Game Day
Just got to my office. During our morning teams meeting, some coworker, doesnât have a dog in the fight said,âhow does everyone feel about that cooper Flagg foul?â
I said âI mean they choked away a 14 point lead, thatâs on Dukeâ
It went silentâŠâŠthen she private messages me âreal defensive there my friend, I asked about the foul and you talked about the lead lossâ

Pesik and Jayme Hollingsworth give you all you need to know on the best breakdown on the game.
I like Jay Bilasâ analysis, but he is picking Florida, so I have demoted him.
lol why bring up the foul if not to excuse the loss or insinuate they were cheated?

If you can even call it a choke! You have to play Houston at a high intensity for all 40 minutes. I chalk it up to elite defense, experience, and coaching.
Not to mention a couple fouls that shouldâve had Jojo shooting some FTs too.

Exactly.
If she were a Duke fan or even a big college basketball fan than I would have entertained her comment a little more.
But she just browsed social media and saw it trending and felt like throwing it in our meeting. Everyone knows Iâm a UH grad and our boss is a Coog.
Iâm too amped up today lol I ainât playing around.

Yeah, I know that feeling
The wild thing is that assuming Duke gets the rebound on a missed free throw, fouling Roberts for a 1-and-1 was probably one of the best things Duke could have done to manage their lead. Heâs a 64% free throw shooter; that means thereâs a 36% chance they get the ball back with the lead, a 23% chance they get it back with the score tied, and a 0% chance of the Coogs draining the rest of the clock on that possession and getting a basket to win. In the absolute worst-case scenario there (which is actually the one that played out) they get a shot to take the lead, and then if thatâs missed, they can foul again and get the ball back with another shot to tie or take the lead.

NONE Remember it was almighty Duke supposed to win.
Pass it on to her itâs pretty CS to bring up one play when the game lasts 40 minutes. Houston BEAT Duke.
The correct response is âI feel GREAT about it.â

Damm, canât help it but Iâm nervous. Guess its the past thatâs haunting me, I remember a North Carolina game where they wernât supposed to even be in the same stadium with the coogs. That was then though, and now with CKS I have a much brighter outlook. Look out Mr. J. Daniels.
