Zion threw himself into him all game.. it eventually worked. I think we saw a precursor to his nba career.. Zion looked small today, but duke made enough plays to win.Zion could foul out Fall in 5 drives but they won’t call it
Is Chris Collins no longer the heir apparent for his magical turnaround of Northwestern?Really difficult follow. Can’t fault Dawkins. Man, that missed dunk....
Johnny D now the frontrunner for K’s job? That was a hell of an effort.
Wake Forest deja vuSuch a Duke fucking ending. Zion screws up the FT but they get the bucket and then UCF has two good chances and doesn’t convert.
Of course he was, Jones is the king of getting away with hand and body contact. But you're not getting a call v. Duke in that spot.Thought the UCF player was fouled on the drive to the basket.
Also didn't box out on the Barrett offensive rebound.Tough game end for Dawkins, he was great 99% of the game, but just missed a jumper, didn't convert on the lob, and then just off on the tip.
Zion scored 32 points, or 42% of his team's total. He didn't look that small.Zion threw himself into him all game.. it eventually worked. I think we saw a precursor to his nba career.. Zion looked small today, but duke made enough plays to win.
Probably could have called a pushing foul on the offensive rebound on the Zion miss tooThought the UCF player was fouled on the drive to the basket.
He got pushed under the basket with two hands. Should have been a foul. I understand not calling it there but he did get pushed.Also didn't box out on the Barrett offensive rebound.
I thought that initially too but watching the replay I didn't really see an egregious push.He got pushed under the basket with two hands. Should have been a foul. I understand not calling it there but he did get pushed.
I can’t believe that tip didn’t go in.
I'm going to use your post as a jumping off point for a rant... Has Barrett ever boxed anyone out? Seriously. He is strong Wiggins. Never does anything off the ball. It's like the idea of these non-Zion Dukies is better than the reality and peeps can't figure that out. Barrett is a waste at the next level.Also didn't box out on the Barrett offensive rebound.
To be fair, had the refs not somehow swallowed their whistle on what would have been Tacko's 4th on Zion with 12 min to go he wouldn't even have been in the game and there likely wouldn't have been any end of game chance to win. That one blown call was like 4x more crucial to this game than any other individual missed call.How that didnt drop for ucf is beyond me.
Duke got bailed out by several non calls on that last Zion play / rebound
I don’t think Dawkins boxed out hard but he did put himself between the hoop and Barrett, and with two hands Barrett pushed him a good four to five feet under the other side of the basket. Either it was a harder shove than you think or Dawkins completely gave up for some unknown reason. Or he’s a total wuss. I think the last two options are least likely.I thought that initially too but watching the replay I didn't really see an egregious push.
Johnny would probably be 60 by that time.Really difficult follow. Can’t fault Dawkins. Man, that missed dunk....

Everybody looks small with Fall in the game. I loved that one of the key plays was Zion going at Fall and converting, giving up a foot of height. Classic unstoppable force/immovable object matchup.Zion scored 32 points, or 42% of his team's total. He didn't look that small.
Well it clearly hit the rim. And then Tacko’s 5th wasnt a foul. So, no? The zion drive / pushoff / tacko bad call / no call on the rebound / 2 ucf shots rimming out was a very lucky sequence. And shit im rooting for duke and recognize this.Was Duke lucky when they didn’t get the break on Tacko’s blatant 4th foul or the shot clock violation that led to an immediate bucket? Both teams got unlucky, both teams got lucky.
Ball 1000% did not touch the rim. Rotation or direction of the ball never changed.Well it clearly hit the rim. And then Tacko’s 5th wasnt a foul. So, no?

It clearly rotated back towards the board after skimming off the rim.Ball 1000% did not touch the rim. Rotation or direction of the ball never changed.
Might of worn out that mojo.Congrats to VTech on their nice comeback win against Liberty.
No, they didn't. Have some respect for kids playing hard.Liberty played the last minute to cover the 9.5.
Smooth win. Now face a 12 or 13 seed in sweet sixteen. Doesn’t set up much better than that.This is quintessential UVA tonight.
