I honestly thought the call was going to benefit duke since he was an average FT shooter. But he sacked up and and made them both!

Calm down there, tiger. Guessed you missed the first half of my post, but I won't exactly be crying myself to sleep tonight. Thanks for your concern, though.
Jesus saves
The city of Houston is brimming with excitement tonight at the chance at another title.maroon man said:
Unreal. Duke had this under control.
Epic fail & epic comeback!
There is no way the state of Texas is going another 55 years between championships. Texas vs Florida for the championship.
Both Final Four games were very entertaining. After Duke led Houston 59-45 with 8:17 left, Houston ended the game on a 25-8 run, including 9-0 in the last 47 seconds to advance to the championship game for the 3rd time and 1st time since 1984. Also, Houston its national-leading win streak to 18 games and snapped Duke's 15-game winning streak.
Just so friggin' tough. Tip your cap to the Cougs. My wife has a student floor ticket for Monday night!

Kenny Smith dubbing the Cougs the next iteration of "Clutch City" was pretty badass.

Let me guess…you would have used Jimmy Chitwood as a decoy and had Buddy take the last shot.

Indeed. Throw in an appearance by The Dream, and you got yourself some march madness magic.
I seriously thought the Nipple would get the nod.
I resolve in 2026 to be more tolerant and respectful of trolls and emotionally fragile, overly pessimistic posters so they don’t run crying to the mods and have me banned for three days.
That Cougar High moneyline never in doubt. Holy cow.
Man, came close to turning it off
I wanna see our defense pissed off, not confused, maybe a little murder in their hearts

I don't know why really but I absolutely love this for Houston.
Who knows in a one-game championship, but I don't think UF plays good enough defense to defeat Houston. I know they've got shooters, but I think UH will just run them into the ground defensively.

Good bot.
I mean, they're the platonic ideal of Buzz ball, how could we not feel some comradery -- even when they broke our hearts last year.
And this was the turning point of the game. They need to fix these rules. At the very least be consistent and call this a flagrant also.Texas A&M said:

I don't see how Houston loses on Monday, but go Gators!
One basket the final 10 minutes. It was that Flagg 3 at the 3 minute mark.

Kelvin Sampson is a hell of a coach, and I say this as a lifelong Duke fan. God dang.
It's really hard not to like Sampson. 70 year old man with fire in his belly. Damn.

Prevent offense (semi-stall) over the last 10 minutes prevents victory!94chem said:

I think the Gators take this easily Monday. Their bigs beasted in the 2nd half.

Many casual people in Houston root for the Cougars as the hometown team. The same is similar for other Universities that represent a large city such as Memphis, Pittsburgh, and Miami.
A large portion of this teams fanbase is people that live in the city, and take on a liking for the local team.
Houston has a chance to end a 40 year nightmare on Monday.
I feel like I felt when A&M nearly booted them from the tourney last year in OT. I hate Houston, but so much respect for Sampson. I ****ing hate losing.
On the prior possession, Proctor needed to pass to Flagg to take the FTs.Scotts Tot said:Tergdor said:I mean, I'd try some movement instead of forcing him into a contested shotAlwaysNextYear89 said:You giving it to someone BESIDES the Player of the Year?Tergdor said:

Good thing about AI bots is that they don't confront you. They are programmed differently.

On paper, Florida was the only team with enough size to beat Duke. But the game isn't played on paper...
If UF sleeps through 20 minutes as usual, they will be strangled before they wake up.
And those 3 iso guards are a load. That's a tourney recipe that's been played over and over - Villanova, Illinois, etc.

My wife went there so I always kinda root for the coogs. She is a loyal Aggie fan too, but I love seeing how fired up she is. She's literally scrolling through all the sports feeds now and super giddy.
Florida's size is far more mobile that Duke. Flagg and Kon are guards assuming SF and PF.94chem said:DukeMu said:Prevent offense (semi-stall) over the last 10 minutes prevents victory!94chem said:

Gators have the inside-outside game with the hottest shooting guard - Walter Clayton. Still, 25 year olds + Sampson vs. a young coach.

100% agree. UH is a step above a JC and their fans are slightly below. In my 30 years after graduating from TAMU the only UH grads I have ever met have been teachers or coaches.
The Coogs are just a commuter college that need support from the city. Good luck to them against a University on Monday.
Worked for Nova. Illinois lost the NC to that 2005 UNC team with McCants, Sean May, Jawad Williams, Marvin Williams. Roy Williams inside, outside game coupled with offensive rebounding neutralized Illinois for most of the game. I remember ILL made a big comeback in the second half, but it was not enough.94chem said:DukeMu said:Prevent offense (semi-stall) over the last 10 minutes prevents victory!94chem said:

Tonight Duke's 7 ft 2 center had 0 rebounds. 18 offensive rebounds for the Cougs to10 despite being a shorter team.
The Cougs just wanted it more down the stretch.

Says the guy from fake Dallas (Frisco)
I've been a lecturer at UH for the past 15 years, and the school has definitely grown on me. I'm happy to see the team represent the school and city so well.
as bad as that collapse was its actually the 3rd near double digit lead of the tourney burned in the final 3 minutes, the others for/against Tech

Weird to rag on UH as being less than A&M when they have more successful businessmen, actors, singers, politicians, baseball players, track athletes, basketball players, lawyers, golfers... I guess A&M wins at football players.
May not meet your standards, but they sure do produce a long list of superstars.

Don't know of any JCs with bball facilities or a billionaire backer like UH. They're much nicer than ours, for instance.
