CBS did not want two ACC teams in the final game, bad for ratings. The Refs were aware of this. After all CBS pays the bills.

Sometimes, it is appropriate for refs to call things tight, like when you have two very physical teams. But, this was a game with two finesse teams. They came to play basketball, not football. It should have been the most beautiful game of the year, but it ended up very ugly.

I think the main reason Duke's offense was bad at the end was because Duhon was tired. He was the main creator, and he was worn out from playing frantic defense against Gordon all night.
