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
