Just wonderful, now Flagg is going back to school and we will now get the #1 pick. I feel it in my bones.

Kid is a very nice college player! Wow.
There are a lot of great players who did not win a NCAA championship

Seeing Flagg get absolutely RATTLED in crunch time again was really something. Bad play after bad play after bad play in the final two minutes.
Anyone can miss a shot, but there's no excuse for the matador defense or completely failing to block out in that situation.

I'm guessing you get told you're quite the caring understanding nineties type quite often ???

Probably not, but the narrative that he possibly doesn't have the killer instinct of an NBA #1 option will only get stronger. And rightfully so.
As I've been saying all along, Flagg's ceiling is a great 2nd/3rd banana in the league. A dude who does a little bit of everything, but you don't want him to have the ball with 6 seconds left.
I was too tired to stay up, so once Duke was up by double digits I went to sleep. Looks like Tugler was big down the stretch. I am assuming he goes back to school next year, I'm curious if he stays at Houston or not.
Refs made a terrible call. Made some terrible calls against Florida too

College ball in general doesn't mean much. It's a terrible, outdated brand of basketball full of moronic defensive schemes, dumb players and demented coaches stuck in their ways.
However, even if you ignore the game results and individual stats (as you should), you can make educated guesses about the extent a player's skill set and physical attributes are going to translate in the NBA.
Anyone who gets hung up on NCAA team success or player stats is a terrible evaluator of pro potential. You have to be able to imagine a player in an NBA setting.
That's why, for instance, all these "blue chip" Duke kids will have more underwhelming pro careers than their media glazing would lead you to believe, and a guy like Edgecombe will have a superstar ceiling.
