One thing to keep in mind about the UNC/Duke game tonight. After watching the last 3 Duke games on tv...MD, VA Tech, Ga Tech. I can say that the officiating has been very one sided. I know that Duke get the calls at home but it has gotten to an extreme point. In all 3 games the announcers (all different) have mentioned the amount of missed calls or calls going Duke's way. Even Dick "Duke" Vitale during the Maryland game several times made mention of this. Just a heads up.

Jman we are both Marylanders and yes we have seen Duke play 100 times over. What I am saying is that is has seem to have gone to an extreme the last few games. And for the record..No I am not a bitter being a MD fan or losing $ becuase of these games, As a matter of fact I cashed in nicely on the VA Tech game.

Carolina is clearly the BETTER team . BUT at Cammeron Center and having the officiials on their side DUKE wins tonite by 5 or 6 points.

The referees calls are not just affected at Duke, but are also affected at many, many venues throughout the country whether willingly or not. Home teams with strong fan support with high volume have a distinct advantage in collegiate basketball.

The difference here is...


No Battier

No Brand

No Jay Williams

This team is almost barren on stud talent! Reddick and Sheldon Williams are the only ones worth their salt.

I think the ref that is the most blatant is Duke Edsel. I still say you should not be able to ref a game if your name is the same as the school.

I just do not see Duke winning tonight

They are overrated this year. I grew up right in the middle of Duke and UNC, off 15-501. I have followed both for over 25 years, I understand the hate they have for one another. UNC really wants to go into Cameron and kill Duke. They are deeper, have much better athletes and defenders. I feel UNC wins by 8 or more...
