Thought it was a great game. Refs DID NOT decide the game IMO. They did miss the out of bounds call on Winslow, but all the calls against them were the correct calls. Wisconsin played poor defense, for basically the entire game IMO. Duke missed a ton of bunnies in the first half, and couldn't capitalize on Duke's foul trouble in the first half. In the end it was Wisconsin's inability to stop Duke's guards finishing at the rim. Remember Duke does have better guards than Kentucky does. That's what killed UK the other night was the lack of finishing. Allen and Jones did that tonight.

I have to agree...although I've always thought the Vegas mob owned the big games.

But you have to win decisively against a big name...you know, like when Florida beat OSU in football and basketball that year.

and then disappeared from sports forever? Think you guys will make the playoffs in football next year?

They might not have decided it, but they certainly suck ... I"m about tired of refs blowing their dam whistle when everyone in the effin universe can see NO foul occurred.... Just get's old ..

god i hate when commentators talk to the losing coach after a tough game like this....

Leave them alone for crying out loud!!

"how do you feel that you lost?"
"What are you going to tell your team?"

Yeah, me too. But the UW coach set the record straight in a reasonably soft manner. I feel bad for his players, too.

I think I must have missed your reply, but I don't see you guys in the polls for this coming season?

I dunno. We'll be back no matter how hard CUM tries to recruit from our state. Only UCLA has more national chompianships than UF in all sports for a reason. We're always in the making.

A breakdown laden CUM did a job on us and taking a chance at an unproven idiot destroyed our program for a few years. Enjoy this break until your next whoopin'.

Dook benefited from having a cakewalk to the title game. They used little to no effort the entire tournament in a joke of a bracket.

Every bracket was a joke except the top half of the West region. You sound like a bitch that you are
