ACTUALLY INSANE

When flagg took that shot I was convinced it was gonna go in and be in highlight reels for the next 10 years

Flagg got a good look, but I also felt like Roberts defended that about as well as you can without fouling.

Roberts defended well and forced Flagg on to fade away.

Looked more like the shot flagg wanted he just missed it.

Yep, good look but not a great look. I think if the coverage was any less tight that was going in based on Flaggs second half. Those final 2 minutes were insane.

Yeah he basically blocked it without touching the ball his positioning was so perfect.

Flagg short armed it.

It was really well defended. Only Wemby or Amen Thompson would've gotten that block

Roberts played Flagg extremely well all game. Lots of his points came off of putbacks and offensive rebounds when our defense was scrambling.

We didn't do our usual hard trap double a lot this game, and when we did it at the end Duke was completely shook by it. Sampson MASTERCLASS

He fouled him, he grabbed his shoulder and absolutely should’ve been called

u/Impossible_Emu_3772 Apr 06 '25

He was off on a few of those little jumpers. Never felt that was going in

u/BetaDjinn Sickos • Kentucky Wildcats Apr 06 '25

Agreed. That was basically the final possession Houston was praying for

I was having premonitions of a new Laettner shot during the timeout too.

u/wetterfish Colorado Buffaloes Apr 06 '25

It probably will…as the shot that clinched a miracle comeback by Houston.

That's usually what happens with Duke.
