Based on phantom and ticky tack fouls on Miami and no calls on Duke.

The fact that the free throw attempts were even before Duke went ahead by 2 or 3 possessions late in the game says otherwise. But who am I to get in the way of a long established narrative?

Free throw attempts being even don't indicate the game was called correctly. But go ahead and see through blue glasses.

But it does indicate it was called fairly and consistently. I think most that participate regularly in thread would say I call it like I see it.The referees didn’t decide the game, Miami not taking advantage of their chances at the line did.

Miami certainly did not help themselves. Even free throw attempts says nothing about how well a game is called. If one team actually fouls 40 times and the other team 10 times, and they both get the same number of fouls called and free throw attempts that's not good officiating.
Anyway, enjoy the win.

Part of the "art" of playing basketball is knowing how the refs call ****. If it's close to a wash then good job by both coaches. To pretend otherwise is ignorant.

Agreed. While selfishly I like having more games here in NYC, anywhere in North Carolina is a much better venue for the ACC Tournament. Barclays is generally sterile and emotionless for this

I take this back, Barclays had a much better atmosphere than I remember for both games tonight. (Of course, it is the semifinals.) Still think NC is a better host location though

In itself that's true but I don't see where it has much to do with refs calling one team for things they don't call on the other.

Look, I don’t agree with EasternVol that Duke got favorable treatment from the refs. However, the number of fouls or even free throws being equal doesn’t necessarily mean that a game was called correctly, evenly or consistently. It just means that the total number of fouls that were called on each team were the same. One of those teams could have theoretically committed many more fouls that went uncalled.

Carolina played poorly last night. They’re not good this year. They’re really inconsistent, and their margin of error is much smaller than Duke’s this season.

I agree in terms of #’s. More than anything, I was referring to last nights game. I thought the officials let them play for the most part . I thought they maybe tightened up a bit on Miami because they were playing very physical on their hedges with the high ball screen.

Couldn’t rebound against a MEAC team

It was unbelievable. Duke lost almost every loose ball or contested rebound. Hats off to VT, they’re playing very good ball right now . Duke on the other hand, is playing the worst they’ve played all season.
