Another mix up in last night's games was the call in the Duke/MSU game in which Shelden Williams dunked it home, it cleared the cylinder and popped out. Packer and Nantz were quick to say it was a hoop as initally called by the refs, but they did a great job of backtracking once the refs took the 2 points off the board. I hate Packer. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: bfg 's message, "I'm delighted that 'Nova lost. I've never liked them and there's no way I'm rooting for a Jay Wright coached team. That being said, the kid didn't walk. Lundquist and Rafferty thought he did but a closer look showed only 2 steps. The studio crew disagreed w/ the call as did many reporters in today's papers. So much for the entire nation seeing it your way." on Sat March 26, 2005 10:42:44

I thought it was a hoop but Duke's TO's cost them the game not that call. How about the clock oerator not starting the clock on the inbound at the end of the 1st half!!! Unreal. At least the refs got that call right. It looks like A-10 teams aren't the only ones w/ refing problems. (NT) -- bfg, Sat March 26, 2005 11:16:52
- I've never seen a Duke team committ so many turnovers like that. You are right bfg, that is what cost them the game. They may have had some sloppy ballhandling and crappy passing, but I think the refs let a lot go. Ewing and Redick were getting hacked a lot of those steals. It was weird to see Duke not get the calls like they usually do. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Sat March 26, 2005 11:31:10
  - you're right about the refs. I thought it was a pretty physical game and the refs let alot go. That being said, until the final 2 mins when Duke started to foul, the refs had called 3-4 more PFs on MSU than on Duke. (NT) -- bfg, Sat March 26, 2005 11:42:22
- Just so you know one of the officials in that game was none other than the A-10's own Reggie Greenwood. (NT) -- J92, Sat March 26, 2005 13:19:26
