Duke escaped with a big 67–66 win over No. 15 Florida in the ACC/SEC Challenge, grinding it out with defense and an ice-cold dagger from Isaiah Evans. The offense wasn’t pretty, but it was enough for Duke’s third-ranked win. Yet instead of the game itself, most of the postgame chatter now revolves around the officiating.
Analyst Jamie Shaw took to X to ask a straightforward but thought-provoking question: “This was called a Flagrant 1 on Thomas Haugh…Was this the right call?”
Well, refs actually called a technical, not a flagrant, on Haugh. However, fans weren’t upset about just one moment; the whole game felt stacked with calls that worked against them. A handful of misses and strange whistles added up, making it look like Duke was getting a friendly boost at home.
