Just hold the ball in the backcourt you dumb Dukies

 

[BigLame]

Both teams couldn't lose.
This is about best case scenario considering.
Seeing those Duke fans after the shot was glorious.
Just wish the State Farm commercials would go away now.

 

[cyclones500]

I didn't mind Duke passing at least once to milk clock before a foul, but then one too many passes.

 

[cowgirl836]

Picking Uconn was never in doubt

 

[interrobang]

All timer of a choke job

They were trying to show up the one from the Houston game last year.

 

[Inthesystem]

You hate to see it.

But more than that, you love to see it.

 

[Challenger06]

Dumb play by boozer.

Exactly. What an idiot. No reason to even pass the ball.
Proof that if you can play basketball, there are no “entrance requirements” at Duke.

 

[Kinch]

This probably outranks Laettner.

 

[Bigman38]

Does that mean no more flipping Boozer commercials?

Guessing there will be some good edits of that commercial now

 

[BigLame]

All timer of a choke job

Hate to see it

 

[HoopsTournament]

Duke and Florida (both #1 seeds) lost 73-72

 

[GoHawks]

utter meltdown.

I'd rather lose like we did, than THAT

I'd rather lose anyway before I'd want that.

 

[cytor]

Hurley is so cringe. Both Duke and UCONN are extremely hateable.

 

[NYCYFan]

Unbelievable choke, that's two historic chokes but Duke in the last two tournaments when they were clearly the better team. Wild

 

[cytor]

The real natty game is Arizona vs Michigan

 

[HoopsTournament]

Go Arizona and Illinois

 

[bradcyclone]

No ACC and no SEC team Final 4, will ESPN even show up to cover the Final 4?

 

[isufbcurt]

Don't ever let anyone tell you good things don't happen to pieces of **** - Hurley is Exhibit 1

 

[ClonerJams]

That was one of the best March madness games of all time. What a finish

That’s true at all high-major schools.

Edit: Though I know nothing about Boozer and don’t mean to insinuate he isn’t a terrific scholar. His uncle was clearly gifted enough to pick ISU.
