    Yeah, because the guy on the right wrapped his arm around him while screening him out. The bottom line is, how often is that called? Was it even called once for this whole tournament....until then? It should have been a "play on" and there was absolutely no excuse for the refs to insert themselves into the game's outcome at that point.

    Duke player Khaman Maluach, who is from South Sudan, faces deportation as Trump and little Marco revoked all visas of South Sudan passport holders.

    Feel safer?

    Agree 100%. If any foul was called it should have been the hold on the screen before the ball was passed in. Which probably should have been called as intentional, two free throws to Duke and the possession of the ball.

    But if the ref thought it was accidental they could call it a common foul. In which case it would have been two free throws for Duke, and possession to Houston.

    Was in the 99% on ESPN, had 14 of the 16 correct, the entire Elite 8 and Final 4, only missed on Duke/Houston or would have won my bracket and $500, instead I finished 4th and just out of the money.

    That’s what I was wondering. With four #1 seeds there had to be quite a few close.

    That finish was crazy. Great defensive play by Clayton!
