Surprising: Tre Holloman is in the transfer portal
Unsurprising: Xavier Booker is in the transfer portal. One of Izzo’s most disappointing development jobs. Guy was like the number 4 recruit and spent his whole time with MSU in the doghouse.

Kinda wild that the colleges are making money off the players, but it isn't really the university that pays them, it is everyone else's job to pay the players?

Collins used faint rumors of interest from Indiana and Villanova to get himself extended until 2030. NU also got a tiny point guard from USF in the portal.

Duke possessions after going up 59-45 at 8:17

Mason Gillis turnover
Cooper Flagg misses jumper
Tyrese Proctor misses 3
Cooper Flagg misses jumper
Sion James turnover
Cooper Flagg misses jumper
Tyrese Proctor 2-2 Ft (3:44, up 61-55)
Cooper Flagg makes 3 (3:03, up 64-55)
Tyrese Proctor turnover
Coper Flagg 2-2 ft (1:26, up 66-59)
Kon Knueppel misses layup
Sion James turnover
Tyrese Proctor misses FT
Cooper Flagg misses jumper

That wild 3 try by Proctor was apparently after the buzzer. No play-by-play mentions it.

Duke had ZERO offensive rebounds in the last 8:17.

Right before Flagg made the 3, I noticed he wasn't bringing the ball up the floor. He was pretty gassed by that point. Houston stopped double teaming him as much and whereas Flagg had done a great job prior to driving to the hoop and either a) going up or b) drawing a double team and passing it off, he quit doing that. Out of all of this, Kneuppel seems to be the only one who who went to the rim.

Hell of a job defensively by Houston and Duke got away from the basics. Flagg's not a post player, but somebody needed to be going inside. Uzan picked up his fourth foul at 8:17. Down until the last few seconds, Houston fouled just three times after Uzan's 4th foul. That's ridiculous that the Cougars didn't need to.

Duke is gonna gassed was a Duke hater talking point coming in to the weekend but drat if they didn’t get gassed. Was Duke another Gonzaga situation this year where unusually weak ACC competition just couldn’t give Duke the preparation they need for March?

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

They did almost let an exceptionally mid UNC team come back on them in the ACC tournament after leading them by 21 at the half

Scheyer lacks the clutch gene I guess

Houston being a good defensive team also has a tendency to just wear teams down over the game. ISU did that a lot too where they’d be playing a close game then the last five minutes would take off as the other team just ran out of juice. Hard to go 40 minutes when the other team makes you work all the time if you’re not used to it.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

It could be a bit of this. Also Duke is one of the younger teams in the tournament and doesn't have the muscled out 23 year old point guard that can care for the ball and get it up the court in time to run an offense with the physicality allowed in college ball late game presses. It's also just Houston's whole deal. They won so many games in the last 5 minutes this year.

Florida is kind of a mirror match, should be good.

Interesting stat for the game. Florida is 5-0 against 3 of the teams Houston lost to this season, they didn't play the 4th team.

gently caress Duke and all but I’ve heard that they learned about 3 hours before the game on Saturday that Maluach was going to be deported, so I kinda have to feel for them a little bit there. Really lovely for that kid.

The only tragedy is all the rest of Duke isn't also getting deported.
