Houston has advanced to the national championship for the first time since 1984 and the third time overall after stunning Duke 70-67 in the Final Four.

Seeking their first ever national title, the Cougars will face Florida in the final on Monday after the Gators beat Auburn in tonight’s first semifinal.

Houston trailed nearly the entire game before taking the lead with 19.6 seconds left. Cooper Flagg, hours after winning the Wooden Award, had a go-ahead midrange jumper with eight seconds remaining but left it short.

L.J. Cryer led the Cougars with 26 points and Emanuel Sharp added 16. Cooper Flagg led all players with 27 points and added seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks, but it wasn’t enough as Duke’s first appearance in the Final Four in the post-Coach K era ended in a stunning defeat.
