Wow. What a crazy end of game run for Houston to knock out Duke.

Cooper that's why you want a real coach drawing plays for you lol

 

[uconnbaseball]

I am tearing up right now. Duke might have lost, but they are still champions in my book

 

[jibsey]

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

Yes but…. There are 50 no calls that could have been to get to that point.

Clingan would have shut a lot of the interior stuff down.

And Karaban is a good post defender. We would of have Castle shutting down Knueppel. We would of beat their 2 headed monster by a lot.

 

[Scoe]

I would feel a lot worse getting Cooper Flagg and having an all time choke job. Funny thing is I was just about to type well single digits their not 2024 UConn then this happens lol.

Holy crap what happened to the Duke game? It was a minute and a half left and Duke was up by something like six.

An angel got its wings.

 

[superjohn]

That was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. I was worried about the game getting to a 20 point lead a couple times. Sampson is incredible and so are those kids.

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

Did Kelvin just call the American the Toy Poodle League??? Lmao

 

[Stagnant]

I didn’t want Flagg to win a championship at Duke. So, I am thrilled with this choke job. I am thrilled that Houston has eliminated them.

 

[controlfade]

Puke with a massive choke , that was awesome to watch

 

[BGesus4]

wow it didn’t feel like Houston had a chance to win that game for about 39 minutes of game time

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Did Kelvin just call the American the Toy Poodle League??? Lmao

He may have been referring to the ACC.

 

[uconnblueinky]

Half the Duke message board is saying it's the worst choke job of all time and the other half is complaining that they don't get any calls

 

[aceboon]

I figured when this scene happened this image would become useful later on

 

[uconngb]

25-8 Houston over the last 8 minutes

That’s is a wicked combination of awful coaching and awful execution……..not quite as bad as blowing an 8 point lead with 2:30 to go, but close. Glad Coach K was in the building to experience both of those.

Duck Fuke

You just hate to see it…

 

[UConnRock]

That had vibes of the UConn comeback against Duke in the 2004 semi final. Best feeling in a non-UConn game ever

 

[Ripper32]

The gillis technical helped Houston get off the mat.

 

[connVA]

Straight from Sampson’s mouth- the ACC will heretofore be known as the “Toy Poodle League.” Works for me

 

[3rdbass]

Duke collapses with a 9 point lead under 3 minutes in San Antonio. Doen't that sound similar? Our 2004 semi-final game is pretty similar(My brother and I were at that to watch that magic). Duke got outcoached. How can't you win with the best players and all those McDonald all-americans? Go win it all Houston and beat the overrated SEC team.

 

[ninety-nine]

Welp, break out the White Lotus meme. We're gonna be seeing a lot of Jason Isaacs in that Duke T-shirt this year.

EDIT: Whoops! While I was posting this, someone made it happen!

 

[Stew Crew]

Not the first time Duke has choked in San Antonio in the semis. 2004.

 

[UCFan1513]

He may have been referring to the ACC.

Holy crap even better - I think you’re right

Perfect timing !!!!!

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The NCAA gave Sampson a 5 year show-cause for freaking text messages at Indiana while coaches like Calipari and Pearl did whatever they wanted.

I am definitely rooting for Houston.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

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

Houston got the rebound anyways
