That was a horrible call on Filip BET/MGM Creighton paying refs because there hasn''t been many missed without a foul call
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Brutal loss. Having Walker under the basket on the last free throw was a big mistake. Walker got shoved under the the basket and Anderson was way to causal going after the rebound on the last play. He had the rebound and lost it. Not sure what is worse? The 41 point blowout at home or choking the lead away on the road. I usually don't bitch about the refs but I think Filip got fouled on his last shot.

Worst refs I’ve seen in years ! Foul on all wright was worst call I’ve seen ! And foul at end against Boravician was a bad call as well ! I hope big east requests those refs not to call another big east game!

Might have been a good idea to have Pop's under the basket on that last lost rebound on a free throw. If you don't play him than than what is he on the team for? You have to play like Duke does at the end of games. Go aggressively to the basket. Make the refs make the call. Your not going to get many breaks shooting fade away shot at the end of games.

The foul STATS are foul. The refs are bad, or they are corrupt, but then when I saw that it was John Gaffney, Pat Driscoll, and Paul Szelc, I figured they would give the game to Creighton. They are probably the worst refs, and that is really saying a lot. I agree with the above comments, but I thought the last play for Creighton was a mugging of Anderson, and I think Swartz left the foul line before the ball hit the rim. It started with the T on Filip earlier in the game, which showed how weak these refs are and how they do not deserve their jobs.

Awful awful refs. Agree about having Pops in on the last free throws, but once again the refs were ultimately the problem there. Our two big men starters fouled out so we had a small lineup at the line. Totally disaster of a game after our guys played their guts out.
