THey were down by 5 w/ 13 seconds left at Duke - tied the game and still lost in regulation. What a finish!

As big a Duke fan as I am, Clemson got jobbed (not saying they would have won but that game should have, at the least, gone in to overtime).

Is that why I haven't seen you over at TDD in forever? They would surely ban you for such a statement.

I didn't see when the 3pt went in for Clemson....well, I mean I didn't see the time.
I remember the announcer said there was five seconds when McRoberts turned it over....if the rule is correct and it takes .8 to get a shot off, then there should have been less time than 4.4 seconds.....
But, I forgot where the game was being played, so there wasn't going to be any change regardless
Hey, hey....someone agreed with me.....Yes..more Dook conspiracy

actually, the dude running the clock was a unc grad. he was trying to help out clemson by adding time, but then they scored fast and it helped duke.
i think him and nifong are buddies.
if there had been less time, duke would have run a different play and still possibly won, so i don't see what the big deal is

The video I was looking for....JDUB the evidene speaks for itself
The second video confirms Clemson was cheated......in Cameron, I would have never guessed...
Pretty bad, but the funny thing was that the announcers never even questioned the call

Even Jay Bilas (a Duke alumni said the refs screwed up)
What should also be brought up is that had they put the time on the clock correctly, and Duke would have missed, it would have gone into OVERTIME. I wonder what opponents records are in Cameron playing in Overtime games. Yes, the clock correcttion was in error, but Duke won and probably would have won in overtime. For Duke fans, it was an act of mercy, not wanting to give someone hope, only to YANK it away!!!!! I think it was a nice gesture of sportsmanship!

hahaha.....that is funny.
But, I also point out that VTech had a similar situation, but was given less time and could not get a shot off...
They were cheated, but still won
But, this happened only once in ACC history.
1997, Duke vs. Clemson.....anyone remember......who benefited from extra time???
As Gregg Doyel would say "This is why everyone hates Duke"

They should be ashamed again... up 16 under 4 minutes to play at home, and they lose to UVa
