UNDRAFTED!!!!! The NBA doesn’t pick the best talent any more. They find guys who have one skill they can turn into a roll player. And place him around the Star.
Someone give this man Johnny Dawkins a medal. That defensive scheme he ran was masterful, and something only really FSU can emulate. So good. I feel like he out coached Coach K today, even with the loss.
11:55 Zion drawing the foul on Tako to foul him out of the game was the game changer. RJ would’ve not grabbed the offensive rebound and scored if Tako was still in the game.
Not to mention after choking the free throw the refs swallow the whistle when there was a hook and hold + a push off right across from it at the end, ucf was robbed tho I do agree on the layup part
Wasn't sure how we'd do against Duke but man am I'm proud of my Knights. This game could have gone either way and UCF did incredible. No shame in a loss like this that made people worry about their brackets. Charge on Knights!
im a florida state fan, we had them in january by 1 point but they made a 3 pointer right as the buzzer went off. They have had quite a few close calls
Im ready to see Dawkins in the NBA it's his time. I am a Duke fan but I was rooting for em both, too much talent out on that court. I hope all of them see a bright future.
Here is my thing. I'm excited to see this University grow. No one can deny they are improving every year in multiple sports. So this loss just like the college football loss shows me UCF is rising. A university that no one knew of 5 years ago is now getting a lot of attention. It's an exciting time to be a knights fan 😁.
If Tacko can learn to control the amount of fouls he takes in a game, he'll be an unstoppable force. Tacko, Dawkins and the entire UCF team did an awesome job. I really wished they had won. Awesome effort against one of the best, if not thee best, teams in the NCAA.
@@JayoArea51 Doesn't matter. Fall's left foot was entirely in the restricted zone, which means it's automatically a blocking foul on the defender if the offensive player dribbles in.
Cam reddish ain't that selfish to hold on to the ball he knows he can take over the game, he puts the team first by doing whatever he can with his touches plus with him being the 3rd option he doesn't get the recognition he deserves for what he sacrifices so the team can succeed so it's a guaranteed win #Underrated!
Nah reddish is not playing up to his projected potential. If he was Duke would be unstoppable. People use that he sacrifices his game. No, he gets plenty of touches and shots. He is underachieving. 4 fouls like that. He charges everytime he makes a basketball ball. He jumps into the defender. His mechanics are horrible. No one freezes him out. He gets as many opportunities as the other two.
kcorpora1 he’s not in foul trouble often so not sure what games you watch, second he’s the third option. Counting Tre who handles the ball 4th. RJ is ball dominant. Cam is a pure shooter. It’s extremely hard for a shooter to play with a guy like RJ. He needs the ball in his hands to be most effective. So that nullifies Tre’s ability to dish to the open man. If you think it’s easy to hit that shot after not taking one for more than 10 minutes you’re insane. His patience and ability to stay consistently a 3 point threat has been amazing. That’s why he’s been the one (up until this last game) to hit EVERY critical shot this season for Duke. Louisville, Virginia, FSU, NC, and Wake Forrest games proved that he takes the back seat but when he decides not too he’s as effective if not more than RJ.
@@PHOENIXQ2024 he is in foul trouble during the first half of majority of the games this year. He commits at least two offensive fouls almost every game. He is great, and is likely the most natural player in the draft. Shooters prefer playing with ball dominant players because it doesn't require them to create their own shot. But he is not underrated, especially considering he is a top 5 draft pick. I think his biggest issue is he doesn't realize how good he is the same way we all know he is. He hugs the three point line even though he has the range to take a few steps back. He really has to learn to jump stop more often when slashing. He goes full speed and runs over other players. His defense is great and he's still one of the top players in the nation. Ive watched every game they've played this year. The word "underrated" cannot be used to describe this kid.
Yup, kinda like how basketball works. Believe me, I've seen my team on the opposite receiving end of this many times. As recent as that first Syracuse game this season.
We had a lot of fans rooting for them, but the game was in Columbia, SC. Guess what school is closer? Duke. It takes 8 hours to drive out of Florida alone.
An Drew I wish NBA fans payed respects to their opposing teams like you do to UCF. But sadly the NBA fans are toxic. They are so toxic that 11th seed teams like the Lakers are the hated on, rookies like Trae Young are hated on, veteran players like Dirk Nowitzki and Vince Carter are frowned upon and told to quit working. College ball fans seem more positive compared to NBA fans who hate the soul out of a player. Oh man if only there were more people like you who wished the best for the opponents.
As a UCF fan I'm still absolutely crushed we lost, I feel like we had that game and Duke got very lucky that tip in didnt go in. That being said, hats off to Duke and Coach K for an amazing game and best of luck in the rest of the tournament. To all the seniors, thank you for everything you've done, UCF would not be where it is today without you. Looks like the future is bright for UCF basketball, we'll see Duke again next year.
