Watching college gameday this morning, and essentially the commentators are saying TN won over Duke because it was poor officiating, saying it was the worst officiated game they have seen. Also saying that refs let the game get too physical.

What call did they not get?

Should have called a flop on that dookie that got grazed by the basketball from Vescovi and acted like he stepped on a mine.
They embellished those elbows from Plavsic too, though they were undoubtedly legitimate fouls. Wonder if the talking heads are mad that Aidoo didn't get a flagrant for Filipowski running his face into his elbow.

Yep. Duke has always done quite well embellishing, a trademark of that program.

But he might be right, next team maybe should bring helmets , cause Duke just showed bringing tampons doesn’t work.

They are just mad because their teams and conferences are getting squashed.

I usually don't buy into the "ESPN hates us" narrative, but that segment was obnoxious. Seth and Bilas both looked like they'd eaten something distasteful.
Bilas, who was the best college basketball analyst in the game by far, has become absolutely obnoxious. He bought into his own hype and has become such a Duke homer he has ruined his credibility.
