Monday Espn Game: UL at Duke. Who will you root for

Duke (shockingly) gets a bunch of foul calls in the last 2:30 to pull away and win.
 
Looks like the refs are making sure Duke secures the victory. Calling touch fouls on UL every time down the floor in last 3 minutes.

Not a UL fan, but hate seeing the treatment that Duke gets
 
That strength coach, holy crap. If you can, go back to the under 8 timeout about 45 minutes ago and watch again. Dudes not even watching the game! Just screaming at nothing! The whistle blew twice and he stopped and looked up. I was dying laughing! Dudes crazy!

Here is another example of what Kentucky doesn't get in last 3-4 minutes of the game. The Duke's, Kansas, UNC, etc. always gets the fouls at the end of game. This game was tied at 60-60 with 3minutes to go and Duke goes to the line 12 times and hits 10 Ft's and UL goes to the line 4 times and makes 2 and final score was 72-65. UL ended the final 3 minutes with 2 ft's and a 3-pointer for 65, and Duke ended 10/12 Ft's and a Layup for the 72 points. I didn't really care who won this game but this is an example of how some of these teams get the Fouls and the Free Throws. I wish Kentucky would get this treatment in the SEC. You would think like Duke & UNC in the ACC, Mich. State in Big10, and Kansas in Big12 that Kentucky with the Dominance in SEC Basketball they would get these calls and chances at the FT Line at end of games. We didn't get any treatment at Auburn, at Kansas and Tennessee. When you have 2 games away at Kansas & UT and they get 81 chances in the 2 games and each team hits 30 Free Throws there is no way you winning those 2 games. We had 13/22 at Kansas and 18/23 at UT, Kansas +17 and UT +12 in these 2 games. No way any team will wins these games with that much FT differential.
 
I wanted to see UL win out and somehow be ranked #1 at the end of regular season. I just think watching them melt down over be ranked #1 and have no post season would be better than watching them melt down after a lose

That is just totally ridiculous. Why would you even want them to be able to say they were #1? They'd be swearing they were the best team. Give them something to brag about.

It'd be 1000x better to have then lose out and have to live with that for a whole year.

naw, if they lose out they would know they wouldn't have made the tournament anyways and give them a sense of relief. Be highly ranked and your season end knowing you can't enter the tournament = heartbreak

And then they'd be able to crow that they were the best team, ncaa or not. Not nearly the heartbreak of a 9 game losing streak and have to live with that (plus the scandal) for a year.

No way. I want them to lose out and then eat the chit sandwich of being banned from the tournament.
