[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 25204, member: 932"] First of all, I can't find any stats to support this... ...but this Duke bias with regards to fouls has got to stop. I know that I'm conditioned to hate them, so it's hard to see through a clear lens, but no one can play defense that aggressively and have as few fouls called as they do. I thought the new hand check rules would help, but they seem to be immune to them. Here's some of the crap I saw tonight (haven't watched a replay, so I could be wrong...) [LIST=1] [*]Miller goes up for a dunk, gets smacked on the wrist and loses the ball, no foul...viewed as a block [*]Scramble for loose ball. We have it, Duke player ties up the ball...ball is held for a few seconds, no call...Duke player rips the ball away for a steal...may not have been a foul, but at the very least it needed to be a jump ball. If I recall the situation correctly, it looked like there were a couple tie ups during that sequence [/LIST] Meanwhile any graze of a Duke player while they are in the air results in a shooting foul. I understand that better players know how to draw fouls, but some of this stuff is so blatantly missed that it just drives me crazy. The only time of year where it seems to go the other way is when they get into the NCAA tournament...then the games seem to be called more fairly when it's not an ACC crew that K has made his b#&*@...and then they lose to Lehigh... Not trying to make excuses, because we aren't going to win until our offense improves. Just saying that we don't exactly need help losing to them... [/QUOTE]
