Not sure how that was a block? Winslow was out of control and ran right over the guy.

A. The other player is in a Duke uniform.

Easy Mac · 04-06-2015, 09:57 PM

The Wisky player was stepping back

And just when I was going to say that today's referees give a lot of credit to having the ball Duke draws a charge. SO maybe that blue devil uniform comment has some merit.

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:03 PM

How was that not a charge?

Not commenting on the previous post, commenting on the non call on the Duke player that basically plowed right into the defender and knocked him down with no call.

Easy Mac · 04-06-2015, 10:06 PM

that was a charge. i guess the refs were giving him the benefit of the doubt on body control.

nol · 04-06-2015, 10:06 PM

Thought that last whistle was going to be on Jones for the NBA leg kick.

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:07 PM

There was no body control.

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:08 PM

Wasn't that off the Duke player? Would like to see a reverse angle replay on that one.

Easy Mac · 04-06-2015, 10:09 PM

i meant they had been attacking the rim with outstanding control for the majority of the game. i concede it was a charge. i just get the sense that the internet is making sure to plant the seeds for ref conspiracy

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:11 PM

That player was out of bounds...

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:14 PM

Some big time screw ups by the refs at the end of this one.

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:15 PM

Are you freaking kidding me?

tarcone · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

Refs havent made wiscy miss 11 out of the last 14.
I hate to see Duke win. Cmon Bucky

kingfc22 · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

Wow...Really

ColtCrazy · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

You have replay. You have the perfect look that his finger was on the ball. Nothing. Unreal. I'm just disgusted at the end of this game.

Easy Mac · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

refs need 46" tvs

miami_fan · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

Oh fuck

ColtCrazy · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

ball game. sigh.

Glengoyne · 04-06-2015, 10:16 PM

Duke has been really playing big D here. They will deserve it if they pull it off

I'm not a conspiracy guy but yeah. How is that duke ball?

Eaglesfan27 · 04-06-2015, 10:18 PM

Wow. Not over yet.

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:21 PM

Why were they wasting so much time there?

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:22 PM

That's the game...

Was hoping to post this, but I will anyway.

EagleFan · 04-06-2015, 10:23 PM

Ugh... That's why I wanted Kentucky to win once Duke won, they would have beaten Duke.

tarcone · 04-06-2015, 10:23 PM

That sucks.

mckerney · 04-06-2015, 10:23 PM

Nice! Great to see the season end with the good guys winning.

MrBug708 · 04-06-2015, 10:24 PM

Cue the Coach K > Wooden commentary

Glengoyne · 04-06-2015, 10:24 PM

One for the thumb.

I'd normally be very happy, but I really wanted Wisconsin to pull this one off.

ColtCrazy · 04-06-2015, 10:24 PM

Thought Wisconsin really let off the gas a little when Okafor went out with 4. Let Allen run wild. Good game, though, and I did say as long as Kentucky didn't win it I'd be okay.

Fonzie · 04-06-2015, 10:27 PM

Wisconsin blew it to be sure, but that replay call was simply inexcusable. Why have replay if the clear visual evidence is going to be shrugged off?

Unfortunately we saw that several times during this tournament. Where the replay showed the call was wrong but they didn't want to overturn their own call. The replays need to be viewed elsewhere (by someone who doesn't even know how it was originally called).

Lathum · 04-06-2015, 10:34 PM

Was pulling for Wisky but Coach K is a class guy and glad to see him add to his legacy.

Dutch · 04-06-2015, 10:45 PM

Not a fan of Duke, but they represent well. That trap D and perimeter defense was suffocating. Well executed. In any event, just gotta add...the intense emotion of college tourney basketball is unbeatable in sports. Another fantastic rollercoaster ride of a game.

nol · 04-06-2015, 10:49 PM

Duke has won all 5 of its titles in an "apolis" - 3 in Indy and 2 in Minny.

Kodos · 04-06-2015, 11:00 PM

Sorry, Badger fans. I was rooting for you. That's what probably doomed you. For what it's worth, this year's team was fun to watch.

Brian Swartz · 04-07-2015, 12:03 AM

I was pretty much wrong about everything from the Elite 8 on. Still was an excellent tournament.

RainMaker · 04-07-2015, 12:13 AM

Solid tournament. But college basketball still needs to adjust. Some really bad offensive basketball being played at that level these days.

Be careful what you wish for. I like to think it's because defense is still relevant. The different styles and approaches of college basketball are what makes it so great. Take away defense and it's a mini-NBA. Screw that.

MizzouRah · 04-07-2015, 06:29 AM

I thought I was going insane while I watched a guy's middle finger clearly touching a basketball repeatedly on replay while the commentary team repeated that there was no contact....

Didn't cost them the game though - Jones hit some real tough shots and Wisconsin didn't seem to play any kind of offense the last couple of possessions.

lungs · 04-07-2015, 08:06 AM

Great run, it's been fun to follow as a Wisconsin fan. Years back I complained that Bo Ryan's style was great for consistently getting in the tournament but would have trouble competing for championships other than the odd lucky run like Dick Bennett had in 2000. I guess I was wrong, but I'm happy to be wrong.

Tough loss, but great fun to watch.

Groundhog · 04-07-2015, 08:09 AM

Wisconsin play a great brand of basketball... They remind me of the pre-last title Spurs squad in the NBA in that they seem to have an unfair reputation of being "boring", despite playing solid, team basketball on both ends.

Easy Mac · 04-07-2015, 08:17 AM

If we can't complain about people saying F' Frank Kaminsky, can we at least talk about how classless Bo Ryan has been in his post-game comments?

chesapeake · 04-07-2015, 09:01 AM

I'm very happy with the result, but surprised how average Okafor was during the tournament. He had a number of moments where he showed glimpses of what he can do; but, for the most part, other guys won the games in this tournament. He'll have to become more assertive and physical if he is going to make it in the NBA.
