There was clearly questionable calls on Big Baby . They did not call the game consistent with Big Baby and Williams at all. Williams was allowed alot of contact and Big Baby was whistled if he even touched a guy.

It was not as bad as some Duke games i have seen but this game was played 5 on 8. The thing was LSU just outplayed both Duke and the refs.

But the Paulus contact was before the shot. Since TT got two free throws on the play that meant the foul was on the shot. The only contact on the shot was Sheldon Williams. They were keeping Sheldon in the game.

The "charge" on BB was a flop. The only contact between BB and the defender was BB's forearm on his leg. There was literally air between them.

Tyrus was inbounds by a good 2 inches.

Those were the only blatant bad calls I saw, but blatant bad calls aren't the problem. In basketball very few plays are 100%. What duke gets are calls that are iffy but would normally either go uncalled or be in the other team's favor. Therefore, the calls are easily defended by saying, "See he did make some contact." That doesn't make it any less BS, and it is a result of K's stature and using this stature to work over the ref's in ways that other coaches can't get away with.

Even their players are able to whine to officials where in college that will get you a tech quite often.

They could have been in the bonus which would have given them either a 1 and 1 or 2 shots. I can't remember what the foul situation was but the other kid clearly hacked him on the arm before Williams fouled him. Trust me! After all I am a BB official!:yelwink2:
