They're still behind us

I slept through the whole second half

Duke losing is always more exciting for me than Uconn winning it all.

I still have nightmares of 1990. Drinking a blue moon tallboy to celebrate.

 

[Deepster]

No one is afraid to play Duke anymore.

 

[BugsyCT]

Duke had one FG the last 10 1/2 minutes of the game

Currently watching the ‘04 semifinal for the 3000th time as a chaser

 

[DCHuskyFan]

No one really ever remembers the teams that lost in F4 semi-finals. Footnotes in history.

 

[uconngb]

Duke had one FG the last 10 1/2 minutes of the game

Is that bad???

 

[uconngb]

No one really ever remembers the teams that lost in F4 semi-finals. Footnotes in history.

I remember who lost the 2004 semi final

 

[ec33]

You hate to see it. But more than that....

 

[JakeTheDog]

This makes me so happy if only for the fact we won’t have to read Jon Scheyer puff pieces proclaiming him the greatest coach since his predecessor.

 

[UC0NN]

I almost had to hear about this Duke team being an all time great team.

 

[DCHuskyFan]

I remember who lost the 2004 semi final

I stand corrected, no one who wasn‘t a fan of the winning or losing teams

Really enjoying the Duke board still whining about 1999 and 2004. This loss really brought back memories for them.

Duke losing is always more exciting for me than Uconn winning it all.

What? Are you insane?

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

If Scheyer couldn’t win with the once-in-a-generation talent Flagg and the embarrassment of talent on this roster…have to think he will never win one.

Couldn’t happen to a better program.

ACC is in trouble when your lead coaches are Scheyer and Davis. Gotta love it!

Maybe Flagg will be so crushed by this loss and decide he can’t leave college without a championship….and transfer to UConn!

Nice job Houston but 12-0 > 11-1

Thank you. How am I supposed to get to sleep?

 

[JCisthegoat]

thats the most glorious duke L I’ve seen not Vs Uconn

 

[JCisthegoat]

No one really ever remembers the teams that lost in F4 semi-finals. Footnotes in history.

Duke fans remember 04 and they’ll remember this one. They somehow think the refs jobbed them in 04 even though the 2 touch fouls on Okafor were the only reason the game was close

 

[Dooooooomed]

Tarris returns & Duke chokes. What a day to be a UConn fan!

 

[Fishy]

In a nutshell, the killers caught the posers.

It took a while, but Houston wore Duke down - with a few minutes left, Duke was walking everywhere. Flagg was toast - Houston took their legs, their souls and the game, in that order.

 

[The Viking]

For those saying that the officials screw Duke, recall the play where Duke kicked the ball out of bounds and got it back. Enough said.
Scheyer is Vinnie Barbarino without the accent and hair.
#brotherhood and for the flagg family #motherhood

 

[willie99]

Duke had one FG the last 10 1/2 minutes of the game

Those damn refs

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I saw a thread on here that said “hahahaha” so I watched the last five minutes just now and I’m glad I did. Weak call on Flagg but I’ll take it. Never a bad night when Duke chokes off a final four. Will sleep easy.

 

[AdamaNation]

Houston can thank the ref who called a bogus foul on Cooper with 20 secs left, that led to Houston taking the lead. I mean Duke choked big time. But so did that ref.

Even though it was after this foul cooper totally hooked his defender on that last shot. That was about the best officiated game I’ve seen this year. Let’s get em to the big east.

 

[Scrutineer]

Memorable images at the end:
4-stunned and blank look on Flagg's face
3-Proctor (?) cuddling up to Flagg and asking "why" as they walked off
2-Scheyer talking too much and choking up in his post game interview while not giving Houston the credit they were due
1-two Dukie "lovelies" in tears in the crowd

 

[Scrutineer]

Flagg has to be asking himself why he didn't make the right choice.......

 

[housekeys]

Does anyone think fans, especially Duke, Auburn, Florida and Houston, realize just how hard it is to win one NCAA championship? How hard it is to win back to back?

I hope UConn's dominance the past 2 years is put into proper perspective by the fans and media. How lucky were UConn fans to experience no battles on our way to those championships. Just coronations. Amazing!

 

[husky99]

always hate puke

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Flagg has to be asking himself why he didn't make the right choice.......

He made a choice that he valued Coach hugs and frat boy love over Championship culture and NBA development. This shouldn't be a surprise.

I'd take the championship ring and elite coaching myself...but he will always have that "Duke Brotherhood" patch on his letterman jacket at the Duke reunions, so kudos to him.
