Final Four 2025: Duke’s all-time Meltdown vs. Houston contains a questionable call at Cooper Flagg

There is absolutely no defense of a team that has only achieved one field gate in the last 10 minutes of one four game, but Duke has at least one excuse for Saturday against Houston.

The game hung on a game with 20 seconds in the game. At that time, Houston had an once 14-point deficit on one, but Duke had the ball and ended with the Junior Tyrese Proctor on the line. Two made free throws and the Cougars would need a 3 pointer to force overtime.

Proctor missed the front end of the one-and-one and then it got worse. At the rebound, the Blue Devils Superstar Cooper Flagg was challenged for a foul and immediately sent J’wan Roberts into the line because Houston was in the bonus. Roberts did both to give his team the lead for the first time since the 14: 42 mark of the first half.
