One of my favorite Duke teams. And not really because of Flagg. Knueppel, Proctor, and Maluach are just so fun. Great job by Scheyer

My thoughts BEFORE the brackets are released….
Duke will lose to the 2nd SEC team they face
Michigan elite 8
St Johns survives round 1 and then makes it to regional final and gets smoked
SEC overall….underperforms
UNC makes tournament, infuriates many and wins play in game and then round 1
Iowa St underperforms again
Big 10 4 teams make Sweet 16
Still pretty tight on this

I think regardless of what happens next weekend- still a phenomenal job. I know the metrics say this is one of the best teams ever but I feel like K had better teams that did less.
Most recently the ‘10 team with Kyrie/Singler/Smith.
‘16 team with Allen/Kennard/Tatum.
‘18 team with Zion and RJ Barrett.

He’s done a great job…now go win it all
Throw ball away on inbounds and Proctor missing 1 and 1
Geesh
Why didn’t Proctor pass it he’s a bad ft shooter
Holy choke job Duke. Up 67-61 with a minute to go, lose 70-67.
Seems like all tournament long teams have struggled to inbound and break the press.
Now poor Cooper gets to go to the Wizards.

That’s crazy to me…how is a good guard at a great college school a bad free throw shooter. He makes them or they don’t throw ball away, either one…they win
Oh well when Houston took a 68-67 lead near the end I put $10 on Houston ML and used a 30% boost
Cost me a $110 pool had Florida beat Duke but as is I win $60 regardless of who wins in my school pool
First time all year I thought Scheyer got out-coached.
Duke scored 9, NINE, points in the las 10:30 of the game. Couldn't or didn't have a plan to inbounds ball against pressure. James looked scared/lost trying to inbound. Didn't get Kon Knueppel touches or shots in the final 10 minutes. He had 2 shot attempts and only 1 free throw attempt in 2H.
Proctor and Maluach were not very good either which obviously didn't help.
Just too bad. Duke was the better team. But Houston made the plays and hung around.
Duke reloads and wipes the clean slate again next season. Only returning guys back are Evans and Ngonbga who combined for 7 total minutes last night. Caleb Foster could be back, depending on the transfer portal.
By the way, last night my least favorite thing in sports occurred.
Down three with 3.7 seconds left, Duke inbounds by throwing the football pass the length of the court. This pass is rarely completed cleanly, which it wasn’t in this case either.
After the first round or two, my bracket sucked and was last in my friends' group. Now, I'm in the lead with both finalists correctly picked. So, kudos to Florida and Houston for making it look like I had a clue this year! Florida wins Monday, I win our pool.
Or to paraphrase: LAST NIGHT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
The defense by Florida…damn
Todd Golden is incred
Wtf lol why bounce it like that throw up the bad shot

Was it the defense by Florida or did Houston poor shooting finally catch up? HOU shot 38% from the field in their 3 final games...playing w/ fire.

Florida went smaller and from there on Houston had trouble scoring and well the final shot never even happened
What I watched….it was Florida
