If you're a Duke hater, it doesn't get much better than this simple video:
(Via Mr. Irrelevant) Late in Duke's loss to West Virginia, the Mountaineers' Cam Thoroughman ran right through the Blue Devils' Gerald Henderson, leaving Henderson flat on his back -- and no foul was called.
Some will wonder why Thoroughman didn't get whistled, but considering that Henderson shoved Thoroughman first -- and considering that Duke players have been known to to a wee bit of flopping -- it somehow seems just.

1. Gerald Henderson is a thug and a cheap shot artist. One of these days somebody is going to deck him, and it will be well deserved

5. You say Henderson got what he deserved? I thought the sport was basketball, not football or hockey. Notice how Henderson jumped right up and made no attempt to retalliate or whine to the ref. I'd say that was pretty classy. Like it or not, Duke's program and players have more class than vitually any other high profile team. And the same can be said about Coach K. Envy can, unfortunately, bring out the worst in competitive fans.

6. He's lucky he didn't get an elbow to the jaw.

7. Hey Robyn Wall!! You are such a typical Dukie. I like how you choose to ignore the part of the action whereby Henderson shoves the WV player in the back..you know..the first blow! The only part of the action you focus on is Henderson acting classy?!...what a joke. BTW only 1 regional final in the last 7 years for Duke...not exactly basketball royalty anymore are they.

8. Hey Truth, he wasn't being classy, he was simply tucking his tail between his legs after he got hammered, as a result of a cheap shot. Like most bully types do. After seeing this incident, and remembering what he did intentionally to T. Hansbrough last year, I know all I need to know about Henderson.

9. amen to that Gooch.

10. Henderson showed his class at the end of last year when he got suspended for the cheap shot to Hansbrough. Face it, Dukes home for Easter holiday while carolina is on its way to there 5th national championship. Now thats class!

11. Gotta love it when a jerk gets his comeuppance. That shove in the back was outrageous. The WV guy showed class by not making a deal out of it, but settling it mano-a-mano. Very nice.

12. all I have to say is GO HEELS!!!!!

13. Duke is a joke. they are choke artists. 3 national championships? umm. in the early 90's. Point is that they suck now and are worthless piece of garbage. Good thing they don't have to play Virginia commonwealth and other powerhouses or else they would be in real trouble.

14. I agree with Gooch!! Henderson didn't show any class at all! He initially pushed Thoroughman first, from behind even!! An eye for an eye!! He should get socked in the face for a cheap move like that!!

17. I'm no Dukie. Go Spartans!!!! But I did watch this game. It's impossible to call all fouls and I saw both teams get away with a few that I thought the refs should've called. I wondered why Duke looked like a high school team myself so I researched it (WRAL.com)and no one mentioned that 5 players and the Duke coach had the flu. They also had the flu when they played that first game. I also found out a few other things - they made it to the Sweet 16 nine years in a row ('97-'06), including three to the Final Four and a championship ('01) and has more tournament wins than any other school. MSU can't boast that, but I'm not a jerk about it. At least I can keep an open mind and use facts to form an opinion. SPARTY ON!!!!!!

18. guess he was asking to get knocked on his bumm

19. Funny, I seem to remember "Punko T" slinking away after getting his snozz conked by Henderson. Typical tuff guy from the Tar holes.."oh, hold me back..hold me back...don't let him whup my azz in the dean dome." Please folks, Henderson pushed the guy in the back..he lowered his shoulder and decked him in retaliation. Late in the game, leave it be. Gerald took a shot and that was that, man up next year and maybe go a little farther in the tournement. I'm true blue to the core, but when my team exits quickly I'm still there for them. I can truly report that the hardest thing in the world to find is a Tar hole fan when they're not winning....seriously fickle folks. BTW Gooch, T's best known for his girly swing at State a few years ago....what a man!!!!!
