2025: the year of f*ck yes

Well, at least they lost the right way...

 

[UKwizard]

All is well. The choke is on.

Duke learning the hard lesson we all learned the last ten plus years: It's hard to win the big games with freshman, no matter how talented, going against tough, experienced teams.

Golden Boy with the losing foul and missed shot.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

I LOVE this Houston team. I actually picked them to win it all in my ****** bracket. They have something special from a team standpoint. No X/O strategy. Just sort of a “300 - THIS IS SPARTA” mentality that they would die and/or kill for each other.

Bless their hearts.

 

[tallkat70]

I would have swore the toughness and fortitude to fight back against UNC and Louisville would pay dividends this time of year but what the f#ck do I know?

Doesn’t block out on a ft miss in their first loss and commits a foul on a ft miss in their last loss.

 

[Ron Mehico]

I had Florida beating Houston in my bracket

This tournament has been grand, Duke losing has really put a pep in my step

Kelvin Sampson giving the Jews their biggest L since their New York tunnels were discovered

Could be the Hoosiers. What a shame.

Cooper Flagg did his usual spin move - the one that Butler for UK noticed and led to a stripped ball when he tried it again.

But this time he totally hooked the Houston defender, and it should have been called an offensive foul. Luckily it didn't go in.

You're one weird dude.

 

[krazykats]

Add Duke to the list of teams losing everything and only having FR coming in.

If you can’t win it all with Cooper Flagg, Knueppel and Maluach then you ain’t winning it with the Boozers either.

[legalbeagle123]

No more cutaway shots of Coop's unattractive mother.

Nipple Boy, from Wisconsin, was at the 2015 Final Four in a Wisconsin jersey. So, he's a traitor to his home state, and also now a huge *****.

All Duke "fans" are fake and can go to hell.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Man, that collapse down the stretch is one of those losses that will NEVER go away. That one is burned in for life.

Pretty much the WORST way to lose one.

 

[tallkat70]

Duke blows it in epic fashion and IU fan gets to think about what might have been. Not a bad little Saturday.

 

[krazykats]

UF -1 opening line. I get that it’s 1v1 but if this was mid season at a neutral site there is no way it’s that close.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I got Houston.

 

[KingLlama]

I'm just really, really glad it was Eagle on the call and not Nantz.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

I haven’t seen a collapse like that since…

I’m wearing my Barstool Coach K Collapsing TShirt to the gym… SOOOO many Dookies in that joint. Enjoy.

 

[ukalumni00]

Was getting 98 KY Duke vibes in that second half. Hilarious. That loss is going to stick with them for a long time and I am here for it!

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Thank you to the Comeback Cougars of Houston

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Sent a text saying “I’m going to bed” with 1 min to go. So glad I didn’t.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

You love to see it.

I’d love to add two PFs with one being a senior brute type of guy and also get a shooter but then the numbers start seeming strained. If the idea is to bulk up Williams (absolutely love that pickup) to serve as backup 4 and also play all over the place, makes sense. Otherwise, going into the season with three big men makes me leery.

I’ll trust Pope as no reason not to, though.

Lowe and Williams are really solid additions.

I saw FL +1 and grabbed it before it went to -1. Got to think UH may have shot their wad down the stretch.

Makes me smile knowing all the Duke fans I saw in San Antonio this week had a shittier trip than me.

Was stuck on same plane 8 hrs for trip home Friday. Storms delayed, pilots ran out of hours, shitters overflowed because we didn’t de board, then flew to gulf and up to go under storms. I was in first and it was miserable, can’t imagine how bad it was in back of bus. Rolled in door at 3:15A.
AA sucks, delta guy but schedule was jacked for SAT.

Also SAT is a **** hole airport.

Company dime this trip.

Houston lost to both Auburn in Houston and Bama in Vegas by 5 this season. SEC was a historic monster and Florida has proven to be the best team. Clayton is the best player in the nation. Gators by 5.

 

[legalbeagle123]

CBS ended their coverage last night pretty quickly, almost as if they had planned a Cooper Flagg Celebration ahead of time and had nothing to run with in its place.

Oh I 100% agree, but I’m an against the grain bettor.

Line makes no sense and feels like a trap.

I lose sometimes and bad sometimes too. I got a weird feeling about this one despite how much I’ve been rooting the gators horn all damn year.

Two things jump out at me.

1.) Scheyer appears to be of that Cal/K mold that seemingly misunderstands great players and how to use them. Everyone in the arena knew what Duke was going to do on that last play because we knew what Duke was going to do in that scenario 5 months ago. To not use it as a diversion to get someone else a look is asking to be derided. Duke will now have another team with three legit top 10 NBA prospects not making the championship game. That's absurd.

2.) The narrative that the hold on Flagg was controversial is essentially overlooking how poorly Scheyer and Duke handled the last 90 seconds of the game. He clearly grabs and pulls the opponents left arm and they've been calling that more all tournament. The fact that he got away with a GIGANTIC hook on his final shot is more than sufficient to offset. Not to mention the guy he fouled was a 63% FT shooter who banged in two FT's to win a Final Four game.

Houston finally lived up to it's gritty persona in a big time game. You love to see it.

 

[august-west]

He had to go to Flagg there. He would have been vilified, and rightfully so, if anyone else had taken the shot. It would have been like Cal having someone beside Harrison take those big shots. Problem with Flagg is that he pretty much makes the same move every time he takes a big shot.

UF wins = good for SEC
UH wins = Hoosiers sad that Kelvin wins a championship

I like it.

 

[UK-Chulo]

Although the Cats aren’t cutting down the nets, have to say it’s been a great tournament.

 

[UKwizard]

If Florida wins tomorrow please go out of your way to find a UofL fan and remind them they have been passed by yet another school on the National Championship list.