UCF almost ended 90% of people's brackets. If they made that alley or MADE that tip in even...game would've been *SET!* Shoutout to Aubrey Dawkins, Tacko and on Duke's side Big Zion and RJ, for making this game entertaining as possible!
Man I’m a Duke fan but those UCF kids deserved the win they were awesome, especially Dawkins he was lights out but Zion was also out of this world he carried Duke on his back.
I felt so sorry for Dawkins after that game. He literally made every jumper that he took, but missed the put back layup that would've made him and UCF a legend.
Cam, Zion, and RJ all made clutch plays under two minutes to go. Aubrey Dawkins was unconscious and UCF hit some clutch shots to give them a chance for the win. UCF also did well limiting Zion to 50% shooting (12-24) and forced him into 3 TOs. Tre and RJ combined to miss 19 shots. They’ve got to be more efficient for Duke to beat VT.
It all went down to the very end there is no Rhyme or Reason Why the other team did not win this game. They had the shot they had the tip and all went Crashing Down when that ball world around the rim only the bounce off what an amazing Duke win! There's no other way to describe it was meant to win because the way that ball balance shows you just how life can be one small tip what athletic decision and it could have been another team advancing towards the final. This is one of the greatest games I've seen so far this year. All I can say is Duke is your world you guys make it happen!
To all the people I see on these videos and Facebook saying "Duke got help from the refs"....There are calls missed both ways throughout the game. I am a UNC fan and I think some UNC fans forget the help we had when we played Arkansas on the run to the title in 2017. The majority of the time the teams that win it all go through a game like this. Unless you're Nova last year or UNC in 2009. As a UNC fan this worries me....this game is going to be an INCREDIBLY coaching moment for coach K and is only going to make this team tougher. So yeah....maybe Duke did get "lucky"....but in a tourny like this I think all teams need a little luck. Still a W at the end of the day..
If Tacko didn’t foul out UCF would’ve got the free throw rebound and won the game or at least made one of those layups Duke really caught a break that that was his 5th
Tacko should've fouled out earlier anyway. But Zions and-1 will be iconic, that, RJ's rebound, and Reddish's three won the game. Tacko going out definetly changed things
Duke’s outside shooting has been awful all year and it was painful to watch Tre Jones throw up brick after brick. Coach K needs to give Alex O’Connell some playing time to bolster their shooting! He put in Goldwire but Duke needed more shooting, c’mon now.
First time seeing Tacko and i'm impressed. Once he gets some meat on those bones he might something special. Zion is just an athletic freak. How does a guy that big move so quick. Amazing court vision as well. This draft class is looking like a winner.
I still hate this. I wasn't even a UCF fan, but I was rooting soo hard for them to beat Duke and they came up that short. I actually almost cried for a team I didn't even root for.
Wow almost all of the sweet 16 is #4 seeds or lower. Only my Auburn Tigers, Oregon/UC Irvine, and maybe Ohio State are #5 or higher...this March madness is gonna be fun to watch!!
Just like everyone, I came here to see the Zion and Tacko show but this kid Dawkins made it hard not to notice him. He had a great game and definitely put himself on the map Nationally.
@@mse2130 what about em? Of course they can win but my comment was about how i didnt have to stress about how close the game was cuz i didnt pick Duke, and they play MSU next, unc has nothing to do with them lol
Ha! The ref in the beginning threw it as far away from Tacko and into the hands of Zion, and even with the help, Tacko still got the ball. Thats hilarious right there. UCF deserved that win. Good game from both teams.
Cause nature or god what ever you believe in has no limits......there are whales the size of skyscrapers swimming in an ocean so big that its rare to see them.Yeah 7ft6 athlete small task
I’m calling it now. Dawkins will have a stretch in his career where he is the best player in the NBA. The dude is gifted. His shot reminds me a lot of Kobe’s. His balance and the confidence he has with each jumper.
I think Duke will still win the championship with Zion dominating the whole way there. I think Aubrey is a very talented player and could do big things on the next level, and his dad is just a smart guy with great athletic and coaching skills. And Tako is just a 7’6 guy that is clumsy and a good defender, but he did have 7 fouls( 2 weren’t called ).
Skip Bayless "Lebron should watch Zion more u seen how he attacked the basket even though he missed the free throw but... He Attacked The Basket !!! " Lol I feel it coming 😂
For a fraction of a second I thought UCF had the game won with the rebound and shot off the missed layup. I was about to start impersonating Howard Cosell: "Down goes Duke! Down goes Duke!" Duke going down in the tournament always makes my day. Heartbreaking way to go down, missing two shots from point blank range.
