Refs are getting paid by the whistle in this Duke-Arizona game. 

[HinnyHoosier 6,509]

Big swing to end the half for Duke.

I want us to have a Cooper Flagg someday :/

[cbp4iu 2,277]

Texas Tech looks terrible.

Refs are calling fouls just for fun now. 

[TheWatShot 15,414]

Duke might get 100 tonight as well. Made 21 of its last 24 shots.

Flagg is incredible but this Duke whistle is really something. Arizona guys getting mugged, no whistle. Must be nice to be a media darling.

Ya we can probably write off Texas Tech… They don’t look like they have it tonight. They will be lucky to not lose by 20 when’s its all said and done

13-0 run to cut the lead to 3 with under 2 to play!

Duke vs. Alabama: First to 120 wins?

Evidently. And don't count either out until the buzzer sounds.

Atta’ boy calipari. Get the worst shot imaginable to end the game.

[BannerVille 271]

OT was a slug fest with Ark missing at the buzzer.  TT finishes the improbable comeback.

[TheWatShot 15,414]

Arkansas had a timeout, right? Can't believe they didn't use it. 

[HinnyHoosier 6,509]

Wow. Horrrrrible last sequence by Arkansas and Calipari. I'm pretty sure they had a timeout and he just let Wagner get himself shut down.

Right, my brain just doesn't work that way and I've always felt those ratings can be deceiving. 81 points per game makes my skin crawl lol. Obviously, slow the game down, slow the scoring opportunities down. But Alabama will never slow down.

Kind of like when a running team gets down in football and it’s hard to come back. When Alabama is rolling it’s impossible to stay with them and it forces their opponents out of their game trying to keep up. I agree with you that on a possession by possession basis their D isn’t great.

I still have trouble grasping that defensive rating when I see it. I feel like every time I've watched Alabama play they were never impressing anyone with their defense/points allowed.

They were ranked lower just a month or so ago when I looked. So I didn’t pick them to win it all. But their def efficiency has climbed a lot since the last time I looked. So they have stepped up in that last of their game.
