Depends on margins and conference tourney, but I think Duke needs to beat VT and go at least 1-1 against NCSU and UNC to be safely inside the top 30, in addition to beating ND, Cuse, Lville.
I wonāt root for Duke regardlessā¦ donāt care if they end up in Quad 3. In fact, Iād love it. But I do like to have a reason to get invested in, say, JMU vs. so-and-so. (Duke: bad. The Dukes: good.)

During the review Jay Willy was coaching RD up on the sideline exactly on this. Ryan was locked into the learning moment and Jay was holding his arm talking to him.
As someone said it was not a foul and am sure the refs realised it rewatching. Also the nature of the play with Reece!! And 30 for Duke who had zero points both falling to the ground made it look like someone had to foul

OK, I take back the semi-nice things I said about Scheyer. Turns out heās just as big a whiner as K.

The replay angle they kept showing during the game made it look like Reece and Dunn were draped over his back. The angle they didnāt show clearly shows separation. I imagine that was the angle the refs used to overturn the call. Funny that ESPN did not let us see that angle.

Scheyer said, āYou canāt call a foul on that play ā¦ you simply canāt have a whistle.ā
Yep. You would think he watched the tape and would focus on that

For anyone who cares about the silly rule itself:
Virginia fans were quick to notice that the NCAA Casebook addressing this scenario starts with the phrase: āIn a game without a courtside monitor ā¦ā
All ACC games have a courtside monitor, and officials Tim Clougherty, Lee Cassell and Jeffrey Anderson used it before ruling Saturdayās contest should extend to overtime, but Rastatter said through spokesman David Worlock that the rule applies regardless of monitor availability.
From this Teel article:
So that (sort of) answers that. The head officials think you can read the preface out of the example, so it applies to all scenarios. Who am I to argueā¦
But it just underlies the annoying thing about this whole discourse ā the entire fan discourse is about Reece and Flip meeting at the rim, but the entire mishigas that kept the Reece/Flip discourse alive is the Dunn contact. Even listening to Norlander ā he was like (paraphrasing) āI didnāt think there was contact on Dunnā¦ā (I think there was, but it was so minimal / incidental that it almost never gets called).

Goes to show you how this has become a rivalry despite what duke says. No way they should care this much about a regular season game. I donāt even think this would have been as big of a deal against unc. I think duke realizes that without Coach K, they canāt command calls like they used to. Part of the issue with going with Scheyer who has so little resume.

Eh, against UNC it would have been an even bigger deal. But I agree with the point that itās turning into a real rivalry, and which team is the bully is starting to shift.

idk. This has gone past the super bowl coverage. This is definitely a vibe shift moment for acc basketball whereas if it it happened against unc, it would not be that surprising if that happened in uncs favor.
Duke desperately needed that game. No current Duke student has seen their team in this position in their life. A win against the No. 6 team in the nation would have given them a glimmer of hope they could hold on to what they had.
Reece walked in and slammed the door shut and put an end to run. Duke fans donāt want to admit it, but thatās why theyāre whinging so much right now. The reality is setting in. The monsters arenāt at the gateā¦ they have ransacked the city. The Hoos are here, they are that beast their mama warned them about.