Great game must see tv status .zion was a beast im also impressed with tako and see a future in the nba with him ala roy hibbert and dikembe mutumbo .it was a second round battle down to the wire with a trip to the sweet sixteen down to the wire .this is why i love the march madness tournament lol
Hot but not NEW. UCF has a Bowl history beating top SEC teams in football. The knights win Over Auburn in the peach bowl was not a one hit wonder. UCF is just a tech school that goes under the Radar because their not considered a Blueblood in the NCAA
Oh man poor Hawkins at the end mising the put back that he was all over. His reaction watching the ball fly back into play is crushing. I know one thing see him in the NBA just like his Dad, apple didnt fall very far from the tree when it comes to game with those two.
This was a very entertaining game, best game in the tournament I have seen so far..Zion was very impressive but Dawkins was on fire and had the best preformance...
Is it by NCAA rules okay to lose Ball control without Defenders influence and pick it back up? I see this 2,3 times per Game by Zion Williamson. As if he is unable to speed dribble and keep Ball control. Would be a travel in any professional league. Or is it okay because its him? Just curious.
@@themaze45 and the defender was late to the spot and got spun off of and wasnt big enough to handle the contact...not a foul...couldve been a blocking foul tho cause he was late...just take the L
Duke got lucky to pull this one out. UCF was tough. 3 or 4 great players in this one. Last time I was this amazed with a player like Dawkins, was Dwyane wade.
I think we’re ignoring what happened for Duke today. Literally everyone in the big 3 took clutch shots after each other that allowed Duke to win. Cam sees that their down 4 so he hits a clutch three off the screen, UCF ends up shooting 2 free throws so Zion scores at the rack and gets a foul. Last but not least, RJ has Zions back and puts up the game winning layup. Amazing.
This is why people watch March Madness.
Exactly why I love March Madness. It's the best time of the year for me. I love college BB and dont watch NBA until
the finals...
A 1 & done tourney in the NBA would be so much fun....although I know it will never happen. Way too much $$$ involved!!!
@a c Loyola was the story last year
who watches march madness to see a team get blatantly ripped off???? not me!

Cause nature or god what ever you believe in has no limits......there are whales the size of skyscrapers swimming in an ocean so big that its rare to see them.Yeah 7ft6 athlete small task
Good game; I had no rooting interest but I couldn't believe RJ Barrett wasn't called for a push off on that rebound after the missed free throw.
Dawkins definitely has a future in the NBA
Probably the best game I've seen this millennium.
Took Bill Rafdery all his strength to never yell "TacoTime" once during that game...
I’m calling it now. Dawkins will have a stretch in his career where he is the best player in the NBA. The dude is gifted. His shot reminds me a lot of Kobe’s. His balance and the confidence he has with each jumper.
saal Pleasures His father was an incredible player as well @ 6 foot 2
I think Duke will still win the championship with Zion dominating the whole way there. I think Aubrey is a very talented player and could do big things on the next level, and his dad is just a smart guy with great athletic and coaching skills. And Tako is just a 7’6 guy that is clumsy and a good defender, but he did have 7 fouls( 2 weren’t called ).
Best college game in a long time
Barrett and Zion super clutch teammates 🔥
u forgot about cam
Its not Duke University. It is Zion University. without him they would already be eliminated
Skip Bayless "Lebron should watch Zion more u seen how he attacked the basket even though he missed the free throw but... He Attacked The Basket !!! " Lol I feel it coming 😂
Don’t let this game make you guys forget that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead
And jr smith thought the cavs were up
poor guy it’s 2019 already😢 I hope you move on sooner. I’ll pray for your soul.
@@user-pk3zh6eb1f I dont think any cares we still bring up basketball from 20+ years ago 😢
Atlanta blew a 28-3 lead
Well since you remember that you clearly remember what they have done the past two years right? Remind me, who won the last two finals?
For a fraction of a second I thought UCF had the game won with the rebound and shot off the missed layup. I was about to start impersonating Howard Cosell: "Down goes Duke! Down goes Duke!" Duke going down in the tournament always makes my day. Heartbreaking way to go down, missing two shots from point blank range.
Tacko doesn't even jump. Its not fair, man😂😂
Vanevor Leverette i dont think he can jump very high either way
If Taco were to jump while on the court there would be a basketball game being played beneath him.
One of the best games of the tournament, ever.
Imagine if NBA officiated games legitimately. This is what real, not rigged basketball looks like
Redskins Spear clearly everyone in the comments disagrees. Duke won fair and square.
