Wow great game! Great coaches and awesome kids on both sides. I have to say watching KU, Bill seems like the best coach in college basketball. Lot's of talent on KU but a team that is not the prototypical team. Great coaching job! Just how fast Silvio has advanced is a testament to Bill and his staff.
Coach K blaming the refs because Carter got into foul trouble and ultimately fouled out... How about Azubuike fouling out? Carter played 22 minutes and we only got 19 minutes from our mammoth. We would have gladly let them have Carter back in the game if that meant we could have Azubuike back. It goes both ways. The way the refs called the game was disruptive toward Azubuike's ability to play his game too.
Nathan H Then why did he even bring up the refs when he wasn't even asked about them or the fouls calls? The guy asked him what kind of challenges resulted from Carter being in foul trouble in the second half. Coach K's response: "This is a kid that averages a double-double but wasn't able to play his game. I'm not blaming the refs or anything but... it's disruptive." It seemed to me that this was Coach K's way of taking a little jab at the refs for calling the game in a manner that was "disruptive" toward their ability to play their game, without openly calling them out. I hear coaches do it all the time. Whether I'm right or wrong about that, who cares at this point. We won. Sorry for rambling. Rock chalk!
Chris Booth also all calls on Azubukie we're at least fair. Last call on Carter was the worst call at the most pivotal moment and it really costed Duke the game
Did anyone else see Bagley cross the line when he was inbounding the ball after a made KU basket late? I always watch that and it never happens, but Bagley did without question.
Kansas Boys in blue no one deserves it more than you! You play with heart! Sports analysts, Never underestimate the heart of a true champion. Rock Chalk to the Championship!
great game BUT i hate to say this, Coach K was out coached by Self! And Coach K Should of used a Timeout there at the end of regulation. you have 4 FRESHMEN on the floor with 1 senior. you HAVE to set up a play there, even if its Grayson one on one, you should of set up a play to crash the boards. game didn't come down to that, BUT IT COULD HAVE
717dreamchaser thats true, i just think with such a young team, you use a timeout. I like letting players play too but in that spot, they should slowed down the game...Even if the play was all Grayson
yes Coach K must be forgotten that he only had one senior on the floor and 4 other freshman who haven’t been in that situation before , they had two timeouts that’s why they are in the game , the game and season is over , can’t get that opportunity back
Bill Self is now (14-2) vs ACC since taking over at Kansas in 2003. *7-1 vs Duke/UNC alone. 4 of those 7 wins in NCAA Tournament. 3-0 vs UNC, 4-1 vs Duke. ALL Self's wins over UNC were in the NCAA Tournament by double digs. Self knows how to BEAT NBA ready talented college basketball teams. That 2012 UNC team? Lol, had 6 NBA DRAFT picks IN 1stRd.
If Allen would have hit the shot at the end of regulation, 10 years from now, ESPN’s 30 for 30 would have make the second installment of ‘I Hate Christian Laettner’ called ‘I Hate Grayson Allen’. Instead, he will now follow up Tonya Hardings documentary called ‘I, Grayson’. Really they would both tell the same story about someone who lacked integrity in how they competed but now there won’t be a championship banner at the end.
If anyone is really looking for the reason why Kansas won, try looking back at the last three matchups against Duke and Kansas' last 5 or 6 matchups against both Duke and UNC. Kansas simply out-toughs them. That is all there is to say. Bill Self fields tougher teams. Duke decrying officiating is flat out absurd!
Bryan Mathews - must be why Roy has more titles than Self since Roy's been at UNC and Self's been at KU. Have fun with the FBI investigation. Josh Jackson for 10k? Yes please!!
How many of those titles did Roy take from Self? How many of those titles should UNC even be allowed to keep? And speaking of money, how much did UNC slide under the table to keep those titles after THE WORST ACADEMIC FRAUD SCANDAL EVER? Try harder next time idiot.
Poor guard play...Duke had this game in hand but their defense was just atrocious but they weren't also given the best chance at winning either. If you can't or are unwilling to adjust the defense to plug the middle up combined with guards not utilizing Marvin Bagley underneath. The ball swing around the perimeter was slow so they couldn't get the angle on the entry pass into him. Lot of standing around the perimeter and it wasn't a mystery why Bagley's numbers were not reflective of his scoring average. Grayson only drove the ball to the rim a couple times which was a reactive measure and not instinctual or reflective of what he did 4 years ago against Wisconsin. I think a 1-3-1 would've worked well but this is just what I saw watching from my living room!
Sorry but couldn't have happened to a better person than Allen. After seeing some of those tantrums, have not been able to stand the guy since. Rock Chalk!!!
time out time out time out...why didn't coach k call time out with 15 seconds left and draw up that winning play and give your players a rest and make sure everyone new what was to happen... a pick and roll or spread the court or feed to carter in side
"This is why you COME TO Kansas, to play in games like this."...Malik Newman. *You hear that Romeo Langford? Come to KU nxt season, cuz Kansas is going RIGHT BACK to Final Four w/ or w/out YOU nxt season! ....Or go to Vandy/IU and play in NIT, or nothing!
great game for both teams and coaches but not good enough for the Duke team this year, almost doesn’t count in life and in sports, almost doesn’t win games and championships, four freshman who wasn’t ready for the spotlight like that before, come back Marvin Bagley next season, the Nba can wait it’s not going anywhere lol
George Lewis i think he is growing as a young man and is more athletic then ppl give him credit for at 6”5 he can make plays even off the dribble hes had sum crazy dunks
Says duke fans every year hahaha. Yall have been ranked number 1 going into the season the last 3 years with the "best recruiting class ever" and have zero to show for it
Jess Spicer Duke is losing probably 5 guys next year, maybe all 6 to the NBA draft. i wouldnt be surprised to see 5 1st round picks! which is insane for a team not winning it all. next year UK is LOADED, but DUKE will be back (But not winking it all!)
The greatest game of the tournament. Two hall of fame coaches. It's a shame somebody had to lose. Go jayhawks.
Great game. Played very carefully by both teams. Every shot was a pressure shot for both duke and Kansas.
Coach K is such a class act. Epic Game!!!
Wow great game! Great coaches and awesome kids on both sides. I have to say watching KU, Bill seems like the best coach in college basketball.

