There are a lot of angry Duke basketball fans right now and you know what, we don’t blame them one bit. On Saturday night, it looked like Duke was on its way to a dominant win over Houston, but the Cougars did the unthinkable and captured a 70-67 win .
However, plenty of people are going to be talking about the Cooper Flagg foul late in the contest for quite some time. As you’ll be able to see in the video below, Flagg was called for a foul battling for a rebound. This was Charmin Ultra soft and it led to two free throws for Houston, giving them the lead. How on earth was this called?

Duke fans are convinced the refs screwed Duke with a terrible foul call on Cooper Flagg late
Flagg couldn’t believe it when he heard the whistle and he wasn’t the only one. It’s going to take a long time for someone to make sense of this decision. Flagg was battling for the rebound, sure, but what did he do that was a foul? If anything, he was being extra careful to not do anything wrong…
