Duke Post Game Thread

[Ha Who]

Wow. SPEECHLESS

 

[SubbaBub]

At the half Barkley said specifically that he didn't think UConn was athletic enough to be able to come back.

Good thing it's not the 110m hurdles.

From the other side of the hill...

Scheyer deserved to lose that game. What other big time coach intentionally fouls up 3 with 10 seconds left? That screams “I don’t trust my team”. Just watched the D00k presser and Scheyer literally said nothing about UConn. Not congrats on the comeback, just “we don’t deserve to lose the game like that”

I have been off and on crying for 10 minutes. I love this school and these people so much

They’re practically sitting shiva for Duke here

duke radio wanted a tech lmao

A technical? Dear lord…..

This team is going to Indianapolis with so much house money, they should put Mullins’s face on the dollar bill.

 

[Mister P]

Boozers inexperience prevailed on that last pass. All he had to do was hold on to the ball.

 

[SubbaBub]

Scheyer's mistake is not feeding Boozer like we fed Reed. We had no answer for him. Duke could have fed him every possession and won the game just on fouls and the law of averages.

 

[Boost'ED]

I was literally in tears the last minute. Epic game and a classic.

So many small things of note in the methodical comeback.

Ultimately we hold super high standards and expectations for our team, and despite uneven play down the season, they've shown steadfast resiliency.

I’m extremely superstitious and can’t watch big games live
I watch the game play by play on Fox or ESPN which is nerve racking enough
Down 10 late I said what the heck and turned on the game just as Demery hit the three’s and it was game on .
It looked pretty bleak down 2 , 10 seconds to go and they have the ball
For some reason I felt it wasn’t over as they Duke looked a little shaky on a previous possession and I thought with pressure a TO was possible then only foul if you fail to to get it
Always make them try to beat .
When we got the TO and Mullins was wide open I knew that was money .
You don’t give Indiana boys wide open looks even from 25
But it was an incredible win I did scream a bit.
I see we’re already being written off by the experts as a sideshow with the main event on Saturday between AZ and Michigan . Sometime that alleged “real NC game “ only produces a runner up .
Because you have to play the games for real to determine who’s best .
Beating Duke is always special

The one guy I wouldn't want to be when the chat transcript is posted is the dude who said the season was an epic fail with about 10 minutes left in the game because UConn brought home no hardware.

Boozers inexperience prevailed on that last pass. All he had to do was hold on to the ball.

Clearly, but in that spot a lot of guys filp it ahead where there are two unguarded players. Holding it means free throws and a last possession. He puts that above the defender, even straight up, the clock runs out.

He was on the court. What is that dude watching?

 

[Skiblets]

CBS sports network is doing post game UConn presser should be soon

 

[Chin Diesel]

 

[temery]

Just watched the Duke presser. Scheyer and Boozer who was crying

I can't blame them. That would've been Hurley and Karaban if UConn lost.

 

[Dove]

A technical? Dear lord…..

Surprised it wasn't called...lol

 

[uconnyankee]

Biggest shot since Tate?

That's the miracle but Tarris was the engine. 25/9/3 with 2 steals and 4 blocks. 63% from the field. Genuinely an all-time performance.

Probably worth a thread. There have been quite a few of these last second wins in the tourney.

Tie down the sofas in storrs

 

[Tenspro2002]

Shades of Daniel Hamilton to Jalen Adams with an experienced player passing up a final shot to a freshman

This wasn't Karaban deferring, this was Karaban doing what he always does -- making the smart basketball play and getting the ball to the open guy.

 

[Chin Diesel]

He was on the court. What is that dude watching?

Announcer was talking about Millender coming off the bench to celebrate.

I was totally going to post a "first in with someone crying for a UConn bench celebrating T" but this guy best me to it.

Anyone check to see if the campus is still standing?

And some of you guys wanted to play St. John’s. This was glorious in ways a St. John’s game can never be. Just epic. Most incredible UConn moment since the Shot. There will be a “where were you?” thread about this moment.

Hats off to Tarris who was a warrior today. Put the team on his back. Silas with clutch 3s, and the tipped ball that lead to Mullins breaking the hearts of Dukies everywhere. Magical.
