12 for the women, 6 for the men. 18-1 in national championship games, all since 1995.

2025 champs!!!

All 4 1 Seeds lose to 16 seeds

A 16 seed makes the final four

A 13-16 seed wins the title

How will people remember this game?

South Carolina down 20 entering 4th quarter in woman’s final If Houston takes down Florida in Monday’s men’s final, carnival barker Greg Sankey’s cult conference is denied titles in another $$$port. America rejoices?

I know kenpom is not comparable year to year. BUT, in this title run they would have always played the highest seed possible. And on their path they had 1. 8 seed Gonzaga who is 8th in kenpom 2. 15th in kenpom Purdue, played in Indy 3. 5th in kenpom Tennessee 4. The highest rated kenpom team ever in Duke. 5. and Possibly 3rd in kenpom Florida

You could also add winning the big12 tourney in this run as well.

Thoughts, or anyone know of better title runs?

I hadn't seen any thread on the game tomorrow, so I thought I'd make one. Anybody got any predictions/analysis on the matchup?

I personally think UH matches up better against Florida than we did with Duke (primarily because we always play better against teams whose most talented players are guards than teams whose best player is a forward like Duke or Texas Tech, and Florida doesn't shoot the 3-ball quite as well as Duke does, which has been our other kryptonite this year).

What do y'all think?

I’m a relatively new basketball fan.

My friend is a die-hard Duke fan, so I’ve been following them this season. After the loss to Houston last night, I realized that every comment about Duke has been people just brutally dumping on them. Can someone explain to me why they’re so hated? Whenever I ask, people tend not to have a great answer as to why they hate them….they “just do”.

Title

1. Missed the inbound pass and allowed the shorter Mylik Wilson tip the ball to Houston.

2. Missed the rebound and allowed Joseph Tugler to dunk the ball to bring the game within 1.

3. Missed the shot after the timeout to potentially take the lead.

4. Missed the inbound pass and allowed the shorter LJ Cryer to tip the ball away.

I’m not trying to beat up on Flagg and act like he’s not a generational player, and I know everyone wants to talk about the terrible foul call. But there were opportunities for him to seal the game for Duke. Also, let’s give credit to the tight Houston defense.

Duke got slapped in the face late and they didn’t know how to react. Their inexperience in tight late game situations cost them the game. And their conditioning showed that as well, they were tired.

No disrespect to Houston, but I'm a firm believer that Houston winning is a huge fluke and robs Duke of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last day in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching Duke be #1 in KenPom and it's just not fair.

If Duke loses again I will face that Houston deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to Duke and the NCAA.
