Duke Sucks

Clemson almost beat Duke the other night, except the Blue Devils made a layup at the buzzer to escape with the win.

Unfortunately, the clock failed to start and did not run during the previous play. Instead of taking time off the clock and sending the game to overtime, however, the officials conferred and then added time to the clock, presumably because they don't know whether the clock counts up or down (in case they're reading this: it's down. Down, you dummies! Just like what you do every time you have a game with Mike Krzyzewskiystyshy: you go down! So does the clock!).

The result was that Duke got an extra 2.5 seconds to, well, make a layup and win the game.

I know what you're thinking ("I don't care"?): "The refs handed Duke a game on a silver platter? No way!"
