They choked. Look at the run Houston went on. Duke collapsed in the final 2 minutes

Bama was up a touchdown against Michigan with 1 minute to go in the 4th quarter and had the fricking ball in the Rose bowl, and ended up losing in Overtime.

So you’re saying we lost the game or Michigan won that game legitimately?

It’s the latter fyi

This.

Blaming refs is a cop out and just plain dumb. Duke’s inbounding plays were god awful. Duke didn’t block out on rebounds. Duke dribbled the ball out of bounds on their leg. Duke couldn’t hit free throws and Houston was money.

So here’s one for you:

Bama was up a touchdown against Michigan with 1 minute to go in the 4th quarter and had the fricking ball in the Rose bowl, and ended up losing in Overtime.

Did Bama choke or did Michigan win?

Exactly. Houston made the plays down the stretch while Duke didn't.

Duke played not to lose. Coaches inexperience showed. Had the more talented team. Couldn’t close.

I hate Duke, but it was a horrible call and especially for a Final Four game.

Just like the refs gave Dook the ball when the Dook player kicked it out of bounds.


Why was that non-reviewable? That's a pretty ghey rule

Duke scored ONE FG in the last 10 minutes. ONE. That’s how you lose.

UH never gave up and wore them down.

Duke hasn’t been as battle tested like UH has. Lots of experience on that team. Made some huge plays and got momentum. That’s what won the game.

Not at all.

Houston is a veteran team with NCAA playoff experience and came through in the clutch.

Dukies could not hold a double digit lead.

Duke choked it away. The foul on Flagg with 19 seconds left was a terrible call but if Proctor didn’t have a terrible game that call wouldn't have mattered.

The final is a much more boring matchup now. Houston’s style is just boring. At least Clayton is exciting to watch for Florida.

What you witnessed is what happens when you panic. Duke Panicked. It took turnovers and missed shots to make it all possible in such a short period of time, but Duke pulled it off. The Player of the Year missed a short jumper, and it was over.
