They were playing a team that scored FIFTEEN points in the first half! Let's see happens when they meet a team that can score from anywhere and they have to keep up. If they beat Duke and score under 70 doing it... I'll concede.

It was right at it. 69 would’ve won too.

Houston was easily the most beatable team of the four 1 seeds and it's not even close, even more beatable that Auburn. and UT beat Auburn and Florida this year.

Nope.

69 always wins.

Ok. I'll concede. offense doesnt matter in basketball. Houston proved it. Helluva game.

Ha! I do think you’re right that offensive minded teams generally do better than defensive minded teams but you can’t be really bad at either to win it all. Duke should’ve won that game. They looked better almost the entire way.
