00:00Yeah, let's hear from the Duke head coach, of course epic meltdown by the Blue Devils here Shire. I mean, it's been a
00:07special ride
00:09That ended in a heartbreaking way and frankly the game
00:14We did what we wanted to do. You know, I thought our guys did it follow the game plan controlled the game
00:19We had the lead for 35 minutes
00:22we're winning by six with a minute 15 to go and
00:25And
00:26They made plays and you got to give them a ton of credit
00:29we didn't make those plays and you go from some of the most special moments in the tournament to
00:36The most heartbreaking loss and I'm not about to feel sorry for one second
00:42These guys have done an incredible job. It's heartbreaking. It's incredibly disappointing
00:48There's a lot of pain that comes with this
00:52It's just the worst. I mean look I
00:55care
00:57That Duke lost
00:59Because I've never liked him. I've never been a Duke fan in my life. I've hated him my whole life. It's real simple
01:05I'm an Indiana fan. It's this very simple clear and cut like steak. Okay, there's no
01:11Mincing I'm not rooting for them ever, but I really do like watching Cooper flag play
01:16so I can't wait to watch him in the NBA and not be on Duke to be honest with you and what is amazing to
01:23me Mike is the numbers of
01:26Duke superstars that have played there since 2015 and 16 and they haven't won a single title
01:32Listen to this list of guys. You sent me this since 15 16 0 titles
01:38In fact, they haven't made a title game. They've made final fours, but not the championship game on Monday night
01:43Brandon Ingram Luke canard Jason Tate and Marvin Bagley Gary Trent jr
01:47Wendell Carter jr. Zion Williamson RJ Barrett cam reddish Vernon carry Paolo Bankaro
01:52Mark Williams Jared McCain Cooper flag and then of course the rest of these guys that they had here this whole
02:00NBA title play to do
02:05That's amazing to me and not only that they haven't been in the final
02:09That is more amazing to me than them losing to Houston. Listen, let's stop with all this nonsense
02:15Houston's a great team. They got 34 wins. They mean business
02:20They have literally how many times did we say last week or the whole three weeks?
02:26They they are the best defensive team in America would do the two of them and I just couldn't believe
02:32I always said to you that Duke will just score more that they score more than everybody
02:37They're gonna figure it out and they didn't
02:40well
02:40And look and I think and and Samson talked about this after the game a huge point that I think got a little overlooked
02:46Was in the past few years
02:48Houston's had great teams. They've had one seeds all this and I haven't gotten it done
02:52they've been a really bad free throw shooting team the last few years and
02:57Samson said they made it a point this year that all these guys were gonna be ready for pressure situations
03:03From the free throw line and they weren't gonna lose a tournament game by missing free throws and when that kid I forget which kid
03:10It was who was 63% that went up there for that one and one towards the end of that game
03:15And he banged both of them down. I mean, that's just that that's where it is right there
03:20Those are the things end of game situation having guys who've been around senior leadership
03:26And and working on it. They did all the right things
03:29In the last few moments of that game, and that's why they're playing tonight and they'll be playing
03:34Florida Gators who beat Auburn
03:3779
03:3873 remember this Mike real quick that you're gonna get the Boozer twins are going there
03:43So they're gonna be right back where they were. They're gonna be playing in the NCAA tournament in Carolina
03:51They're gonna make it through the first weekend
03:53they're gonna be in the regional semis and regional final and then they're gonna either win it and go to the final four again or
04:00They won't but they are gonna be more loaded
04:04next year
04:06Then they just were Duke's gonna be even better. I mean these two kids coming in there
04:12That's like having two Cooper flags the two boozers
04:17It's true they're gonna have a great team again, they're Duke, I mean they have a great team
04:24Literally right now I would say right now today
04:29Automatic final four Duke next year with the Boozer twins
