Fact: the most memorable thing about this year's college basketball season in the long run will be UNC completely derailing K's farewell tour.

Deal with it. Yeah, I wish we had ultimately cut down the nets. That would've been awesome. But it'll also always be awesome thinking back on the greatest regular season win and greatest non-championship post-season win in UNC history both coming within the space of a month from a completely unexpected team. That's what made this run so fun. NO ONE saw it coming. 

Do you know what fact vs. opinion is?  This is your opinion:

Fact: the most memorable thing about this year's college basketball season in the long run will be UNC completely derailing K's farewell tour.

It can be your opinion, but it's not factual at all.

Here's a fact:  Carolina blew the biggest halftime lead ever in the National Championship game.

Let's circle back on this on a decade. People will still be talking about the wins over duke. No one will remember Carolina's short bench and stars playing on sprained ankles running out of gas down the stretch.

An 8 seed. Choking. In the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game.

Imagine being dumb enough to put that string of logic together. 😂

Man, St. Peter's totally choked in the Elite 8. What chumps! 😂 😂 😂

 

At least you admit you hold everyone to one standard and Duke to another. 😂 😂 😂

Lmao everyone will believe that Falcons choke job y’all pulled out. Only tarheel fans are going to say it’s because our guys were hurt and ran out of gas. Lol Kansas played the same amount of games. Y’all chocked live with it!

An 8 seed. Literally no one expected this team to go beyond the 2nd round. Y'all are so shocked we're not horribly upset because none of us expected this run. Duke expected to be there. That's the difference. It's not a difficult concept.

There's a reason why there's only a small handful of folks tone-deaf enough to be talking trash. 😂

 

Oh, by the way... be good. Don't get banned again.

No it’s only y’all keyboard warriors on here. Nobody has literally said anything like that to me outside of this forum. Y’all have nothing better to do then sit behind ur phones and make poo up. Sore losers lol

Respectfully, that's BS. Duke was a 2-seed that I felt like probably should've been a 3. I felt like they peaked earlier in the year and after scraping to the ACCCG, was hoping for a regional final appearance and seeing where it went from there. And the UNC fans I know absolutely felt like S16 or E8 were within reach.

I told buddies that this team could make an Elite 8 run or lose by 20 in the 1st round. They were capable of beating anyone (and getting beaten by anyone). I never dreamed they'd come anywhere close to the final game.

After VT, I felt like Duke or UNC could go a long way or lose in the first round. Duke didn't even make the dance last year and their stronghold on the regular-season title felt more tenuous as the season went on. College basketball is a fickle mistress, and I don't underrate anyone when March rolls around.

Coach K literally made Duke a thing. Beating him not once, but twice and in the only Tournament matchup ever and sending him into retirement ends the rivalry talk. So yeah. Just go on and shitt bud. Keep crying and whining. It's cute. 

No, Duke had played in the NCAAs before and 2 National Championships before K arrived.  They weren't Gonzaga or a Connecticut type program with little to no success before a coach arrived and made them an annual contender. 

I think most Carolina fans despise Duke because he did make Duke a successful program on an annual basis, he took Dean out of the spotlight and outperformed him as well....5 National Titles to 2 (Roy even did better than Dean). 

Anyways Carolina fans can keep spewing their garbage and opinions and feel good about being the National runner up....it's another meaningless banner they can hang up in their dome. 

What they can't live down is the fact that they lost a 15 point lead in the National Championship game.  I bet if Roy was still coaching he would have won that dad gummit. 

Just like the Failcons Super Bowl collapse Duke fans rejoice:

Never Forget 4/4/2022:

I hate K because he's a miserable prick who makes everything about him.

😂 At you desperately trying to make that Falcons thing happen when your legendary coach got served up in the two biggest games of his season by a rookie head coach with a far less talented team. 😂 😂 😂

You didn't answer my question:  Do you know what a fact is vs. an opinion?

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
