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!

It was a shocking upset only in the sense that it was a frantic comeback. I was watching and told my son that I just hope we have a reason to still watch at the 5 minute mark. Duke had stretched the lead to nearly 20 (not sure exact) like midway through the 2nd. I didn’t want to see a snoozer.

Just going into the game I probably would have given Duke a slight edge but wouldn’t have thought it was an upset either way.

I think the upset term is really more about HOW they won as opposed to THAT they won.

I'm glad we didn't play either of these teams.

Talent, athleticism and relentless motor everywhere.

Houston plays so damn hard man. They don't give anything up without a fight. So refreshing to watch them give everything they got.

Houston reminding me of Baylor a couple years ago in the Championship game.

Just won't be denied.

But then again, Clayton has some magic in him and has yet to score. Houston just seems on a mission.
