Best Post-Game Tweets From Furious Cuse Fans

The Syracuse-Duke rivalry certainly intensified when an offensive foul was called on a layup by C.J. Fair which could have tied the close game.  Coach Boeheim was so enraged that he charged onto the court to argue the call and was then ejected from the game in the last 10 seconds.  But the controversy did not die down after Boeheim was escorted out.  Die-hard Orange fans took their complaints to social media, flooding Twitter feeds with 140-character-bursts-of-angst for hours after the final score was announced.  Here’s a post-game analysis of the most notable tweets…most of them mirroring Coach Boeheim’s televised reaction:

Good sportsmanship: 

For those of you tweeting that my dad shouldn’t lose it like that you try to keep calm when your team gives it their all and gets that call.

Tough fought game. So proud of our team. They competed so hard and had a chance to win the game.

And C.J. Fair himself with some wise words of advice applicable to most situations we find ourselves in: 

Regardless how it all goes down. Life goes on!
