Jay Bilas reaction

As an aside, it took the Coogs over eight minutes to score 9 points to start the game. It took less than one minute to score 9 points to end the game.

The reason they got there isn’t lost on Duke coach Jon Scheyer, who said after the game: ā€œI mean, they’re never going to stop. So my messaging throughout the whole way with the team was, understand this team doesn’t go away. So no lead is safe with them.ā€

Thanks for the good words, Rez.

I was a student at UH during the fateful 83 and 84 years.

When we got down by 14, i admit i started to feel that old dejected feeling. Tomorrow night is gonna be tough for us old Coogs…thanks for hanging out with us.

Go Cyclones!
Go Coogs!

Outstanding writeup.

CKS and the Coogs exorcised all the demons.

The UH vs Duke game could very well be Duke’s version of the North Carolina St. vs UH game in 1983. Most national pundits viewed Duke as having superior talent. It is unthinkable for a team that talented to lose. I think this loss for Duke will be remembered for a long time. Conversely, this win by UH will also be remembered for a long time.

This Duke team is good but not PSJ good, imo.

That NC St team lost lost double digit games playing in ACC, was a double digit seed and not ranked, iirc.

This Houston team lost four games (3 in OT) won the Big XII, was a one seed and ranked #3.

1983 game was an epic upset. Last night not so much.

Just to let you know, I just rewatched the last 10 minutes of the game and we won again!!! I’m still on a Cougar High, in the clouds, and basking in the glow of a great win.

Ground Control to Major Flagg.

It’s like watching a rerun such that even while watching it you feel the worst outcome is unavoidable.

Watch the rerun of the UH vs Notre Dame Cotton Bowl. No way UH will lose!!!
