Final 4 post

Cooper Flagg blew it. Could have had a national championship, but hitched his wagon to the wrong program.

Nice collapse, Dukies.

Proctor was the one who really blew it for Duke. He was absolute rubbish in the second half

C’mon CBS. We need way more shots of crying Duke fans. You’ve got one job to do.

I am on the record in a previous thread saying I didn’t care if Duke won the tourney given we’ve beaten them in a national title and final 4 games. However, it does feel good watching them choke on the big stage!!

 

[Scoe]

If a call like this happened to UConn in a final four game I would be ready to crash out

Was that Breeding making that call lol. Was a bad call but Duke was stupid enough to put themselves in that position.

 

[uconngb]

Agreed, that's ticky tack in a November game vs Fordham, nevermind the Final Four. Crazy call.

I didn’t see a DAMN thing wrong with it

Cooper, yea he’s got dough but he gave UConn the heave ho during recruiting and he never gets to even play for a national championship, and his parents are crying in the closet.

Houston finished the game on 15-3 run in the last three minutes.

On another note why is the word t3rrible banned on this board? Is the mod really this neurotic?

'terrible.

it's not.

The thought of dejected Duke students and alum crying in their pillows tonight will have me sleeping like a baby.

Everybody had Brooke v Flagg preordained for an epic showdown and both crapped the bed. If we only held it together against Florida … only if.

Pooper Gagg…that’s the best I’ve got

And Cooper’s mommy and daddy who they had on tv every second.

I just wanted to see Coach K crying. That would of topped off a great game. LOL!

Enjoying the Dookie meltdown

He's probably thrilled. One of the all time "me" guys in the sport.

Duke up 8, 9 points with 3 minutes left on a final 4 game, what could possibly go wrong

Conflicted in happy to see Duke lose but tbh I would have rather seen a Duke vs Florida final from a viewing perspective

Why? There is no reason to want to see Duke in the final. I wanted Houston and so happy they won. It will be a great Finals and I hope Houston wins!

Difference in 2004 was that UConn took the game from Duke and frankly UConn was the better team. They would have beat Duke by more of it wasn't for those two bogus foul calls on Okafor in the first half as they were on their way to giving them a whooping.
This game against Houston however was a choke job. I don't care if Duke was mainly lead by freshmen, they should have closed it out. Plus that foul call on Flagg was BS.

The dook board is in full meltdown mode.

Yes, a basketball fan who prefers this year's Duke brand of basketball over Houston's, sorry that upsets you, cornball

 

[Gutter King]

First McNeeley's vs. Memphis, now Cooper's. IMO two of the biggest calls of the season went against the Montverde boys. I'd like to see how our trajectory would have changed if we snagged that first game in Maui. Regardless, if we aren't going to win a chip....watching Duke lose one of the most heartbreaking games I've ever seen is a satisfying enough consolation prize.

 

[sdglast]

Let's face it, that loss torpedoed the ratings for Monday's game. Not that I am complaining. I hope it's a great game no matter who wins on Monday.
