All I could think about watching that epic collapse

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.

Honestly, this was the part of Puke winning it all that I would hate second most, after them tying us of course
 
The two biggest chokes in Final Four history

Dook 2004
Dook 2025

And 1999 was another heartbreaker for the annoited ones

BTW, our joy is largely a result of Dook Vitale's nonstop lovefest. That and a bunch of dorks that know nothing about sports filling their rat infested high school gym

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.

Really a consequence of playing in the ACC. That Toy Poodle League didn't challenge them enough, and when Houston wouldn't quit like the rest of their league did, they had to keep expending energy to hold them off until finally the tank went empty.
 
A key point being wildly overlooked here:

Duke had 3.7 seconds left to inbound the ball and get a shot off. They chose to heave it 3/4 length of the court into a crowd. With that amount of time you could easily inbound to someone near half court, take a few dribbles and get a Villanova/Jenkins 3pt shot off. Poor coaching by Scheyer there and throughout the last 10min of the game.

Tip my hat to Flagg and Kneuppel, those kids are ballers. Obviously ecstatic that Duke is out and Houston has a chance to get a chip for their biggest fan, Jim Nantz.

I was just going to bring up something about this I mentioned how rushed and rattled Duke looked in that last minute. After the FTs Houston had a TO left whike Duke did not, a lot of coaches would have taken it to set up their d, Sampson on though didn't take the TO. He knew he had them on the ropes they hadn't been in that situation and trusted his guys. He knew calling that TO would give Duke time to settle down and come up with something so he let it run and got exactly what he thought he would get something disjointed with a low probability of working
 
I'm sure after the game, the Dookbag "fans" recycled their line from the 1999 & 2004 UConn losses "If we played them 10 times, we'd win 9" :p
 
i sort of get the heave. While there is time to dribble the length of the court, I would have to think there would be a good chance Houston fouls before Duke gets a chance to get a shot off.

Eh, in Duke's defense, if they went to half court Houston would foul. Jenkins was in a tie game. Duke would be in the 1-and-1. They essentially had no chance if they weren't able to get a play with an open player and no Houston player outside of foul range.
 
I admit I fell asleep as there was no way I was going to watch Dook celebrate. Woke up this morning and promised my son I would get him breakfast this morning as he is an early riser and I usually let my wife sleep in on Sunday. Got in my car turned on Sirius XM Mad Dog radio and found out Dook choked.

Although I am sad I missed it live, this morning I got to feel how Christmas morning feels for a kid again.

I have not been this unexpectedly happy when waking up as I was today since I was a kid and there was a ten speed bike next to the Christmas tree.

Dook and Scheyerless get what I hoped they would get and it is a beautiful morning.
 
If Houston had hit half the shots they normally do they would have won by over 20. I knew this Houston team could beat Dook because they way they play the game. Their PG has more moxie than all those we watch and hear about regularly. And they have the best coach in the college game.

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.

I agree that was a bad foul called on Cooper Flagg but I rationalized it with the bad call on the late game Houston turnover that was really Kon Knueppel kicking the ball out of bounds. Hope this provides a different perspective on the officiating and how it may - or may not - have impacted the outcome of the game. Dook had plenty of chances but simply withered.
