Houston vs Duke - last two minute highlights

So, I decided to watch The Residence instead. Was keeping an eye on the score and was thinking I made the right viewing decision. Imagine my surprise!! So, given how the game was appearing to be going, is it correct to assume it was a massive Duke slurpfest the entire game? (That's why I chose not to watch in the first place)
 
That had Flagg’s DNA all over it. He blew the switch for a three. He didn’t block out for a follow up dunk. Over the back on free throw miss for two free throws. Way short on the fade away in the lane.

Pretty much a carbon copy to all his mistakes in last 90 seconds against UK.
 
Duke was up 6 with the ball with less than a minute to play
 
Is that the motion for over the top by the ref there because it looks like he didnt make a signal, just pointed at Flagg for the foul. Because I thought over the top was a different hand gesture . Its possible the announcers assumed it was over the top because the actual foul was pinning down the Houston players arms and flagg using his right hand under the guys arm pit to shove him out of the way. That is a foul and that angle he had he'd be able to see the right hand of Flagg doing it.
 
The pivotal sequence was the steal where the ball caromed off of two guys before the UH player snagged it out of the air. Great reflexes and reaction.

When the guy got the pass and ran straight to the 3 point line I first thought it was a dumb move but the Duke defense was scrambling and no blockout on the putback dunk made it a smart gamble. Just a great effort by Houston.

Putting Flagg in an iso was not a great call in my opinion. Put him in pick and roll and make the other team make a read. They were obviously going to put it in Flagg’s hands but the iso was dumb IMO.
 
I gotta say the foul call on Flagg was a little questionable but I ain’t mad at all about it
It gets let go throughout the game but he was on his back and reached over his shoulder……

Didn’t really matter too much. Houston got the rebound and would have had numbers going the other way
