How can anybody feel for Allen? Wtf? Having to watch that thing roll around the rim six times then fall off is poetic justice at its finest.
No u don't, had Duke won, u would have been whining as usual.
My heart is racing like a gotdamn lab rat!
I wouldn't worry too much. Someone else will step up as the villain for Duke, they always do. LaughingVery bitter right now. Disappointed that Allen couldn't be the senior leader Duke needed him to be. But at the end of the day, Kansas was the better team and earned this victory.
I will wait patiently for next year where I will have the same frustrations, just without Allen in the hole to rustle a bunch of grown men.

Loyola/Nova is what I want!Yep. But I tell you what---------A Kansas/Michigan final would be a ton of fun.
TBH Kevin, I'm not sure there would be a "bad" title game. Loyola can play.Loyola/Nova is what I want!
Villanova, your 2018 National champions.
Boo!Loyola/Nova is what I want!
Northwest?!Boo!
I’m hoping for Michigan. Kansas wouldn’t stand a chance against some mid-major from the northwest.

Officials make mistakes. Good teams overcome and still win. Anyone blaming duke losing on one call should be ashamed. Kansas overcame a terrible whistle all game.
Strange we haven't a Wardhawk sighting.
Someone call his mom, she might need to check the couch downstairs..
Boo!

Not blaming the loss on that, Duke should have won in regulation. Allen couldn't hit shit, K should have called a timeout to setup a play at the end of the game but instead called on Allen (who hadn't hit a thing all night), Carter shouldn't have missed a wide open point blank layup... The list goes on. With all that being said, the block on Carter was a horrible call that absolutely impacted overtime. I'm not going to call the ref and threaten his life or anything like UK fans do but it was absolutely a game changer. Anyone without a bias would agree. Again, congrats Kansas.This board tells me only UK fans complain about officiating. You are out of your element.

The biggest mistake that Duke and Coach K did was to switch to the 1-3-1 zone to try to take away the free throw jumper that KU was getting. KU saw the switch and knew right away that the opening to the zone was the corner 3. It only took 4 minutes but KU outscored Duke 13-3 on 3-4 shooting from 3 and turned the 3 point deficit into a 7 point lead. Give Duke and K credit that they saw this, called the timeout and switched out of that zone but that helped get Malik rolling (he had struggled in the first half). Good game though and was glad we came out on top.
ROCK CHALK to San Antonio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We've had upperclassmen let us down too. JayWill missed a free throw in 2002 vs Indiana and a senior JJ Redick and Shelden Williams lost to LSU in 2006.It's all good my friend! I understand why K never called a timeout there, he didn't want to let KU set up their defense. Even though Grayson got a good look and it was halfway down, I thought Duke would ISO Marvin at the high post. Wendell didn't miss that layup as the KU defender made a great play and got a piece of it. The play that keeps going through my head was in regulation with 25 secs left and Trevon gambled on a steal attempt on Graham and failed, leaving a wide open three for the tie. He has to know the situation and be more disciplined. That is what we get with freshmen. He played very well, though. Carter put himself in that position with 4 fouls, if he would have come to play in the first half, he wouldn't have been in foul trouble. That is all water under the bridge now. It is very hard to win the tournament by reloading with Freshmen every year, but that is the route we have taken. I love your passion as a Duke fan. Disappointed, I am, but that is how is goes, I guess.
Alex O'Connell brah...he's a Duke Legacy so there's no way he's transferring due to playing time. He knows what he signed up for.Congratulations, Jayhawks.
Gotta say, this loss stings because part of me feels like I’ll never see a 4-year player like Grayson Allen again at Duke. Just more OaD’s and maybe an occasional 3-year star.
Link to the replay, I was pretty hammered yesterday. TIAStill can’t believe we out rebounded Duke yesterday. We haven’t out rebounded anyone this year, and Duke’s size was something I thought we’d struggle with.
Awesome game yesterday. Going to rewatch it again tonight at work. Sober, and getting paid, with no stress. Should be nice.
I’m on it. Currently looking for a link. I’ll find one, just give me a little bit. I got you.Link to the replay, I was pretty hammered yesterday. TIA
Boo!

Ehhhh... I guess so. They did bring it.This.
Kansas wants Michigan and Michigan ONLY! The amount of butt puckering inside Jayhawk nation playing against Loyola would be at an all-time high. The bigger the name on the jersey, the better Kansas appears to play.
