For 30 minutes on Saturday, Duke looked destined for the national title game. Cooper Flagg’s wild freshman season was about to end with a storybook finish. The Blue Devils were firing on all cylinders—just like they had been all season long. But then… Houston’s defense pulled the ultimate plot twist. This wasn’t just a loss—it was a flat-out collapse. The kind you, especially Tyrese Proctor, don’t forget anytime soon.
Duke made just one field goal in the last 10 and a half minutes. One. The team that had never lost a game under Jon Scheyer when leading by 10 or more? Yes, that streak’s toast. The Cougars came back with a 10-0 run to cut Duke’s 59-45 lead to just four.
Then they finished with a jaw-dropping 15-3 burst to steal the game, 70-67, and punch their ticket to the title game against Florida. From smooth sailing to shipwreck in under 11 minutes. And well, fans knew who they were pointing fingers at—Tyrese Proctor. The baller who shoots 42.2% from the field went a rough 2-for-8, finishing with just 7 points. Fans aren’t exactly in a forgiving mood either.
“Tyrese Proctor… I’ll never forgive you,” wrote one. Another chimed in, “No way Duke can keep wasting NIL money on this sorry a-s player.”
Tyrese Proctor better be off the Duke roster next year if he doesn’t end up getting drafted. No way Duke can keep wasting NIL money on this sorry ass player.
