One of best FFs I've seen. Both games big comebacks.
Maybe someday I’ll have the emotional maturity to enjoy the games after Kentucky is eliminated. I don’t think I’ve watched a final four since Villanova beat UNC at the buzzer.

Posted this on another thread but like it so much I'll repeat.
Got one of my 2 wishes (could only get 1). Told my daughter before game started I wanted Houston to blow them out or it come down to last second shot and Flagg miss. I'll take it!

No he ain’t. Maybe they’ll play this replay for the next 40 years and stop playing the Laetner one.

I hope this one burns in Duke nation's consciousness for eternity. Eff everyone of them! Eff Laettner. Eff Special K. Eff Wojo. Eff Grant Hill. Eff Jason Williams. Eff Trajan Langdon. Eff Mike Dunleavy Jr. Eff J.J. Reddick. Eff Zion Williamson. Eff Austin Rivers. And Eff Cooper Flagg!

Grant Hill was eerily quiet at the end!

Wish I could have liked this more than once !

All the cheating in the world didn't get Duke over the hump!! He came up real short! Flagg should have been called for a hook on that play. It was clear as day.
I love it so much much, this is a choke for the ages. Scheyer is the new Cal. The end of that game was like our game against Auburn in the Elite 8 in 2019. Couldn’t score and everything that could go wrong did except with a much larger lead.

Duke fans blaming refs
The last call on Flag was kind of weak but they cannot complain about refs , they had calls going their way as well… Plus that’s not why they missed FT, or only one field goals in last 10 minutes ….. playing stall ball … turning the ball over… not rebounding…they played not to lose….…..Duke coaching was subpar to their team and the investments that the alumnae made this season.

coaching matters!

Just curious how old you are. That probably has something to do with it IMO.
37, so I wasn't really old enough to remember the 92 game. I just don't get the Duke hate. Do I like Duke? No, hell no, but I literally don't care what they do, if they lose they lose.

Duke went the final 10 minutes without a field goal.

This is the type of loss that annihilates the soul and dims the light of all hope.

This was their best team in years, and just like the perennial Zion Williamson team, Cooper and his friends choked!

1999
2019
2025

Three seasons when Duke was absolutely loaded with talent and still choked...

Burn deep, Durham bitches. Burn deep.
I’d throw 2022 in there too. Banchero was special. Also had Mark Williams and some other talented freshmen.

The guy was hooking him and he jumped up for the ball, there was no reason to blow a whistle for that. Let Houston go down and earn the game instead of putting them at the line for that. There was no advantage gained there. That was a ridiculous call to make to decide a national championship appearance and I hate Duke.
Nah, that's over the back. Houston guy had him blocked out, and he reached over the guy to try to grab the ball. Easy call.
