Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 5397948, member: 127"] I’m not ripping on Flagg at all, sorry I gave that impression. I was wrong and thought I heard he had 22 in the first half instead of 8. I do think he was tired. He played over 30 minutes this year 13 times in 32 games through the ACC tournament. In the NCAA tournament he played 22, 29 minutes then 37,36 and 36 the last 3 games. He did this well despite only taking 9 fga against Houston but Duke needed to rely on him and Kneuppel much more because the center position had just 10 points and 3 rebounds, the 2 guards adding only 14 points with just 2 assists. Other than MaliQ they really got nothing from their bench too. Houston’s much older, more experienced team wore them down, and were more physical and quicker. J’wan Roberts a 6’8” forward grad student, had 12 rebounds. Houston out rebounded Duke by 11 despite Houston starters not having a player over 6’8”. Houston didn’t get much from their bench either.
