Lovin me some Tar Heels

I expected Duke to lose. That was a ton of pressure put on those kids to deliver.

This is a rivalry, the best in college basketball and arguably the best in all sports.  You go to Duke or UNC to play in this game.  This game is pure pressure.

Duke wasn't acting much like they were under pressure.  They dominated stretches of the game however, UNC was resilient each time Duke punched Carolina Punched back. 

Everyone wants to say Duke played poorly but Carolina outlasted them and outplayed them down the stretch.  Carolina scored 55 points in the 2nd half.  Duke was outplayed and out coached. 

Duke was the #4 team in the country and Saturday the better team won.

Duke started out tight from the nerves. They tightened up again when Carolina took the lead late. K just never recognized it. He left them hung out there to dry. He also never adjusted to UNC changing the way they played Banchero. They had no answer for him isolating early on but once they softened to avoid giving up the drive and to give up the shot Banchero proved unable to score when he couldn't get to the rim. Forcing him to settle for pull ups led to a lot of missed shots and ultimately Carolina rebounds.

The most beautiful thing about that loss for duke is that it was a really poor night of coaching for K.

I don't pay much attention to college basketball but I caught the second half because it was a game of historic importance.  K looked like he wanted to kill his entire team and then himself during that ceremony.

Also holy poo imagine camping out for weeks and/or dropping a down payment on a house just to watch that.

Ha! I was so jacked up it took me a while to get to bed. I’m not a drinker. I almost went out and did some yard work to burn off some of the excitement. 
 

This W was one of the biggest wins in team history - and arguably the biggest win in regular season history of the program. They absolutely ruined the party in front of all the entire brotherho….I mean Semesterhood and you could tell Mike did not want to be there for little after party that felt more like a funeral than a celebration.

Heels didn't want none.  They knew what was coming.  Same with all their whiny ass fans calling in the radio saying they didn't want to play Duke again.

I just can't for the life of me understand what Hubert is trying to run on offense. His offense seems completely predicated on outside jumpers falling and is setup by either isolation dribble attacks or the same tired three man top of the key weave. Our starting guards were a combined 5-27 from the field and 3-17 from three to score 20 very inefficient points combined. Meanwhile, our lone true post player and ACC POY runner-up was 9-10 for 19 incredibly efficient points.

Our approach seems entirely backasswards.

We shouldn’t be surprised honestly.  UNC has had games this year where just didn’t show up (Pitts) and stunk up the gym.  Hubert basically took the ass whipping and made no adjustments.  Way to much settling for 3s last night.

Yes the team that spanked you by 20 on your home floor. So you gtfoh. Career best nights from two of your bum  players wouldn't have happened again and you know it. We'll take the double this year.  Enjoy your 1 quality win all year and be gone.

Don’t feel to bad. Va Tech is playing out of their minds lately 

[LinvilleGorge]

Damn. The ACC was a straight up joke this year in both football and basketball. Just yikes. Won't shock me if there's not a single ACC team in the sweet 16.
