I rarely read Xitter comments because it's usually like a Nazi meeting but I made an exception to see how Duke fans were taking things. I read about 20 comments and this was my favorite:

"I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the Blue Devils game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. Duke has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Duke. I am no longer a fan."

I despise Duke more than most—I jumped
higher than Michael Jordan in the ‘87 dunk contest when Mullins hit the shot—but it’s silly to hate on the kid. It was one boneheaded play. If not for Cayden, Duke’s season would have ended a long time ago. He played very well down the stretch.
I hate Duke, but I did like that he took accountability for his mistake post game.

Scheyer is really the one who failed. He put Cayden Boozer in the game when he needed some better experience and chose not to call a timeout when he could have made it clear what to do. The Freshman just went into panic mode. In the PC afterward, Scheyer avoided the question about that play and just said that it really wasn't that play that lost the game. Sorry but really it was.

lol a Nazi meeting? I’m guessing you’ve only been exposed to a section of site. I promise there’s other sections that swing all the way to the other side as well.

True it’s one bonehead play BUT that one play cost them a title game appearance most likely and a good chance it cost a title.

I’m just glad it’s finally Duke getting these awful unlucky heartbreakers instead of us for a change. Feels like our history is littered with those.

I never understood how some of our own fans have been brainwashed into thinking it's only Kentucky who has crazy fans. It's everywhere. We also have the best fans too, but for some reason people only want to focus on the negatives.
It's because they base their judgement on what they see here and are not capable of nuance, comprehension outside of their own purview.

It really wasn’t a boneheaded play. If he had held the ball and got fouled, missed the one and one and the same thing happened (3 at the buzzer for UCONN), the mantra would have been he had two players at the other end of the court all he had to do was throw ahead and its game over. It’s the nature of second guessing when you have the luxury of knowing how things played out.

Its funny how people see the same object, item, situation but relate to that object, situation in different ways.

I watch he'd the game and the video of the last play multiple times and its funny how this board feels about it.
I seen a UCONN player make a great play; he timed his jump perfectly and boy did he jump. I think this kid deserves some credit for his heads up play.

Then you have the other Duke players. Seemed like the first ones to touch the ball did not want to be the one to make a play. Seemed like they did not want to be fouled and have to make a free throw.