19:10 for kansas
Win or lose it’s KU baby!! Those Kansas boys are 🔥

I can't stand Coach K but I don't think he was really blaming the refs. Rock Chalk!!

Since when did coach K blame the refs???
Chris Booth also all calls on Azubukie we're at least fair. Last call on Carter was the worst call at the most pivotal moment and it really costed Duke the game
Did anyone else see Bagley cross the line when he was inbounding the ball after a made KU basket late? I always watch that and it never happens, but Bagley did without question.
Svi and Graham, Vick deserve this. 3rd straight Elite8
Kansas is a combined 10-1 last 11 games vs Duke/UNC/UK combined.
Kansas Boys in blue no one deserves it more than you! You play with heart! Sports analysts, Never underestimate the heart of a true champion. Rock Chalk to the Championship!
Self has now won 4 of last 5 vs Duke
Grayson Manziel
great game BUT i hate to say this, Coach K was out coached by Self! And Coach K Should of used a Timeout there at the end of regulation. you have 4 FRESHMEN on the floor with 1 senior. you HAVE to set up a play there, even if its Grayson one on one, you should of set up a play to crash the boards. game didn't come down to that, BUT IT COULD HAVE
JoshCT kisluk should have but why you let basketball players make plays that which Grayson Allen did. Almost went in
717dreamchaser thats true, i just think with such a young team, you use a timeout. I like letting players play too but in that spot, they should slowed down the game...Even if the play was all Grayson
JoshCT kisluk should of but at worst you play and go to OT
yes Coach K must be forgotten that he only had one senior on the floor and 4 other freshman who haven’t been in that situation before , they had two timeouts that’s why they are in the game , the game and season is over , can’t get that opportunity back
JoshCT kisluk Are you trying to say Coach Self is a bad coach?
Kansas players sound like they have a high basketball IQ
Bill Self is now (14-2) vs ACC since taking over at Kansas in 2003.
*7-1 vs Duke/UNC alone. 4 of those 7 wins in NCAA Tournament. 3-0 vs UNC, 4-1 vs Duke. ALL Self's wins over UNC were in the NCAA Tournament by double digs.
Self knows how to BEAT NBA ready talented college basketball teams. That 2012 UNC team? Lol, had 6 NBA DRAFT picks IN 1stRd.
Grayson didn't trip enough.
*BTW. Okla St went 2-1 vs Kansas this year. Including a win AT Kansas! Cowboys should've been in over Sooners.
That's funny how duke fans are complaining about calls not going their way. OH the irony or is it karma, either way it's laughable!
Rok Chalk Jayhawks Best game ever
Malik newman going top 10
If Allen would have hit the shot at the end of regulation, 10 years from now, ESPN’s 30 for 30 would have make the second installment of ‘I Hate Christian Laettner’ called ‘I Hate Grayson Allen’.

