This was the the best game from tip to buzzer I’ve seen in a long long time. That first half might be the best half I’ve ever seen in college basketball. Just gorgeous basketball!
As good as holmgren is I'd want him to stay in college for maybe another year so he can gain some muscle/weight and so he can prove he deserves that number 1 overall pick
@@saltyslimcracker7530 - he's gonna be a top #3 pick and could go #1... he can get a big check while putting weight on. No reason to stay for weight and risk an injury.
@@mike2687 as true as that is it may benefit him to learn another year from an amazing organization (Gonzaga) but any more he does will benefit him for sure
@@saltyslimcracker7530 - sure, I’d say that about most college kids that are projected lottery picks. But there are two major factors at play-injury and getting to that second contract. Plus the NBA’s developmental league provides NBA style of coaching but without the distractions of being a young star and allows them to focus on just basketball. I get what you’re saying, I wish Tyus Jones had stayed all four years and became one of college’s all time greatest PG instead of being an average at best pro backups (different case for staying than for Chet)…. But for him, at least he’s getting paid rather than possibly blowing out his knee during a sophomore season.
One thing I have always loved about college versus NBA hoopers... College hoopers play with all heart.🥰 Don't lose that no matter where life takes you.👍💯
As a lifelong duke fan I would say that top to bottom this might be top 3 best constructed teams weve ever had.....Weve got the leader(wendell) weve got the shooter(baker) weve got the wing talent weve got the toughness weve got the superstar weve got one of the best frontcourts weve ever had....we can win in different ways n of course weve got one of the 5 best coaches in any sport of all time
I'm gonna take those early 90's teams, the 1997 squad and the J. Williams teams over this one kicking them out of my top three but I do love the mix of great young NBA talent of Paolo, the rim protection with him and Williams and the overall toughness and grit to with it with Moore, Keels and Theo... reminds me a lot of 2015 (which I'd also put above this one). Baker, IMO, hasn't filled the void of this team needing a knockdown shooter.
I wish 2K or EA Sports would find a way to bring back College Basketball Video Games, I don't care if you have to pay a little bit of money to the players
why is this game played in las vegas? why are there so many fans of both Gonzaga and Duke? who have universities far from Vegas? thanks if anyone can answer I'm Italian and I don't know certain things, thanks
For some reason everytime Duke & Gonzaga have played each other they have played on a Nuetral court. So apparently neither team wanted to play at the other teams home gym so they settled on Nuetral locations. And Las Vegas is much closer to Gozaga (Washington State) than Duke (Dukes in North Carolina) so alot of Gonzaga fans traveled to watch the game. The difference for Duke is that Duke has fans everywhere across the country (and the World) that want to watch them play so no matter where Duke plays they have alot of fans in the stands.
@@levelwithz3779 wow, I really enjoyed your explanation and thank you, for the Italian culture it is incredible to fill a stadium with such young boys and it is amazing how a university can have so many fans in the usa and in the world like Duke, I saw that they played Duke also in New York the first game, entering this USA culture is really interesting and thanks for helping me, maybe 2 players will play in the NBA of this game? Others in Europe and others never again, but the enthusiasm for this sport is incredible collegiate
@@frankrizzo739 I tried to understand the reason from my country Italy why 20 thousand people go to see a college game, Banchero vs Holmgren? is it not a final four / 8/16? so many Gonzaga fans and so many Duke, my curiosity is how can you attract so many fans from so far away for a normal game, but i'm not american and i don't understand these dynamics, anyway thanks to you trying to explain me
Duke COULD NOT WIN without GETTING CALLS from the referees IN THEIR FAVOR, on the hand, I WAS ALREADY off Gonzaga's bandwagon ever since they got WHOOPED in last year's championship verse Baylor! GONZAGA can be BEATEN in the West Coast Conference by BYU, PORTLAND, UNIVERSITY of the PACIFIC, ST. MARY'S, USF & anybody, all they gotta do is PUT GONZAGA in FOUL TROUBLE and they'll CRACK!!!
I dont see here why chet is projected to be number 1. Banchero and Williams are better than him in this game Mike Schmitz is just delusional thinking he should be in the top. I would still be picking Chet in the first round for these pool of draftees but not in the number 1 spot
@@danielmartinsonnenfeldt7276 calm down boy bet you don’t have a team. Dayton scabbed out with a last second heave over my boy Christian Braun while he contested the shot

Thanks for posting. I had missed the game. This was a really good one.
I was there, it was awesome to be there with that many Duke fans, incredible game! #GoDuke 😈
Lamelo Ball to Mark Williams is going to be exciting to see this season , and I'm not even a Hornets fan, but there announcers are awesome
If paolo isn’t the number 1 overall pick then I’m done w the nba😭 so tuff
fr, i don't see any world in which holmgren is over him rn

Oh shit I guess I didn’t miss the game 🔥🔥
The best trip to Las Vegas from Illinois to watch one of the best Duke games I seen.
man Mark Williams can be so good on NBA
Great Final Four game in November! 😎 Thank you for sharing and great editing! 🤩
appreciate the upload !
Bet every lottery team scout was in attendance for this one Houston V Detroit for Chet & Paolo
I love the sportsmanship from the teams!🥰 Awesome. Being opponents doesn't imply not helping someone up. I love it!👍💯🥰
Such a good game and I refuse to pay for live games anymore. Thank you!!

Holmgren is skilled but he only weighs FOUR POUNDS.
I can't wait to watch Banchero for my Orlando Magic
Duke's #1!
Unranked Ohio beat Duke last night 71-66. Where does Duke get ranked next Sunday?
@@vicO1323 Probably #1 Purdue, #2 Duke, #3 Gonzaga
Waiting on that lsu vs Penn state big bro
im on it bro, should be up soon
Good ass I hope this will be the national championship but shit it’s March madness for a reason
😳.... What a game.🙃🤭💕
Banchero Is 🔥
Best. Thanksgiving. Ever.
Paolo deserves No.1 pic

2 missed calls for mark williams shits just too easy…. LETS GO DUKE
40:12 mark shows how NBA ready Chet truly is.
IMO I dont think chet is a first overall I would pick Paolo Banchero over him any day.
@@arry7 two things.
1. Did you check out the marked time?
2. Not even a first rounder?
@@mike2687 lol I meant first round pick.
@@mike2687 and I did check the marked time I watched the whole video
@@arry7 - then your reply is confusing- because my comment was sarcastic and was specific to the time stamp
08:51 Adam Morrison? behind Few
nice game
too bad Gonzaga does not succeed to "kill" the game when leading... :( i guess too young team
Stay on those feet dear one's. Feet up. Pace. Feet drills next practice.🤭💕
