And that is absolutely ridiculous.

There were not a bunch of missed calls in the first half. I hate Duke, but anyone who has ever watched a game with me knows that I comment on bullshit calls and missed calls on both sides.

I cannot stress enough that the game changed completely based on the fact that Duke was in the penalty with more than half of the second half to play and in the double penalty with fucking 7 minutes left in the game. That is absolutely outrageous given the fact that they were securing those fouls by actively trying to run into people with the intention of falling down.
