Watch the ESPN highlights of the Duke-Clemson game. They actually show and call out the hypocrisy in the foul called against Clemson with 4 seconds left, followed by the mirror image play on the opposite end of the court as the clock runs out, where they don't call the foul against Duke. Good for them for calling out the blue-blood bias for once.

Did no one watch this? I thought it was notable, given that ESPN usually tows the blueblood line.

Nope. Kept watching the Big 12. And if it was on during the ISU/KU game, well, I wouldn't have quit watching if my house was on fire.

The Duke call was definitely iffy. There was no foul on the Clemson possession IMO.

Is it me or after the tech call against the Mayor the officials seemed to call the game in a more balanced fashion?

Had a couple of flashbacks to Michigan State vs ISU in the Final Four (2000) early in the game last night. The officiating was out-and-out dirty.

Good thing the KC refs tried to bust our kneecaps too early and Clones had a chance to make it up.

GO CLONES!!!

I thought so too. That may have been the most evenly called Big 12 Kansas game I've ever seen.

That MSU/ISU game was an elite 8 game not a Final 4 game. Larry's tirade was epic though...rightly so. ******* refs.

It wasn't a foul on Duke, the Clemson player completely lost control of the ball on his own and then continued on into the Duke player. No ref in their right mind calls that a foul.

Totally agree...and would say the EXACT same thing about the "foul" on Clemson 3 seconds before that.

Honestly, that game wasn't officiated that terribly except for the dumb double foul, and a few calls that are missed every game.

There was some contact when the Duke player was fouled, but the Clemson player was not touched on the final drive to the hoop. He was looking for contact and there was none...