@@33baugh that's funny ucf went to the line at least 20 times! What game were you watching😂
This was the best team effort in a win I’ve ever seen, everyone just seemed to be coming thru with clutch plays what a game
Imagine if Fall was with Duke👀
He's not puffster so it's a moot scenario
duke is likely on one loss for the season due to Zion being out a few games and blowing out the competition and winning by 10 minimum in the tourney
All Tacko has is height, he'll be a foul out Machine in the NBA against better stronger 7 footers
This has to be one of the most entertaining highlights I’ve seen
There was a lid on the rim for UCF during those two tries at the basket.
Great game must see tv status .zion was a beast im also impressed with tako and see a future in the nba with him ala roy hibbert and dikembe mutumbo .it was a second round battle down to the wire with a trip to the sweet sixteen down to the wire .this is why i love the march madness tournament lol
UCF is the 🔥 new Florida school for 🏈 & 🏀 , 1 day Duke will lose a game like this , 1 day.... 😥
trust me they have in the past...it happens to everyone
They lost plenty like this bro
Hot but not NEW. UCF has a Bowl history beating top SEC teams in football. The knights win Over Auburn in the peach bowl was not a one hit wonder. UCF is just a tech school that goes under the Radar because their not considered a Blueblood in the NCAA
I could see them losing Friday to Tech
Odezy Beckhummice janior ok buddy first of shut your mouth. Dawkins did not just come out of a cave all of a sudden. Definitely not a one hit wonder.
Even though I'm a Duke fan I am proud of UCF keeping up with Duke. Good game
Who watched this after seeing RDC world’s video
Joe Banks before*
Tourney that year was filled with great games. The tournament is the best sporting event of the year.
Oh man poor Hawkins at the end mising the put back that he was all over. His reaction watching the ball fly back into play is crushing. I know one thing see him in the NBA just like his Dad, apple didnt fall very far from the tree when it comes to game with those two.
Yeah the coaches son. Hershey Hawkins is their coach.
Johnny Dawkins
This game right here alone made it one of the best tournaments I have ever seen the intensity was like watching the Championship...
THE BALL NEVER TOUCHED THE RIM. DUKE SHOULDA BEEN UP BY 3.
Creator278 Barrett pushed off on the game winning put back who cares great game
@@andrewriordan2260 I know but it clearlydidn't. Refs almost cost Duke the win.
@@andrewriordan2260
No he didn't, there was zero box out attempt by the other player.
Y’all act like the NCAA wants duke to lose they are a walking dollar sign
Andrew Riordan uh they were up by 3 and the refs missed the ball not hitting the rim. They choked
What a game! This year's March Madness has been incredible.
Dame I hope this wasn't the championship game lol man what a game my hat's off to UCF
xdice 4life Do you know how March Madness works?
Yup sadly UCF was eliminated
@@505johnny look kid u missed my point lol
This was a very entertaining game, best game in the tournament I have seen so far..Zion was very impressive but Dawkins was on fire and had the best preformance...
I honestly Feel bad for central Florida they honestly should've won they deserved it
Is it by NCAA rules okay to lose Ball control without Defenders influence and pick it back up? I see this 2,3 times per Game by Zion Williamson. As if he is unable to speed dribble and keep Ball control. Would be a travel in any professional league. Or is it okay because its him? Just curious.
They shouldn't have thrown that lob 🤦🏾♂️
Which one? The one to Dawkins where he missed?
@@bradvan8156 I think so towards the end on the break
@J Z they were on a 2 on 1 break and the only guy was at half court. Make the easy pass. The lob was not necessary.
Unbelievable basketball game.
zion's last drive is big time clutch move!
allstar sports it wasn’t a foul taco went straight up bd call
Zion had 2 offensive fouls on that play smh lol...look at the replay
He went straight up then made contact with both arms on everything but the ball...that's a foul...ur bias is poking out a lil
@@themaze45 and the defender was late to the spot and got spun off of and wasnt big enough to handle the contact...not a foul...couldve been a blocking foul tho cause he was late...just take the L
He was right in front of dude not late...they didn't wanna call the foul on Zion...I ain't worried bout no L...I'm talking about that one play
Duke got lucky to pull this one out. UCF was tough. 3 or 4 great players in this one. Last time I was this amazed with a player like Dawkins, was Dwyane wade.
UCF was lucky to have a close game there was definitely missed calls
Throwback to the Wake Forest game.
John Gotti UCF identically copied the last 3 seconds...
I think we’re ignoring what happened for Duke today. Literally everyone in the big 3 took clutch shots after each other that allowed Duke to win. Cam sees that their down 4 so he hits a clutch three off the screen, UCF ends up shooting 2 free throws so Zion scores at the rack and gets a foul. Last but not least, RJ has Zions back and puts up the game winning layup. Amazing.
I don’t watch college ball and I don’t even know what UCF stands for but when it went in and out I was heartbroken
Six rings Of steel UCF-University of Central Florida
I was at UCF for a summer camp just last summer. Never thought they were such a strong team!
