@ Duke 2/13

[Skeptical]

WOW. Now that Congress has "cleared up all the problems in the world".

To clarify my comments about ****ie V being insufferable, I think he's great unless it's a duke game. In any Duke game, it might as well be a Duke vs. Duke scrimmage.

It's too late for a retort in College Park, but my next door neighbor's son who went here a few years ago once told me it was harder to get an 'A' at our local high school than it was at Duke.

Back to back horrible out of bounds calls. In my opinion.

milbourne is playing awful

i think we need to get away from bashing the refs here..MD has played horrible, this game is no fault but their own

[Lucky Jim]

The first one was legit. The second was a terrible angle, so I have no idea.

Seriously, though - are we really upset about anything other than Maryland's atrocious play?

Maryland's lucky to survive that. They're not shooting well. They're turning the ball over. And they're still in it.

[Skeptical]

If it's a bad call, i'm going to call it a bad call. Yes, MD has turned the ball over and hasn't been able to hit a shot, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other factors that contribute to a loss.

Well, that's understandable, I think. He needs to do more in the second half. As does Hayes, who's been equally abysmal.

i thought the call was questionable at best and i'm a die hard umd fan, all im saying is that it seems our fans have been too easy to pass blame on the refs for our bad play rather than suck it up....me included

Oh, c'mon. The refs aren't even the beginning of a factor in this game so far.

I think a fun drinking game would be ever time Vitale says the word Duke you have to take a drink. Shoot we'd all be rip-roaring drunk after about 5 minutes:D

In no way am i saying that the predominant reason that MD is losing is because of the refs. I'm saying that those two out of bounds calls were bad. Clearly when MD is 0/3 from 3-point land and duke is 7-14, there's your difference.

i think even more than that is points off TO's...nothing worse than that

[Fairfax Bird]

Duke is better than I have given them credit for. They are great shooters. Maryland is playing poorly. That said, it is a crime that Maryland has more fouls than Duke. Duke plays so smart and physical that for every foul called against them they get away with two. Really good coaching.
