Yep. Sucks to come up one game short but that was an insane run.

Awe shame to see such a magical run come up short. UNC would tied Villanova for the lowest seed to win a title too.

Been saying it since the Baylor win. It's all house money now. Sucks to lose but that was fun run. It'll never get old reminiscing about derailing K's farewell tour. Twice.

This one hurts because of the way it unfolded but proud of everything that this Carolina team accomplished.

Love and Davis struggled tonight but they got us here. Then we had Bacot playing on one leg, Manek probably has a concussion, Puff was throwing up… I give these kids a ton of credit. They left it all out there and at the end of the day Kansas was just better… no problem with that.

Unc alumni class of 2013.. I followed  the basketball  team closely all 4 years I was there but not so much after I graduated. They won the championship literally 2 months  before I started school there. They absolutely  sucked my freshman  year but iirc were good 2010 to 12 or 13 but didn't make it anywhere near the championship  game.

Been keeping tabs this season didn't watch any of the games. But  it's unfortunate  they lost. I did watch the national championship  they lost few years ago on the last second shot. Then they won the next year iirc. 

Kinda glad I didn't stay invested bc it looks like they Choked this one away badly.

Carolina was an 8 seed for a reason. Great run, but coaching in the second half was non existent. You call every TO you have to stop that run. Davis called his first TO when they were within a few points. Awful

Nah. It wasn't a choke job. They took the punch and got back up off the mat. We just ran out of gas down the stretch. The short bench finally caught up to us. Bacot literally went until the wheels fell off.

Rat face won nothing this year other than the reg season acc crown which counts for next to nothing. Glad VT could help make that happen and that duke got 2 more rainy days from UNC.

Perfect.

Glad he is gone. Always know that he gets calls, and ref swallowed whistles that go against the rat.

 

What sucks is this really didn't feel like a 15 point lead for UNC ever but record books are gonna keep it as the biggest comeback by Kansas for now. At least it's not UVA level of history. This one wasn't really that big as it was down to manageable right after half so that 15 point lead really didn't tell the tail of the game.

Hmmm oh well then. 

It's funny I still wear a ton of unc clothes  and people assume I'm a hard core fan and I just wear them bc I went to school there and like the colors . 

Also somewhat bizzarly I became a truck driver several years after graduation (long story) but that always throws people for a loop and they're like why tf are you driving trucks lol

Other than checking a box for an HR department I can't honestly say I've ever truly used my degree. Just being honest. Our higher education approach could use a significant retooling.

Yeah, for us VT fans, the acc title was impossible 2-3 months ago. Hell for us that was as big as a final four. And yeah that went red hot for a month to make it in and got a bad matchup I'm Texas but hell, getting in was house money anyways looking back in January/Feb.
