Roach and Proctor with great second halfs and a shout out to Ryan Young...all heart
Jesus. Feels like yesterday we lost to UNC in the FF and now we play State to go to the Final Four smdh I cant take it.
That’s why it’s a 40 minute game. Everyone has talked about Duke being soft, they didn’t back down tonight.
Left for dead after the ACC tournament and now on to the elite 8, wild
You have to win ugly at times. Credit Houston; they are a hell of a defensive team. Duke is back!
One of my favorite wins as a Duke fan. Couldn’t have started worse, on the road, against a dirty team, and they just ****ing fought.
I am so happy right now. And so proud of our guys. Roach really came on late. And Ryan showed what seniors do.
Sucks their best player got hurt. But survive and advance! I didn’t think we had much of a shot to even make it out of the first weekend so kudos to the team. Obviously we aren’t the favorite to win the whole thing, but anything can happen. Proud of this team no matter what happens from here.
Rese was an animal last 3 minutes. What a win for Jon.
Beat NC State to go to the FF? They are red hot but I'll take it! We ain't the same team they saw 2 weeks ago.
Thought the ACC was weak? 3 elite 8 teams.Lunardi and company can **** off
I think it’s time to give coaching staff a lot of credit. A perfect quick timeout to start the game. jon had the guys ready for a fist fight. How many times did Duke score after a timeout? A lot of credit to coaching staff.
I guess, with the way it was being called, and if their best player didn’t get hurt I wouldn’t get a …
What a grinding game. Even without their leader, their D kept them in the game. Points were hard to come by.
Roach was huge in the second half, and Flip and Proctor were warriors. Very disappointed in Mitchell though, but thank God Young was out there. His stats weren’t good, but his presence on the court was.
Duke was tough as nails for the last 35 minutes of the game.

Only 4 fouls called on Houston in the second half. What an effing joke. Refs should be fired
Refs were for sure horrible! A win is a win
We won; Mitchell didn't play well, but he is an important piece. How crappy must UNC fans feel tonight?
Flip was an absolute warrior tonight and played the EXACT type of game we needed against Houston. Freaking love that kid! Let's gooo
I’m not mad at all, it was completely trending in the wrong direction before the injury. That dude was killing our perimeter players. Like making them shake in their little Nike shoes.
Our boys have given me a little hope tonight and almost a heart attack! SI6HTS ON SIX! LETS GO DUKE!
Shead is a 20pt a game guy and their primary ball handler...no doubt it would have been a different game but i have zero sympathy because the way they play isnt basketball....
Roach is a ****ing warrior! I've finally calmed down enough to breathe.
Just got my heart out of my throat! 😅 What a game. Our pups played with some swagger and got a program win! That being said, I'm proud of all of our guys, our bench guys came in and gave us positive minutes. Blakes even came in and made some hustle plays and put a couple of crucial points on the board. Give Mark some grace, not his best performance, but he didn't hang his head and kept trucking! Let's down the Woofies!
I don't know about #6 but a final four would be incredible. Even a Elite Eight would be special, although to be that close and lose for the third time would be tough. But we've already had a successful season with this win. JM was nice; but this is a WIN.
Sharpe is getting 20 a game in the tournament, he had 7 tonight. You never know.
I’m really glad they stepped up and made it happen! I got so mad it’s hard for me to be happy right now. I’m really happy I get to see them play again this year!
Mad? My friend, with bully ball and bad refs we just took down the Big 12 champs and #1 seed. Arizona, UNC, those teams that beat us are history.
I like the course of things, just got myself too worked up. Sometimes you take dumb things to personal.
