You are wildly outnumbered here. And all cooler flag has done is dominate, at age 18, a sport that has a bunch of guys approaching their mid 20.

Wildly outnumbered by who? You? lol. I don’t care what espn says when they say generational. Conor bedard was the next Gretzky/crosby/ovechkin. He looks like a good nhl player two seasons in. Guys get overhyped constantly by sports media. You understand generational means like a top 50 guy ever in the nba right? Maybe even top 25. If you see that kind of skill level, then you don’t watch the nba or are just fighting with me for no reason per usual.

Playing against guys that mostly won’t be playing in the nba doesn’t really do much for me.

You think he is as good as say Anthony Davis? Anthony Davis obliterated the college game. He’s a damn good player in the nba, not close to generational

Agree, he just turned 18 December 21st. He has the complete game, high basketball IQ, passes and defends well and his shot will only get better. Definitely, a generational talent, will be a perennial all- star and likely hall of famer if he stays healthy.

I had Duke losing to Florida in the finals in my bracket, so I was pulling for them to hang on at the end. No such luck.

Yeah me too. Oh well. I’ll take Duke tears over having the final game right. Maybe Flagg should have gone to UConn… probably would have won three in a row. Considering the talent on duke’s team that’s a pretty piss poor coaching job by scheyer. 3-4 nba guys.. probably never going to have that amount of talent on the roster again in his career.

I have Houston over Florida in my bracket. That would be a first for me.

I picked FL to win it all but Duke in the finals. Enough others had Houston in the finals to screw me!

17 year old vs Team USA.

Watch some freshman Anthony Davis highlights and then tell me how amazing cooper Flagg is. And I can’t stand uk.

Flagg is a good player, no denying that. May even be an all star here and there. Generational player? lol.

When they called the foul on Flagg late in the game for over the back I actually thought it benefited Duke. Houston had the ball and appeared to be going into a fast break opportunity, and the guy he fouled was not the best freethrow shooter. But, I guess it worked out.

There have not been many really good games in this tournament. But holy shit that was a great game! This isn’t the first time Houston has overcome being down 3 possessions very late in the game. The comeback at Kansas was even more insane, although I know the stakes weren’t quite the same.

People keep talking about this "shocking upset" over Duke. If you watched Houston at all this year, you knew they were capable of this.

For all of the "prima donna" and "they don't play as hard with NIL" talk these days, you have to respect how these dudes just get after it and never let up. I'm pulling for them on Monday. They aren't always pretty to watch, but I respect the hell out of their motors and never say die attitude. They just get after it!
