outside of bashing Paulus, I'm just ready for Duke to have a real big man. I don't expect much out of anyone until that happens.

So much in basketball is based off of who is around you. Without a big man to worry defenses, no one on Duke is going to do anything against the elite teams.

Officials whistling every breath near Lawson didnt hurt either.

About what I'd expect coming from a Duke fan...

Duke attempted and made more free throws in this game

Oh yeah...and they were whistled for an overwhelming 3 more fouls than UNC

They also went to the hole more. Nobody shot anywhere near as many as Lawson.

Gross fouls don't matter. The type of bailout trash that Lawson gets 2 fts for is a problem fir any visitor.

People who penetrate and get to the basket draw fouls...I imagine if Lawson played for Duke you'd be singing a differant tune...

But hey...I said the same kind of things about Duke and their best players for the better part of this decade

And that is the game.

The refs have been pretty one sided throughout this game. I know people do not want to hear that from a Duke fan. But people tend to forget that Roy and UNC are the ACC darlings, not Duke.

Maybe when they're playing each other but if they play anyone out of the ACC , then both schools hung the moon , and get all the calls . JMO:whistling:

Are you trying to say that Henderson didn't go the hole all freaking day? In fact, he probably went twice as much as Lawson and shot half the FTs.

Lawson is part of the reason UNC has the most NBA players, but won't cut down the nets - no d whatsoever.

BPV, before this argument goes too far.

Will "little brother" Plumlee be the big man Duke needs and what do you think Henderson will do at the end of season?

Plumlee, by default, has to be a huge leap from where they are today. They will be better if Henderson comes back.

He doesn't need the money, so be should come back, but some folks very close to the program think he's headed out.

by the way, I expect UNC to cut down some nets. It'll be next Sunday instead of the real ones a couple Mondays from now.

I've heard the same about leaving. Just hope Plumlee and Kelly can be a presence down low. I don't even think they need to be huge scorers. Just clam it up down there and get other people good looks. Having Henderson back to slash will be vital IMO.

Also, as of right now, Plumlee is better. Conditioning, possible continued growth and the ability to adapt from the HS game to the college one could change it.

I can agree. But it is both teams, not just Duke, people tend to just think it is Duke.

they also forget Dickie V loves whichever of them is the best at the moment. He's not just a Duke homer.

He should also be replaced by Knight as ESPN's number one color commentator. Whoever is third and fourth on ESPN's list should also get bumped ahead of him.

x2.

I actually enjoyed watching the game on CBS. The commentators were a little dull, but there was no Vitale. Duke can be up 56, and if a player from the other team drains a 3, he makes me feel like Duke is getting pounded.

I think Duke played well today. The lineup seems to be finding chemistry game by game. The ACC tournament should be fun.

I hate Duke, but I will say. Its probably two of the top ten most exciting regular season games every years. Usually a great game.

All due respect BPV...and I respect your opinion alot....if you're going to imply that officiating gave an unfair advantage to one team...specifically one player...you should get your facts straight first...

Henderson (FTM-FTA): 6-11
Lawson (FTM-FTA): 9-10
