Just an absolute perfect clinic put on by Houston down the stretch

 

[Lukusw]

Duke scored NINE points in the last 10:31.

 

[C-south]

I would think Duke will be a 4 to 6 point favorite over UF.

Right as usual.

 

[hUTch2002]

I can’t remember who but there was some poster saying something about Houston not being able to beat Duke scoring 70. Seems they were wrong.

 

[omghulkhands]

This tournament will be remembered as the one of missed free throws.

Aidoo

Texas Tech

Now Duke..

 

[LittleCat]

Houston ain't beating Duke.

Nailed it

 

[Plecoptera]

Absolutely incredible game.

 

[vavolfan6]

Jon Scheyer should be fired for losing that game. If you can't win with Cooper Flagg and that roster, up as much as you were, you will never win a national championship.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Unbelievable performance by Houston down the stretch. Big choke job by Duke, though, to not find a way to hold on.

 

[Switch 625]

A few minutes ago, ESPN.com headline said “Duke in control…”

 

[JCP201]

Houston like a pit bull. Wild game

 

[SGMVols]

Duke scored NINE points in the last 10:31.

Defense still matters.

 

[n_huffhines]

Sharp traveled after the Flagg miss. He took 3 steps without dribbling before passing the ball. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

 

[lawgator1]

Right as usual.

Lol

I think we'd rather end up with Houston than Duke. Duke the better team, but lost focus when it seemed to be over. What was it, 7 points in 15 seconds ?

 

[Voltopia]

Hell of a fight. Hell of a fight. Putting out Duke like that, coming back, making mistakes, and still clawing it out.

Now go get that championship, Houston.

 

[Vol4lif3]

blue bloods aren’t winning **** this year but espn will still talk about them not how Houston made an incredible comeback

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Houston! You beautiful sob’s!

 

[volsarelife1]

ESPN will be very upset and nearly crying because of this outcome

 

[Plecoptera]

I thought the late technical was going to end Houston’s comeback effort. Duke melted down in the last minute or so.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I really love their team. Hard not to. Also, Duck Fuke.

 

[n_huffhines]

I blame Scheyer for the inbounds stuff. IDK if James was concussed but he was shook. All these complicated inbounds plays when all they had to do was iso post up Flagg on Sharp.

 

[Voltopia]

Sharp traveled after the Flagg miss. He took 3 steps without dribbling before passing the ball. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

And Flagg hooked his defender - I mean full arm around the waist hooked - before he missed that shot. So. It's a wash.

 

[Namorto1]

Houston had no business winning that game. Such toughness and poise. I’m very happy for Sampson. I hope they win it all.

 

[fear]

kinda wild that TN in both postseasons (football & basketball run into the the national champs and maybe eventual national champs) wild stuff

 

[Volizona]

Now go finish it Houston
