:47:16 PM

i was talking to tschudi

i mean i could defend it, but would it really make a difference to any of you?

3/13/2009 4:49:21 PM

Lol how is that jump ball even remotely defendable?

3/13/2009 4:51:35 PM

yea, out of all people, tschudi shouldn't be the one to talk. We all know dook the notorious for having refs on their sides. Remember the dook/clemson game last year?

3/13/2009 4:52:16 PM

looks like a lot of ball to me

just sayin...

3/13/2009 4:55:30 PM

he has ONE hand on the ball. and his other hand is on the VT dude's back

and what does Duke have to do with this? i will fully admit that they benefit from calls.. i rarely see any UNC fan admit that though. without the refs, Duke probably wouldn't have won a few games (especially at NCSU last year, VT this year, maybe even not the 2001 nat'l championship (MD final 4 game)). but if UNC fans are being honest, they will admit that they got lucky today (and if we want to go back a few years, that "travel" call on Nova helped them get to the final 4)

looks like Hansbrough's right hand was holding the Tech player and keeping him from moving

just saying

3/13/2009 4:59:07 PM

He got mostly ball in the front, but he also had an arm in his back the whole time.

It wasn't nearly as egregious as some of the non-calls in the epic last night. Most notably Adrien's shot at the buzzer in one of the OTs and then Harris' at the end of one of the OTs too.

3/13/2009 4:59:34 PM

this is why i rarely bother

3/13/2009 5:02:53 PM

Lol, I remember when someone linked to a Duke message board and there was a 9 page thread devoted to hating teams who employ flops like Tyler Hansbrough does.

Reading that thread was almost surreal. It was like I was in some kind of parallel universe where everything was transposed... It was nuts.

3/13/2009 5:07:18 PM

http://aboverim.blogspot.com/2009/03/photos-of-hansbrough-jump-ball-call.html

3/13/2009 5:09:43 PM

Yeah, those photos show me exactly nothing. Anyone with two sets of eyes and a brain who saw it live knows he fouled him with his back arm... shit happens. It's over. Move on.

"One hand on ball does not equal jump ball."

Um, yes it does... if possession is split. Of course, one arm in the back also equals foul.

[Edited on March 13, 2009 at 5:12 PM. Reason : x]

3/13/2009 5:11:15 PM

One hand on ball does not equal jump ball.

Besides, Hansbrough is all over Thompson's back, so it's a foul no matter what.

3/13/2009 5:11:32 PM

Yeah, I think the foul actually occurred before that sequence of pictures even starts

It can in certain situations, you see it a lot on blocked dunks.

So many of their wins have come on bad calls. Two of their national championships were won on the other team's fluke fuck-ups, too: Webber calling the time out in the '93 final with 19 seconds left and Georgetown's Fred Brown making a beautiful pass to Worthy in the '82 final with 8 seconds left.

nc state shit

3/13/2009 11:37:57 PM

goddamit

3/13/2009 11:38:15 PM

That was horrible.

3/13/2009 11:38:25 PM

great d by duke at the end...rice doesn't even get a touch in the last few possessions

3/13/2009 11:38:34 PM

I was so hoping Duke lost.

Then I could say their retarded new jerseys are cursed, since they were 0-2 in them, and losing was a curse by God for this offense upon the eyes.

3/13/2009 11:40:20 PM

So are we looking at seven teams making it into the tournament?

3/13/2009 11:42:00 PM

UNC
Duke
Wake
FSU
Maryland
Clemson

BC?

3/13/2009 11:46:20 PM

^ i think that list is what it should be

3/13/2009 11:51:46 PM

Great game. Possible nym spotting at ev?

3/14/2009 12:21:58 AM

BC should make it before Maryland, and I'll be pissed if they don't.

Boston College has more wins, and they are one of only two teams in the conference to beat Duke and Chapel Hill.

[Edited on March 14, 2009 at 12:24 AM. Reason : ]

3/14/2009 12:23:22 AM

Ah, I obviously forgot they beat duke.

I just remember them dominating unc then choking against Harvard.

3/14/2009 12:32:04 AM

Hooray... None of the teams I wanted to win won on Friday... Looking to shape up to be another generic title game :-/

They aren't 0-2 in them. I think they have been wearing them all year. I remember they wore them against Florida State at Cameron (i was there!) and they won that game.

3/14/2009 1:50:58 PM

anyone else just lose the video?
