Down goes duke

[gator7_5]

Maryland rushed the court because coach K ripped them apart in the media before the game. Saying they are in the middle of ACC country, but now since they left, Duke will never play them again, and that Maryland will be lost, blah, blah, blah.

It was personal to those fans.

Thats my opinion anyway.

According to the box score, Maryland shot 34 FTs, Duke 21. How favorable to Duke could the refs have been?

If Ryan Kelly and WY come back, Florida matches up very well with Duke. Young would really bother Plumlee if he plays smart, Florida would probably have a strong rebounding advantage and an athletic advantage in the back court that would really cause Duke problems.

Getting a #1 seed in a region with Duke as the #2 seed would be a good draw. But Duke won't even make it to the Elite 8 so its mostly a moot point.

So will they now be ranked #1?

Wouldn't be the first time.

You had to watch to understand. Md took it to Duke all game and in the last 5 minutes, when Duke got down 10, the calls changed.

Yup...the refs were clearly keeping Duke in it late. Just watch that so-called "charge" called on UMD. Ridiculous.
