Houston has 17 offensive rebounds. That is just a staggering number.

No team has been able to press Duke this year.

Looked like Sharp had a handful of Knueppel's jersey as he was coming to the ball.

Houston is mauling Duke players going to the ball. It's like they're intentionally trying to foul already.

That is a late and a tough whistle on Maluach. Just gonna be one of those endings. Everything Houston has at the rim will be a foul

Well that is a colossal mental error. You cannot reach over the line and you definitely cannot touch the inbounder or the ball.

Duke can select who shoots this. So you're sending Knueppel to the line.

Everything Houston puts up at the rim will be a foul. Nothing will be on the Duke end. That's just how it will play out.

That is a bad closeout by Flagg. The only thing you can't do is give up an open look at 3 and you cannot, cannot leave your feet against a jumpshooter on the arc there.

There's 32 seconds. Get the ball into Knueppel and get him to the line. That's the game.

Duke's ballhandlers and getting manhandled getting to the ball. Makes it easy to press when you grab anyone cutting to the ball.

Looked like Knueppel was open to the ball, too. Gotta be more composed there.

18 offensive rebounds...

HOW IS THAT A FOUL? At any point in the game?

Here comes Cooper Flagg's Shining Moment.

Duke has the ball and the best player in the nation. They are trailing by one. This game is not over.

Duke was probably the better team. It was not the more composed team.

So many plays down the stretch. The terrible inbounds. The inability to get an offensive rebound again and again. The wide open layup where no one rotated over in help. The missed front-end of a 1-on-1. The mid-range settle for the game winner...

Well, Duke. It was a special season. But one you gave away. We'll see you next year.

And the final play is "eh, just see what you can do one-on-one with no help." Houston had dropped against Flagg on the drive all night. That was never going to be anything more than a mid-range jumper.
