Refs struggled, but when you lose you can't go down that road....its makes you a whiner.
Just like I told my teams in tournament play:
Rule #1
Figure out how the officials are calling the game and you better be able to adjust. It doesn't matter if we agree...our opinion doesn't matter and sometimes you just have to find a way to win in spite of them. That has always been sports and will always be sports,
Rule #2
When you have a chance to put a team away you better not let that chance slip away. Duke had their 2 starters in foul trouble on the bench down by 9. They let a freshman who hadn't done a whole lot all year become the hero for Duke. The kid honestly wanted it more. He outhustled them and the whistles he drew I thought were all legit.
Wisconsin had their chances to put this game away and didn't. I thought the turning point of the game is when Sam D. Took that hit to the face. He sat for quite a while and that was also when Duke made their run.
