Last night's game has been talked more at work today than the super bowl was
***DUKE VS LOUISVILLE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

My bad, you are right. However, I have never heard of a ref reviewing it on their own...
If by on their own you mean, they see the coach is pissed and glance up at the replay on the big board, then decide to review, then I’ve seen that a few times.
But then I am in the land of Division III where they do not review anything and do not listen to the coach. My first year at the institution I am currently at, we made a three so deep, I did not even wait for the officials signal. All of a sudden, I am a point high. I ask the official book and found out they ruled it a three. It was so deep, I would be embarrassed if I called it a two and then went to replay. Refs refused to review it.
I think they review it on their own quite often. There is no one in the building more interested in the call being *correct* than the officials.
I hope you guys don't mind being corrected, but I noticed several inaccurate statements from last night's game.

I don't generally post on gamedays (and some of these guys should avoid it as well).
Credit to several who kept the faith, particularly @pisgah101 - he was calling the comeback about the time I was turning the game off.
I hope you don’t mind me saying this but you have entirely too much time on your hands.
Right.

That he did, and some us even called ourselves out immediately after! Lol.
Absolutely. I noticed when we cut it to 14 and UL called a timeout, Baker looked at the starters and said "we're doing this"(or something to that effect). Good to see that young man so engaged on the sideline as a redshirt . Nobody on that bench gave up either.
DANG, shots fired. Although I don't blame anyone for saying that we were going to lose or not score very many points. Any rational person would have thought that. The only terrible comment was the one about Goldwire not being allowed to play ever again. That looks bad today.
Baker has great body language. Very invested in this team and program. Will be great for us next year.
Haha thanks I just knew if that switch came on we could do it. This team has just had it
Have any of you been over to the Louisville board? Just like it is here in person, the difference in their fans vs the team that got punked by LSU at corrupt Arena last night is night and day. Completely different class of fans
Meh, kinda funny but more concerning is when I see people that actually take the time to do that lol.
I think assuming you are going to lose when you are down 23 with 9' to go is completely understandable. I hate seeing anyone trash our players, but thinking that game was over when they hit the 3 to go up by 23 is not crazy
It was an amazing atmosphere last night. My buddy and I sat 20 rows from the court center court. There were some Duke fans sitting around us. A lot of them had thrown in the towel with only 10 minutes left in the game. I told them all to relax and we still had Coach K on the sideline and Duke was fine. Watching that comeback live in person was phenomenal, we were all going crazy with every steal and basket The Blue Devils made. I lost my voice towards the end of the night. Louisville fans were good sports though and did not talk trash. How are you feeling today @jwill133 ?
I didn’t think we were gonna come back either, but I will NEVER say this player is awful and should never play a meaningful minute again. That’s just bad there. Embarrassing
Main reason I don't post on the premium board anymore. Too many Internet fights. Some of those guys are way out of control.
So for the record, I was more having fun with this. It's easy to overreact when you're filled with negative emotions. Wasn't trying to be douchey, even though it may have come off like that. Just about everyone in the country plays like crap at times, especially on the road. Michigan, for example, had two 20+ point losses last year. Sometimes teams are just off.
Glad we were able to correct our mistakes, but I think it's kind of amusing to see how easily we can lose hope. All is not lost. We are the best team in the country, IMO. We very well might lose another game or two, but I like our chances going forward.
I didn't have to go through the whole thread. Pretty easy to zone in on a couple pages where we were down 17+ points.
Lose all hope? Down 23 with 10 min left? Some nights teams just don’t have it. It happens.
I find it somewhat humorous that you’re calling some out for supposed dramatic responses yet your post here oozes it too. That said, most of those who folded in last night never said a peep about caving long term. I personally posed a question to get others thoughts on the weak shooting, but doesn’t mean I won’t pull for this team to win 6 straight to finish the season.
LGD! Bring on the Wolfies.
I can click on your profile and figure out in a matter of seconds that you've made 62 posts in the last 24 hours. So...
And THIS is the difference in the two fanbases here
And how long were they and how much of that time was I watching the game or on a plane? Please clarify....
But hey, “you’re not being douchey”, right?
Yep. Definitely a form of douche-like behavior since you've engaged me. Just for kicks and giggles at this point.
In another direction, circle or not, that is ABSOLUTELY not a charge. Reddish took to the air (on a hop step, mind you) before any semblance of a legal guarding position (if he got that far)
Coming from the guy/gal who stated they need “to step outside” when watching a game with other fans for fear of doing something bad.....it all makes sense
Ps try having a little more originality next time. This is supposed to funny after all!

Misquoted out of context, but okay. First, I don't like watching Duke games with fans of any school because I like to watch the details of the game (defending away from the ball, boxing out, hedges, backcuts, hustle plays, etc). That's also why you rarely see me on message boards during a game (seriously try quoting something I said during the middle of a Duke game - you might have to go back a year or two). I can't capture all of the tiny details if I'm getting semi-distracted from a side conversation.
So yes, I might be a little agitated if an invited guest was intentionally rooting for the other team, just to get under my skin. But not because I was losing hope or saying something wildly insightful like, "Do you think a poor shooting team like our own, who has beaten 7 teams in the top 16, could legitimately be a national title contender?"
Again, your excuse here doesn’t offset why it makes sense to me - you get too emotionally invested in it. Many do, but we don’t need a safe space and can enjoy through wins and losses. All good.
And when did I say “national contender”? Hmmmm. Nice try though. You’re a bit late for that desperation attempt.
Not verbatim, but yeah you totally suggested that a poor shooting team might have trouble winning the title.
No kidding? Thank you Captain Obvious, and it’s a pretty known concern. It’s not like saying the Earth is flat. And note I posed a statistical question that I’m curious of. Not sure if they’re THE worst, but are they one of the worst in we’ll over a decade? Fair question indeed.
