about Jefferson's reactions during the game. I had to stop listening before I heard any further. Anybody hear this? Thanks in advance
I heard on the radio this morning that Felder had some comments...

No audio, but this quote is in the New York Post.
“There was a point Amile Jefferson was crying after every play,” said Brooklyn product Rakym Felder, a freshman who came off the bench to score 15 points. “We thought they were giving up, they were laying down, so we kept attacking them.”

That is beautiful
How the hell he didn't get a technical for whining to the refs about his eye/contact over and over again is beyond me.
He yelled to the refs, then dropped a F bomb, then went back to yell at the refs. Then he went to the bench to get pink eye and came back to the refs to yell at them some more. Then after we made our first foul shot, he yelled at the ref some more.
Kennard is the other punk that pushed Felder into the goal on a fast break.
Put anything other than "Duke" on the front of their jersey and they get technicals.
It may not be their fault - their great coach was taking off his jacket and throwing it around in a tantrum around the 12 minute mark of the first half. Not exactly the best role model. There was a clear distinction in the men playing for Frank and the boys from Duke.

Great article except for "the team celebrated with it's maroon clad fans"
I was yelling "T HIM UP!!" at the ref on two different occasions with Jefferson. That was unreal what he got away with.
And the Tatum kid slamming the ball down in front of the Ref
Seemed like Coach K gave up. Took out the Sr. with 16 seconds left.
Down by 7 with :16 left, he calls off the pressure. Thought that was a little strange.

I'm guessing he figured that the remaining 16 seconds would probably go like most of the previous 19:44, and now was the time to act classy.
Might have been different if they were down by 5 or less.
Duke played a 7 man rotation. That was the 3rd player to foul out. So, Coach K had 2 players out there who never play. He knew it was over. Jefferson was one foul away from fouling out. Basically he was depleted.
Damn! I hate that! Maroon . . . as in Texas Aggies or MisState Maroon? We are NOT Maroon! Geesh!
When this happened Derrick Scott on the radio broadcast could not believe that the ref didn't Tee him up and said "obviously Jefferson has been elected mayor of bracket town, I just wish they had informed us about it!"
Our garnet is exactly the same color as the Miss State maroon, per a discussion a few years ago.
Even more telling is his frail a$$ never once brought the subject up with Silva.
As Silva calmly knocks down two free throws he throws a temper tantrum at the ref that he is clearly indirectly directing at Silva.
That shove was awesome. I'm no lip reader, but I swear it looked like Felder yelled "get off me" as he shoved him. I love it!
A little attitude plus a lot of confidence is a good thing for us
