To DUKE!!! ACC!!!
Screw that! Wisconsin got robbed plain and simple. When Wisconsin got that 9 point lead in the 2nd half, the fouls were about even. Then all of a sudden, every time Duke drove to the goal the whistle blew. On the other end, there was no whistle every time Duke was holding Dekker and Kaminski. In a seven minute stretch, the refs called 7 fouls on Wisconsin and 2 on Duke.
UK fans have nothing to bitch about when it comes to the refs after this game. I give praise to Jones and the Allen kid for they made some big shots. However, the game turned when the refs decided that Duke was fouled when they drove to the goal. That's why late in the game on the baseball pass Jones went for the layup instead of pulling it out. He was getting the foul call all night.
I love being in the ACC but I will never pull for Duke. The one thing I have in common with UK fans is my disdain for Duke. Wisconsin deserved to win the title tonight. It's damn shame that they have to fall victim of Coach K's intimidation of the refs. Man on man how I wish the 2013 Cards could have played this team again. We would have wiped them off the court again.
