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

we had to have a record breaking conference showing to even be a 1 seed this year so maybe this team just likes doing things the hard way :sob:

When Dukes best player is a one and done freshman, they tend to collapse at some point in the tournament. Jayson Tatum has zero national titles. Zion Williamson has zero national titles. We can apply defensive pressure like no one else and add Cooper Wooper or whatever to that list.

You know that’s a guy on a message board right? Not Scheyer, it’s important to me that you know that.

So who do we put on Cooper Flagg?
Is it Arceneaux to start the game?

Yes. One of their best teams of all time.

Tugler. Big 12 defensive player of the year. He can guard the perimeter.

Honestly, TA dialed in isn’t a bad choice. Especially outside the paint.

I’d love Tugler on him but I think Flagg ports him on the bench with fouls pretty quick

Honestly give Flagg the KD( in his prime) treatment. Try your best to limit him but shut everyone else down. He’s going to score his points regardless. Make him beat you by himself.

We can put Jojo on an island with Flagg if CKS thinks that will work.

Flagg would probably draw 2 phantom fouls on Tugler by the first tv timeout lol

also we kinda need him to stay competitive on the glass

Houston’s bigs must stay out of foul trouble.

Gonzaga 2020-21 team is a little suprising in hindsight

Suggs, Nembhard, Kispert, Timme. Elite offensive team. (31-1). But lacked that rim protector that alot of these elite teams have

Yea just have T-Arc stay on Flagg.

No. The gray UH polo is a lucky charm.

CKS has all week to figure out what to do with Cooper Flagg.

Kid’s blocking his path to Monday night.

Every game this tournament so far we’ve been the favorite, for once, we are not the favorite.

I think having a whole week to game plan, plus if the Houston fans show up in SA to give a home field advantage, we have a good shot at winning and making the nation championship game

I don’t like that they have a week to prepare for our team. Purdue did and they had a good gameplan. The quick turn around game is usually our advantage. Plus, Sheyer faced our defense last year. Also, those cats can shoot the basketball.

Auburn is as good if not better than Duke. Not as much talent but a better team
