Duke shockingly crashed out of the men's NCAA tournament after blowing a late lead in their 70-67 national semifinal loss to Houston Saturday night.
The Blue Devils led by 14 points with eight minutes left on the clock but slowly saw their big lead get chipped away by a tenacious Cougars side that wasn't going to go down easy. Duke star Cooper Flagg, who finished with a team-high 27 points on 8-of-19 shooting, was involved in two pivotal plays at the end of the game, though the loss hardly was on him.
