How do you call a loose ball foul with 10 seconds left where a guy puts his arm out to protect himself from an out of control player???

aside from the refs, if Texas could make free throws they would have won.

The pedigree looks very good on Don't Hold Me Back, just wish he had a victory on "real" dirt.

I didn't think BR ever looked comfortable either. Turfway is always an odd one to figure for me.

That was a foul, no question. He used his arm to create an advantage. The over the back call was a phantom call for sure but that was a dumb play by the Texas guy because he looked like he was in position to get the ball anyway.

Not to mention the Duke player missed both free throws and Texas failed to get the rebound.

There were a number of times Texas did not
block out in the last 2 min. and Duke got tips.
I would rather not see a stupid team go on.
Cannon is being kind.

Damion James is physically a 1st round draft pick.
Mentally he is D-league.

DJ why did you leave us?

I'm sorry, but having watched Texas fail miserably in recent years whenever it really counted, I didn't expect anything but at the end of that game on Saturday.
