Harrison Barnes has been dominating today. Nice to see him shake off the early season pressures. Barnes has 35 pts with 1 min remaining.

Holy Jesus was a terrible call.

Dude makes a call 30 feet away from the play. NO WAY IN HELL he saw a foul on that. He called it so he didn't have to call a T on Booker for hanging on the rim. Joke.

Tarheels are playing very well right now. Harrison Barnes is a BEAST! Watch out for them in the big dance!

The way UNC is playing, Ill take them against Duke. However, I must finally give Singler credit for his great game Friday night.

No.

Playing tight D does not consist of grabbing and hand checking.

That's a bull shit call on Allen.

One of the Plumlee bros ran through a screen with his elbow and nothing was called, but Allen gets a T for that. Bad.

What the hell was that T about? Singler fouls Allen but Allen hits him with an elbow and then hit with a T? Did he get the T for the elbow?

Yes.

I'm pretty sure they went to the monitor after the foul was called and made the decision.

They are not going to miss out on a UNC/Duke championship for the first time in 10 years. I am glad that Va Tech is projected already in(at last look they were anyways).

Wow and now they're gonna give Dawkins a T for that bow most likely.

It was a good foul call, but in NO WAY was a T. Come on.

Just stop.

When you elbow a dude in his jaw, it's a foul. That was a good call.

The T(both in fact) was a terrible call.


It happens ALL the time. Think about it. How many charges are called on a shot?

Well, it's Carolina and Duke with everything on the line tomorrow. Exactly the way it should be.

Harrison Barnes was absolutely unconscious today as he saved Carolina from being ousted by a Clemson team that is playing very well. Meanwhile, Nolan Smith once again powered Duke to a win to put them into the championship game. I wonder how Smith's toe will be tomorrow. He had to have an injection to play today, so I would imagine he's sore as heck right now. Another injection tomorrow?

This should probably be a great game, but if Carolina doesn't play 40 minutes, Duke will run away with it. The Heels match up well with Duke, but they better not put forth an effort like they have against Miami and Clemson the last two days. Since it's THE rivalry game, I would imagine they'll be a little more focused.

Can't wait for 1PM tomorrow.

Seriously? Dawkins did elbow the dude in the face. It shouldn't have been a T, but it was a foul.

This is what we all expected. Carolina fans in the building worry if they dont show up in the first half duke will bury them and duke fans worried if their three point attempts don't fall Roy will get his second acc victory in a week.

I am too exhausted to do this another day thursday thru Saturday has me wiped out. I've got a lower for 250 if anyone wants it. Pm me

Stayed for the whole ball game last night glad I did. Today was rough. I never thought I'd say it but it is hard to watch 11 games in four days. Also 4 dollar soda and UNC jack wagons has me ready to snap.

The Dawkins call was the one of the worst officiating decisions I've ever seen. Both the personal and, more explicitly, the technical -- Dawkins was in mid-shooting motion when the Va Tech defender moved in under him; the elbow inadvertently grazed the defender's face in the process. Maybe the rule book declares otherwise, but, from my perspective, it was a classic blocking foul. The unpremeditated elbowing shouldn't matter in that situation. Regardless of the correct technicality regarding that call, the ACC continues to prove why it has some of the worst officiating in all the game. It's a mockery to the legendary status of the conference.

See you tomorrow, Prince Harry. I hope Singler removes that unpleasant thing off your face: your face. Every time Barnes makes a point against Duke, I wince because I feel like we just let E.T. score a jump shot on us. He's got game, though. Harrison's stock is through the roof after this weekend.



By far, one of my favorite photographs for all-time.

The hostility from Duke fans toward Barnes makes me smile.

I'll give you credit, rec. At least you admit that he has game. Many of your fellow Dukies still act like it's November.