If Bagley stays 1 more year next years lineup will be Tre Jones , RJ Barret, Cam Reddish, Zion Williamson , Marvin Bagley
Next year KU's lineup will be Dotson/ Moore, Vick/ Grimes/ Garret, Lawson brothers/ Probably Langford, Sousa/ Lightfoot, Dok/ David MC

KU needs to just go ahead and grab #4 now. Get Self more respect he deserves. A 2nd Natty would def help
duke got killed on the boards and they cant shoot as well as kansas
time out time out time out...why didn't coach k call time out with 15 seconds left and draw up that winning play and give your players a rest and make sure everyone new what was to happen... a pick and roll or spread the court or feed to carter in side
Coach K hairline
Victor Walston lol
Vegeta😂😂😂😭😂😂
Go BLUE!
I never was a duke fan, come sit down next to us {Kentucky} we can watch the championship together
"This is why you COME TO Kansas, to play in games like this."...Malik Newman.
*You hear that Romeo Langford? Come to KU nxt season, cuz Kansas is going RIGHT BACK to Final Four w/ or w/out YOU nxt season! ....Or go to Vandy/IU and play in NIT, or nothing!
great game for both teams and coaches but not good enough for the Duke team this year, almost doesn’t count in life and in sports, almost doesn’t win games and championships, four freshman who wasn’t ready for the spotlight like that before, come back Marvin Bagley next season, the Nba can wait it’s not going anywhere lol
GRAYSON ALLEN UNDRAFTED , NEXT SEASON IN LITHUANIA LEAGUE
George Lewis gotta love that one!
Coming from someone who probably can’t touch net
George Lewis i think he is growing as a young man and is more athletic then ppl give him credit for at 6”5 he can make plays even off the dribble hes had sum crazy dunks
Dream Chaser pretty athletic to do things like that. Lol so thanks you still can’t touch net or rim or probably women lol
DuckFuke
I don't like Duke I don't like Kansas great game. Duke had calls go their way. However that was a charge missed call on Carter.
DUKE will win it all next season #dukenation
Says duke fans every year hahaha. Yall have been ranked number 1 going into the season the last 3 years with the "best recruiting class ever" and have zero to show for it
Jess Spicer Duke is losing probably 5 guys next year, maybe all 6 to the NBA draft. i wouldnt be surprised to see 5 1st round picks! which is insane for a team not winning it all. next year UK is LOADED, but DUKE will be back (But not winking it all!)
Good attitude rather than crying like most duke fans.
Cameron Jones The Veterans beat out The Young Talented players. And in this Final 4, it is 4 teams who have a lot of upper classmen
Officiating won this game for Kansas!
Calls went both ways.
Yeah, that erroneous goal tend call and the blatant missed call on Svi's foot out of bounds definitely benefited KU.
Wesa what game were you watching? Bagley got away with so many fouls he should have fouled out twice.
Wesa Zazoo You mean Officiating almost cost Kansas the game.
Not Really? Two great teams!
