I thought it was a very well called game…. The two calls against Plav…. First one he jumped at the shooter with his arm stretched outward toward the shooter… that will draw a foul the majority of the time if you land in the shooters space like he did…. The second Plav call he threw his right arm up near the head area… they stopped it to make sure he didn’t make contact with the head…. Old rules… I doubt it gets called…. No one has shown me video of the ref making the call on roach and changing it… that one I may be willing to buy as questionable… can’t remember the santi potential foul….. if they were wanting to screw us… they could have called a blocking foul on ON. I would love to have that crew do the rest of our games…We were more physical but that doesn't mean they didn't foul us. Many times this year the other team was more physical but we got called for more fouls. Plav got a call defending s three for literally touching the guys fingers after the ball was gone. The very next time down the court Vescovis arm was hit on a 3 before his release with no call. Same with Plav on the block. He got called for an offensive foul for backing his defender down. The very next time down the court their big did the same thing and ON got called for the block. They helped Duke all they could including changing a call to keep their point guard in the game.
I think your points are valid, but we did win.....We were more physical but that doesn't mean they didn't foul us.

I can't show the video of it either, but the ref making tje foul call signaled Roach's number to the scorer's table. Roach and another Dookie started lobbying to the ref. Shortly thereafter, the change was made. Also, I truly believe the two quck fouls on Uros were a blessing in disguise. Duke's younguns knew then it was going to be tough for them.I thought it was a very well called game…. The two calls against Plav….

No college basketball game is going to be completely clean bc it is too fast with extremely high level athletes.
