"Toy Poodle League" LMMFAO!!!!!!

That was great!!!

[CalStateTempe]

So wtf happened


My wife told me to take my kids to Nanny’s house, at the 34 second timeout with Duke with the ball in Houston down three.

No check the score, and Houston wins? Wow.

Did they hit two threes with defensive stops and Duke missing a free throws?

Sampson wins COY for that line alone.

Stole an inbounds pass and scored. Got a stop and made 2 FTs. I think. But my brain dysfunctioned.

I kinda hate how much I love him since he keeps kicking our ass. lol

But if someone has to kick our ass at least he's likable as fuck.

ESPN has the last 20 seconds that show how it all happened. The "Duke, Cooper Flagg fall to Houston in chaotic ending" video.

And now I don't have to eat a banana.
Bless you cougs!!

[TheCat]

Sampson thanked the other B12 teams and their coaches for getting them ready. You could tell he had heard enough.

We've ALL heard enough. Take it home, Houston!

[IrishAzCat]

[EastCoastCat]

Just amazing…can’t believe Duke fell apart.

We know how resilient the Cougs are and now the rest of the country knows as well.

[Postmaster]

Knipple looks like Lady Mormont

[U.P. Zona Fan]

I really hope the Cougs go the distance, all we have heard this year was how great the SEC was and Duke and Cooper Flagg, I hope they rewrite the whole narrative of the season on Monday!! Good start in the last 2 games.

[AZCatGirl]

The narrative around our game against Duke was how they hadn't been in many tight games this year. Shows why playing in a Pac 12 type of league isn't very helpful in March.

[CalStateTempe]

First time ever I’ve rooted for the conference and a conference foe to win a chipper before Arizona

Weird feels, but they feel right.

Go Houston! Love the Big12

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Man the Duke boards are reeling.
Would be tough to be a Dukie tonight.
They are saying worst loss ever. That collapse was crazy.
No lead over Houston is safe.

[Postmaster]

Losing in the FF can't be your worst loss ever.

Send them a link to the DWill game

[pc in NM]

I think the Duke/Houston game lived up to my expectations...

... Duke looked as awesome as most predicted, and the way they handled Houston throughout demonstrated just how good they really are (or, should I say "were"??).

The persistence, the comeback, and "D" being such a part of the final was Houston at it's best!!

I've never enjoyed the dead end of one of my brackets as much as I did last night!!

I'm rooting for the Boomer coach on Monday!!!

[azcat49]

Can’t believe I woke up today and actually felt bad for Duke and Cooper Flagg. Such a new and weird feeling

There’s probably a hotline you can call to work through that kind of extreme mental disassociation.

[Irish27]

Duke fans now know how we felt after losing to Illinois in 2005.

I hope they are permanently scarred. I hope the Durham mental health community is overwhelmed for a decade.

Last night's Duke/Houston game, with that remarkable ending, reminded of nothing so much as Notre Dame's scoring the final 11 points in its 1974 upset of UCLA and coach John Wooden, 71-70, ending UCLA's 88-game winning streak, and making for life-long misery for Bill Walton...

... Duke, like UCLA, was comfortably in control throughout, then "garbage time" tuned into one of the great upsets ever!!!

College basketball delivers!!!!

[pc in NM]

Scheyer, afterthe game:

“You’re an inch away from the national championship game, you go from some of the most special moments in the tournament to the most heartbreaking loss. … There’s a lot of pain that comes with this.”

The difference was that was a regular season game at Notre Dame.

Thought due to relevancy you would have recounted the Game of the Century at the Astrodome when Houston’s Big E outplayed Alcindors’s Bruins.

I didn't watch that game (In 1968, I didn't spend much time in front of the TV ) - but that was also a regular season game; Kareem was still recovering from an eye injury - and the ending was in no way similar....

[Fishclamps]

Scheyer made a lot of headscratching decisions late in that one.

Obviously the most glaring one is changing their style of play to burn clock (never works for anyone), but keeping Maluach in when he had ZERO rebounds for the entire game was certainly a choice.

Looks like Geno is going to win another natty.

A boring blowout is not what I expected from that game. Disappointing it wasn't more entertaining.

[CalStateTempe]

Went to Texas Roadhouse and downed a shiner bock.

Did my part.

Go Houston, go big12!

First time in a while I’ve cared for the national champ game.

[84Cat]

Houston needs to contain Walter Clayton to have a shot here. Uzan needs to stay out of foul trouble

Go Big 12!

[84Cat]

Houston looks slow

[dovecanyoncat]

Houston defends every inch all the way to the rim.

[dmjcat]

Is it just me or do all of the Houston players look like they are 25 years old???

[CalStateTempe]

That was a good stretch for Houston

[dovecanyoncat]

I'm way more emotionally invested in Houston than I thought I'd be.

Did you catch the Sasquatch State comment from Sampson?

[84Cat]

How do you miss that goal tend?

[Alieberman]

Houston only allowing Florida 28 points at half and zero for Clayton is pretty damn good

[dovecanyoncat]

Did you catch the Sasquatch State comment from Sampson?

Not in its entirety. I can guess though. Imagine having Sampson as your Dad and coming home real late after fucking up the home rules and dinging his car in the process. Life going forward would pose no fear.

[dovecanyoncat]

Steals, TOs, and blocks are keeping them ahead. Hard to imagine they're gonna get an extra 8 FGAs in the 2h too. Hope they're offense gets more efficient.

[ProfessorFate]

My bracket is invested in Florida, but my wallet is invested in Houston.

Go Cougs.

[dovecanyoncat]

Here come the make up fouls.
