San Antonio – The suffocating defense of Houston was suffered a deficit of 14 points in the last eight minutes and erased Cooper Flagg and the title of Duke hopes on Saturday in a dizzying 70-67 on the Blue Devils in the end.
Duke has made a large total of a basket in the last 10 1/2 minutes of this match. The second at the last attempt was a jumper step by step by Flagg that I Wan Roberts disrupted. The last was a despair of despair of Tyrese Proctor who did not catch anything in the buzzer.
It was the two free throws of Roberts with 19.6 seconds to play that gave cougars their first advance since 6-5. LJ Cryer, who led Houston with 26 points, did two others to push the advance to three. It was Houston’s biggest advance at night.
The cougars, who have never won a title, even at the time of Phi Slama Jamma, will play Florida on Monday evening for the championship.
