    I think the inbounder (James?) messed up, a duke player was able to get open very early on the fateful inbounds steal and James didn't see him. And it was their best free throw shooter to boot
    Absolutely but the whole "if" game goes both ways. If they don't call that foul then Houston is forced to score against a set defense instead of getting gift wrapped FT's as well.

      I think what both of use wanted to see. Was the refs not interfere. Sending them to the line the in a physical game like that. Houston turned the physical up in the second half. Got the game there. Then the refs send them to the line for the win. Yeah let them play. That's what I wanted to see. There is no doubt Duke lost that game. Houston did everything congrats to them. Can't wait to see the final now.

        He had plenty of time for an easy pass to get the ball out of hands and keep It. Yes if he is that bad of a shooter don’t have him in

          Man that was unreal. What a choke by Duke. That's an all timer. Insane resilience by Houston. Weak call on the Flagg foul. I'm actually shocked they did that to Duke. A call went against Duke. Is this the Twilight zone.

              The turning point was that technical on Gillis that turned that into a 6 point possession and immediately chopped the lead from 14 to 8 and then Duke's inexperience cost them the last minute of the game. Unfortunate, waited 44 years to see Duke play in person only to lose that chance at the last minute, literally, lol.

                  Watching this review this morning.



                  Like we are really calling that nonsense. The physicalness was at an all time high all game (for both teams). That's why it was a good game.

                    Watching those last few minutes Duke just flat out blew it. Definitely think Duke should of tried a strong drive to the basket on that one critical possession instead of gone with a Cooper Flagg iso fader. Legs were tired and that's not a shot he was hitting much. Scheyer played hero ball with him one too many times.

                    It's easy to sit here and say that. But that's not the shot I want. Spectacular resilience and energy by Houston but Duke just choked it away. They had to do everything wrong. I'm not sure Scheyer will get a generational talent and as complete a team as that one again. He'll be back in the Final four but that's a tough tough loss. But it gave me joy lol

                      The iso fader was Duke trying a strong drive to the basket. I can guarantee you Scheyer did not say in the huddle "okay Cooper I want you to do a turnaround fade from the elbow."

                      What he likely did say is give the ball to Cooper to attack the basket, if the defense collapses we trust him to find the open man, if they stay at home we trust he will be able to beat his defender for a good look.

                      It was just better on ball defense but I can't fault Duke for putting the ball in the hands of this year's Wooden award winner.

                                UConn went on a tear after the Lady Vols beat them. They won 16 straight with 14 bring the closest margin of victory.
