An ending like that is how I envision ISU losing if they ever got to the title game.
As astounding as an alley-oop would've been on that break, you've gotta choose a routine layup. Didn't hold ground for the rebound on the FT. Inches.
Hey Duke gets every call in the last minute to win by 1!
I totally never saw that coming... oh wait.... Yeah I did

Yep missed free throw, subsequent push off, not called of course.
On his drive to the basket he pushed his defender to the floor with his forearm.
Notice how they shoved UCF out of the way for the rebound? You knew the refs wouldn't call anything. Zion is always protected too....
Agree on the fast break, but on the FT just as Dawkins jumped he got shoved in the back by 5.... He flew across the lane and ended up on the baseline on the other side of the backboard.
The block charge, the 5th on Tako, the bump on 1 on the final shot.... Duke is the ultimate #coddled
I'd say On Liberty!!! on general utilitarian principles. But I prefer the Commonwealth to the Okies.
watch the replay, the kid got pushed in the back, that is why he ended up under the hoop
Thing is if they don't call Zion for the charge on that last shot not sure the foul on Tako wasn't a play on as well.
So down the stretch, could have been a charge on Zion for his 5th foul... could have been a no call on Takko and UCF's ball up 1 and Ball still in the game.... should have been a foul on 5 for the push in the back on the FT rebound... could have been a foul on 1's drive and shot to win it....
None of those worked out for UCF,

I felt like I was watching the end of a close Iowa State loss, when no individual sequence spells doom, but a collection of oddities pile up in the final couple of possessions.
It happens for Duke every year.
Don't even think that I don't think back to the last 4 minutes of the Elite Eight game in Houston in 2010, every time I watch Duke get the benefit of a Block/Charge call.
up 2 Qunicy Acy drives and scores Zubek the Devils 7'0" Center with 4 fouls slides in late... Bucket goes in... Bears are about to be up 5 late and Duke is without their 7 footer for a spot in the Final Four....
but...no...
What other team in Duke's tournament path has a player that can legitimately disrupt Zion in the way Fall could, purely from a size standpoint?
I have friends and family that are Iowa fans so I take no joy when Iowa loses (except to ISU). They love their team like I love mine so I console them and never rub it in but I'm not into smack or trash talking either.
