Root for Houston. In 1999, Kelvin Sampson was the only coach or national media person who said UConn would beat Duke in the NC.

Was he really, I remember the pre game and remember quite a bit of coaches picked UConn. I remember Digger Phelps did and Rick Majerus.

Digger Phelps picked UConn as well. Out of a panel of 20 people, there were 3 that picked UConn to win from what I recall.

I remember Brian Ellerbe the Michigan head coach at the time being one of the few

I remember watching the pre-game and waiting for somebody (anybody) to pick UConn and Sampson did. I didn’t remember anyone else doing that. But now as I think about, Digger Phelps picking us sounds right. It’s been 26 years and I’m old. I stand corrected.

Would love to hear as to the context they were used.
That was a BLEEP call or You are a BLEEP'N BLEEP

Does it matter? If it were Hurley either one would have been news for a day.

It was definetly an epic choke job.

I had too much to drink. It was one of the worst chokes ever, Duke scored 1 field goal in the final 11 minutes of the game. Supposedly generational player and a bunch of other NBA players, highest rated offense ever on Kenpom and barfed all over their shoes when it mattered.
