Damn, how about Houston never letting the lead by Duke get to them! Hell of a steal on the inbound to get it to 1 and then finish it off.

Duke got absolutely swallowed up by Houston's swarming defense and press. Flagg is probably going to relive that missed shot forever in his mind.

Hah, thought it was over with 2 minutes remaining. Great comeback by Houston.

On the women's side, UConn really hit their stride in the tournament and just absolutely crushed two of the best teams all year long, beating #1 seed/#1 ranked UCLA 85-51 in the semifinal and then beating #1/#2 South Carolina 82-59 in the final. Geno Auriemma really is the GOAT.

The women's Final Four was rather lackluster as all three games were decided by 20+. Give me 3 close games like what we'll get from the men this year.

4 fouls called in the 1st half. Interesting side note about letting the players play since that was quite the entertaining opening half.

Wow, can't believe Houston failed to even get a shot off.

Final minute offensive execution is the most glaring difference between the NBA and college, even though there are many.

Houston fans are never going to forget the non-shot at the end just like they do the 1983 NC State dunk at the buzzer.
