Now that half of the Texans season is almost in the books, it's a good time to evaluate the job Bill O'Brien has done this year.
But instead of talking about his performance coaching the team, let's talk about the moves he's made as the general manager.
ESPN 97.5's John Granato, Lance Zierlein, and Raheel Ramzanali grade Bill O'Brien's performance as Texans GM at the midpoint of the season. SportsMap Roundtable is presented by Tight Ends Sports Bar & Grill.
Houston rallies to beat Duke and advance to face Florida for NCAA title
Apr 5, 2025, 11:08 pm
Houston’s suffocating defense wiped away a 14-point deficit over the final eight minutes and erased Cooper Flagg and Duke’s title hopes Saturday in a 70-67 stunner over the Blue Devils at the Final Four.
Duke made a grand total of one field goal over the last 10 1/2 minutes of this game. The second-to-last attempt was a step-back jumper in the lane by Flagg that J’Wan Roberts disrupted. The last was a desperation heave by Tyrese Proctor that caught nothing at the buzzer.
It was Roberts’ two free throws with 19.6 seconds left that gave the Cougars their first lead since 6-5. LJ Cryer, who led Houston with 26 points, made two more to push the lead to three. It was Houston’ biggest lead of the night.
The Cougars, who never won a title, not even in the days of Phi Slama Jamma, will play Florida on Monday night for the championship.
