Houston is the coolest P5 program by a thousand miles and tonight cements that. Their best player is a defensive workhorse with mutton chops. Their coach is a wizard who hates when you mispronounce Gonzaga. They have zero lottery picks

RUSHED REACTION: #1 Houston 70, #1 Duke 67 Down but never out. A win that symbolizes what a program is all about. An 11-1 run over the final 75 seconds sends Houston to the National Championship game.

The Tugler weak side tip-slam to cut it to 1 should go down as an all-time NCAA Tournament moment

“It was probably only 3 [seconds] as slow as he [the referee] was counting” Kelvin Sampson giving a banger of a presser right now. Incredibly insightful with some humor and sentimentality mixed it

Whatever Tracy Wolfson gets paid is not enough. Two decades of interviewing losing coaches in their darkest, most regret-filled moments

Woah. Huge win for Chris Gerlufsen.

But with goaltending

I’d simply foul Handlogten every time he touches the ball

Golden’s reaction certainly made it seem that way. An ultimate Trust The Process move with 2:00 left in a National Championship game

Kelvin Sampson should draw up the 9 points in 33 seconds play

Desperately need to know if this foul on Tugler was intentional

no finger guns but our boy still made it 🥹

To Matt Eisenberg for being one of the most insightful follows on this platform, not only gifting us all the annual NCAA Tournament Guide — his masterwork — but delivering mind-blowing CBB nugget after mind-blowing CBB nugget every night for 5 months

The man can coach

Flynn Clayman deserves the High Point job. High-Level recruiter who did very well as an interim head coach at Southern Utah. Was the associate head coach at HPU. Very comfortable with the school and his situation there right now. Was a key reason for its success.

Emerging from summer dormancy to reiterate that the Big Sky and WCC are pro factories. Over and out.
