So glad they got beat. Every year they have this "great" team with this outstanding player (think Zion) and this is the typical outcome for them. The sports media, announcers and pundits are all over their nuts all year long. The worst part is the officiating bias they have. I would say 80-90% of 50/50 calls go in Dukes favor. Just look at that kicked ball towards the end of the game last night I think it was Proctor who kicked it out of bounds clearly when the Houston player was driving in. I don't want to hear from anyone about well they were young or this or that. Remember second place is just the first loser.
Both final 4 games were some of the best ever in my opinion.
The way Houston finished was insane. I can't win the Tndeer bracket but in my gambling bracket it comes down to me and one other guy to win $500
He has Houston
I have Florida

You are gonna win
Didn't see Auburn / Florida and only the ending of Houston / Duke. What an ending!

Watched both games. Awesome games with four of the best in the business. FL and Houston are fast, clutch, scrappy and unrelenting. They refuse to quit, regardless of the score, or the time remaining. They both "earned it".
No doubt the four best teams played last night. Had to pull for Duke since my daughter goes there, but Kelvin Sampson is a class act.
I only saw highlights of the Duke ending… and I don't even like Duke..
… but the foul they called on the Duke player during the free throw with 20 seconds left was a terrible call. That's where Houston took the lead.

Duke got the benefit of calls all night long.
I watched the first half of the Duke game and the second half of the Florida game. Great games.
I have no love for or against Florida or Auburn, and I'm one that gives the refs a lot of latitude for making mistakes, but I have never seen so many bad calls that went one way like they did in Auburns favor yesterday.
Florida looks really good.

Florida looks really good.
Much like yourself, I give refs a lot of grace but I agree with that statement whole heartedly
Two really good, physical basketball games.
I was not impressed with Flag, Knipple or whatever his name was struck me as more impressive in the tournament…I did not watch Duke all year until the tournament.
All they had to do was inbound the ball and they would have won. Fundamental.

Florida beat them by 20 and the refs made it close. Worst officiated ncaa basketball game I've ever seen… and I am NOT a Florida fan
