NEWS: Houston’s Isiah Harwell intends to enter the transfer portal, his agents Anthony Fields and Rich Paul of @KlutchSports tell DraftExpress.

The former 5-star recruit played a 14-minute role off the bench for the 30-win Cougars as a freshman this season.

Brick one falls. Flemings and Cenac, the other 5 stars, to the NBA draft are next. Get ready, Kelvin. You veered away from your traditional recruiting model and now you're about to find out how other schools have been forced to adjust rosters.

"Well-proportioned" makes him sound like a house. "You'll love the layout on this new build, Isiah Harwell-style home!"

I'm surprised, Mitch finally called it. Took forever, this is the first real transfer loss they've had since the transfer to Texas. The kid last year to NC State wasn't developing.

Sampson held the line longer than anyone else. Someone needs to throw big $ at Tugler now. He can't get anything more out of the program..needs offensive development they can't give him.

As it turns out, all it took for Arizona to get back to the Final Four was leaving the Pac-12. No more playing the Washington State’s and Oregon State’s of the college basketball world.

Playing in the Big 12 elevated the program to where it needed to be.

UConn is the only FBS public school in @Sportico's database that spends more money on basketball than football

Biggest duke tourney collapse ever? Wow

This one was bad, no doubt.

But last year's Final 4 game took the cake.

Yesterday's outcome ultimately came down to one bad play by a single player.

Despite the loss, it was only in the Elite 8, meaning Duke still had 2 more hurdles to overcome. And with the way they were playing, I doubt they would have cleared both.

Last year was a choke for the ages, however. And the whole team got in on the act.

Houston had ZERO business winning that game. They were down 6 with less than a minute to go, Duke had the ball, and the game was basically over.

About 7-8 things needed to go Houston's way in that final minute for them to pull off that miracle.

Duke Miss at Rim
Sharpe 3 After Stumbling to the Ground
Duke Turnover on Inbounds
Houston Putback Dunk
Duke Misses 1 and 1
Flagg Over the Back Foul on Roberts
Roberts Making Both Free Throws of 1 and 1 (He was Like 60% or so from the Stripe)
Flagg Mid-Range Jumper Miss

If any of those things go the other way, Houston loses.

Plus, Duke would have been huge favorites to beat Florida and win the whole thing.

So for as bad as yesterday was, last year's game was probably as painful as it gets.

This most recent choke by duke was literally Kevin Steele Baylor (and now arandaesque)
