Game 39: Duke vs Houston; Saturday - 7:49pm CST - CBS (W 70-67)

I thought the same thing. If the plan was to foul Roberts if the FT was missed, that was accomplished with the minimum clock spent.

Obviously Duke wanted to make the FTs, or get a clean rebound if possible, but next best option was zero clock spent to send Roberts to a 1-and-1.

Think it might’ve been the first time the tallest team in the country was out rebounded by 11 in a final four game as well. lol

I think Flagg had the runs

Heck I had already told my wife to cancel our reservations for Sunday and Monday.
I was pretty much down in the dumps watching the Duke fans celebrate.
Of course you always hope you can still win the game but to be honest I had lost hope until Sharp hit that step back Trey.
One of the great tourney comebacks and so happy this old man was able to be there.

For the Duke fans that want to whine about the officiating, I hope they look at that too!

Who had Maluch down for 0 rebounds?

We secured that RB that Flagg got the over the back call on so :person_shrugging:

Jwan on Flagg = Jwan wins. Only lost this matchup in the 1st half when someone came to help. He didn’t need help.

Not sure the LA alumni group was ready for me and Fred to to be that loud and perhaps obnoxious in a public bar. Hat tip to my game friend, Fred from Culver City

There were two very clear OOB calls that went to Duke, one in each half

One of my keys to the game was keeping Maluach off the boards, I posted it in the matchup thread. Apparently they were listening!

Classic!

lol

Except this isn’t true. Biggest 2nd half comeback was 15 by Loyola Chicago in 1963. It was the 5th overall. Largest was 22 by Duke in 2001 but that was a 1st half deficit.

You should work PR for the NCAA.

Haha, I like to be accurate

This would have been a big deal back before the brackets came out

These matchups don’t come around often
