We just witnessed the biggest choke college basketball history

[dougtushyterror]

Duke live was off the board a lot of the second half

They were -5000 at one point

BTW the only 2 times Flo ever played Hou were both yrs the NYK won the
NYK Future looking kinda intriguing right about now.

Had Duke over 71.5 TT and think I needed 12 points with over 8 min. left. Figured I was golden.

The more I think about those final minutes after Flagg hit the 3 to put Duke up nine I truly believe the last sentence of this quote

Not joking around like JJ saying Duke coach needs to be fired

But look at how Sampson approached the final 3 minutes. His passion, the look in his eyes and his mannerisms on the sideline

Houston coach and players looked like they never doubted they could still win

Duke coach and as a result his players looked like a deer in the headlights late

Even the last play to Flagg. You have to go to the basket there. No player on the floor could stop him from getting that bank shot from 4-5 feet away or less he gets

Instead he shoots a fade-away 15-footer that was low-percentage with zero chance of getting fouled

I saw -10000 late & could've bet it up to $937,500 if I had the funds. I'm sure someone did.

Holy macaroni

Even pro teams (Lakers and LeBron) can get tired and screw up inbounding plays. It's like PK series in soccer. Many teams don't practice them, cause why bother it happens twice a year, and Duke players were not ready for the pressure.

 

[lapenti]

I said they were young

it bit them blowing out everybody all year.

Do you like Houston on Monday, Pimike?

What’s even more shocking Duke has superior players

Duke’s problem every year is that they don’t recruit mentally and physically tough players. Gets them every year.
Think the last tough guy they had was Zoubek, like 15 years ago.

Wow...

• The game looked like a lock with 8 minutes left, up by 14.
• Then it looked finished with 3 minutes left up by 9.
• Then it finished again, up by 6 with 42 seconds left.

Then it wasn't .
What an incredible collapse by Duke.

 

[jjgold]

they didn’t score a field goal in like eight minutes. I didn’t even realize it.

 

[lekidecincinnati]

in case u missed it

 

[pipe]

Duke up 14 points with a little over 8 minutes left. Up 6 points with 34 seconds left and choke the Championship game away and lose 70-67. You can't even make this shit up.

You said it better. There you go

Epic comeback.
Hell of a game.

 

[sunshine11]

a lot of sloppy play, silly foul by Flagg, missed FT, TO, terrible shot, they didn’t deserve it.

 

[pipe]

They actually played it all the way to the end without the usual foul fuckery. What a beautiful thing to watch if you had money on Houston. That Houston defense through last minutes though. Not so much excitement if you had Duke.
