Normally this would be funny. But because it’s Duke and everyone loves to hate Duke (including me) it rises to hilarious. You can cheat the refs, but you can’t cheat gravity:

… the opportunity to wonder if all the paranoia about officiating heavily favoring the Blue Devils at home is really true. If you’re a conspiracy theorist, you might want to get your hands on tape of last night’s game. Georgia Tech didn’t take a free throw until the final 10 minutes. Folks, that isn’t easy to do.

But the unintentional highlight of the night came when the Duke mascot did its usual rolling surf board trick in the first half — and proceeded to fall off and eventually limp off the court, as Fayetteville Observer beat writer Dan Wiederer pointed out so eloquently.

It isn’t right to laugh at someone’s misfortune like that, but at some point, you have to ask yourself — How bright is it for a person wearing a giant mascot head on their noggin to be pulling that stunt over and over?

Check out the video and Jim Rome’s take:

Wiping that smug look off the face of that fraud Coach Krzyzewski (pronounced: Kreh-ZOO-skee) - Miami (FL) 96, Duke 95. So much for us being a football school! They had a 20 point lead but let it slip away, but held Duke off late. The only reason it was so close was that Duke hit a desperation half court shot at the buzzer.
