Houston definitely gets credit for their fight and locking down the last ten minutes, and making plays.
 

With that said, Duke had the ball up 6 with under 50 seconds left. A team should not lose in that scenario unless they make mistakes. Which Duke first then missed a shot (great defense by Houston.) Then Duke still up 6 with just 30 seconds to go, allowed Houston to get a clean look from 3 which should never happen in that scenario. Then turns the ball over on the in bounds, allows an offensive rebound for a score off a missed three by Houston. Then misses the front end of a one and one and not only that gets called for a rebound on the miss allowing Houston free throws to get the lead. So yes Houston definitely gets credit for making plays when they had to, however Dukes mistakes especially in the last minute is still a big reason why they lost. 

How many of those plays are mistakes versus great plays by Houston? All turnovers are not the same. The two plays that you can  say were "mistakes" were Proctor missing the front end of the 1and1 and Flagg's foul on the rebound - and personally I thought that was a super cheap call so I am not blaming him for that.

Also, on the inbounds play on which Proctor was fouled, Kneuppel broke wide open.  Instead of throwing the ball to the 92% free throw shooter, the inbounds went to a 68% free throw shooter.  That's a huge mistake that set up the final result.  Sorry, but you don't fritter away the lead that Duke had without having a significant part in your own demise.  And the Blue Devils played a huge part in it.

You’ve talked all year about certain members “obsession” with the ACC. 
 

I think you’re the type of person who could never admit to being wrong. Nothing more, nothing less. 
 

I’d just like to hear you say one more time, IT. JUST. MEANS. MORE…

What was I wrong about?

And if you think that’s the case, then you know absolutely nothing about me, or my posting history.

2 weeks ago you were thumping your chest about the “yeah, the acc sucks” after UNC beat some no name west coast team…

I can look up the post and quote it tomorrow if you want me to.

What does that have to do with anything…? What point are you trying to make?

It was a simple tongue in cheek, light hearted, funny take after UNC curb-stomped someone after everyone said they shouldn’t have been in.

And I don’t necessarily think you were wrong about anything.

I just can’t set by and let you call out posters obsessing over the ACC while you have an obsession with the SEC.

IT JUST MEANS MORE

How does me posting about an ACC team show an obsession with the SEC? I’m struggling to find your point…

Light hearted and funny ?

that's not the feeling I got from the post. Maybe I was mistaken.

You are free to interpret things however you see fit. I can’t control that.

How many times have we heard that from you ???

Your obsession with the SEC rivals that of any  posters obsession with the ACC.

If that helps you sleep at night, who am I to argue different?

Congrats on your win!
