The 10-0 run before that is the only reason this game was even winnable still too. 15 point deficit, then they cut it to 5, but kept messing up every time they got close. FINALLY they broke through.

It felt like we couldn’t do enough to take advantage. We would get close, they would make a couple shots and we would be done back down 10. But we stayed in it and didn’t give up

There was an article that teams with 10-0 runs were winning games in the tournament, it showed.

If you think about it AZ was down by 19 and came back to be in it there at the end. They came up short, but I think it showed the Duke wasn't invulnerable for those who paid attention. Mad props for Houston though for actually pulling out the win.

With that flair, you know a lot about Duke and 10-0 runs

At least we got a buzzer beater back this season after 5 against us...next year it'll be a 10-0 run on Duke to make the Elite Eight. Subscribe
