In that vein, it was certainly heartwarming to see this: The refs throwing the Blue Devils a bone and allowing Gerald Henderson to reach his hand up through the basket and block a Georgia Southern player’s shot last night without calling goaltending:
Duke went on to win 97-54. It’s a nice little win for a small program attempting to make a name for itself in the ACC. And just between you and me, I really think they deserve more of these favorable calls. And TV coverage. They just don’t get either of them often enough.
