Yeah about that, I don't think North Dakota did anything wrong here. I mean not 5 seconds prior to that, didn't Baer steal the ball from them? Correct me if I'm wrong

 

Well...the North Dakota player DID violate the norms/decorum of the game. Baer on Iowa rebounded a miss with 5 seconds left and Iowa up 11. Baer stood slack to let the clock run out. The North Dakota player wrestled the ball out of Baer's hands and tried to shoot it back in.

Even my fifth grader knows how this stuff works; his rec league team was up 15 last week and he rebounded with 15 seconds left. Instead of playing through, he dribbled just past the midcourt line and stopped cold. Handed the ball to the ref at midcourt as the clock ran out. (My kid watches a lot of college basketball, and thanks to IUBB scheduling, has seen the "end of game cupcake shuffle" many times! lol).

So possibly as much as the first 5 minutes of their next game?

Up to and including the first half of the next game.  That'll teach him his lesson!

So I'm 5 rows behind Duke bench, Grayson blatantly trips opposing guard, screams F--- toward bench & throws a full blown temper tantrum when T is called. Very nice for all the families in attendance.

Another example of the class act that he is. And yet it will be blamed on duke being hated. Puhlease. What a turd.

Remember, sports is purely and merely entertainment. Bad moments merely provide contrast so that the good moments feel even better!

Maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses, and start making changes.

Do get some help the kid is a psychology major after all.

Spineless cowards would support the actions of Coach K if he named himself the ACC Commissioner and took their salaries.

In other words ... "Thank God Krzyzewski did something because we would never have had the kahunas to offend the Dukies."
