Duke choke job
- Thread starter The_Hall
- Start date
TOTAL DUKE CHOKE -TOTAL - looked like me trying to make a 3 footer to win a Nassau.
Did not make a fg in final 10:31, missed crucial front end...and all-time float lazy inbounds pass and still had iso flagg one on one spin middle for an above average look
Really questionable call. Should have been just a common foul. What a disgrace to have James Breeding on this game, by the way. He's an awful official.
Proctor and James played poorly for Duke. Media will focus on Flagg missing the last shot, but he played great. Proctor cost Duke this game - poor shooting, untimely turnovers, poor defense on Cryer, missed free throw late.
Their biggest choke since the 1989 semi-final
ON THIS DAY: In 2002, Indiana Shocks No. 1 Duke With Great Comeback
Indiana's final 12 minutes against Duke is some of the most memorable in Hoosier history, as Mike Davis' team knocked off the No. 1 team in the country to kick-start a memorable tournament run.
Flagg will get crap for the “foul” (which should have been a play on) and for missing that look, which was a good one. But that’s unfair and that kid is incredible. One of the best freshman I’ve ever seen.
Agree with your take.
Crushing loss for Duke. 11-1 run or whatever it was for Houston to close the game. A great Duke team that is littered with NBA players, probably 3 lottery picks in this upcoming draft, and a bunch of role player transfers who fit perfectly around the NBA talent. Crazy way to end what was a great season for them. I didn’t think that team had any weaknesses except for not getting tested nearly as much as they would have in other leagues during the regular season because of how the ACC was compared to the SEC or Big 12.
In 2004, Duke led UConn 75-68 with 3:28 left in the National Semifinal in San Antonio and lost 79-78.
Tonight, Duke led Houston 64-55 with 3:03 left in the National Semifinal in San Antonio and lost 70-67.

I actually thought it was a foul on Flagg. This was a likable Duke team for a change - Flagg is incredible and that group had a great chemistry. Not really a fan of Houston or Florida, so I'm a bit disappointed tonight. Guess I'll root for Houston, I really don't like the Florida coach.
I’m all in on Houston. I know people don’t like the HC, but I love how they compete and have admired that for years. That team plays so god damn hard, always.
Best part of loss - Coach K was there to witness it! 🤪
It was a likeable Duke team. Their fans--however--are insufferable. I was at the Newark regional and the Duke fans there were --as a group--arrogant and overbearing.
That made it extra special.
It was a 5 point game at half time then a steamroll in the 2nd half...how is that a choke?
in 89 they didnt choke. WE CHOKED THEM.
Flagg is incredible.
The legend of Jon Scheyer took a huge hit.
Houston has absolute dogs on that team.
Sampson is a great coach.

Duke 65% ft shooting freshman misses front end of 1&1 that would have sealed the game,
Houston 65% ft shooting 6th year senior drills both ends of 1&1 to grab the lead.
Men against boys.

I said the same. Why is he not getting the ball on the inbounds and auto.atic from ft line. Kid is stone cold
Why is a great white player always compared to Larry Bird and not a black player? Is it subliminal racism or is there no great white player who plays like a great black player?
cause they have a similar game. and to make anothor comment in that light. flagg is more athletic lol.
i thought of that b/w angle when i made tge post and said f it, its a good comparison.
I think Duke blocked YouTube from showing the full game replay (and not just highlights) Or even the live replay of the last few minutes. Most games you can find it a day later and i found Florida-Auburn full replay and even UConn-SC which ended few hours ago. But no Duke choke replay.
