Kansas vs North Carolina / Game Thread

[Tango Two]

Blue bloods battle it out

 

[koleszar]

OK they did it, they really accomplished something there. That has to be the worst rendition of the National Anthem I've ever heard.

 

[Plum Street]

Game starts too late. Been saying this for over 30 years .
End of old man rant

 

[newell138]

Could be the first shutout ever

 

[Plum Street]

Game is on tbs, tnt and tru . What’s the difference ?

The second and third letters are all different? That's all I've got.

 

[phlop87]

If Manek was on RU he would have been called for a foul for having his face in the wrong spot

Perfect start time for the west coasters

UNC, the school who got caught making fake grades from fake classes for athletes playing in the championship game.

NCAA is a joke.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Absolutely love Bacot’s game. The guy gets every rebound.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Not much in the way of “legitimate” offenses being run out there

Not to mention Kansas under bill self cheated but it’s all good

 

[biazza38]

I might drown myself watching this game.
Kansas has been unwatchable around the rim.
And they can’t shoot at all from the outside in the big stadium

 

[Caliknight]

Absolutely love Bacot’s game. The guy gets every rebound.

Great game. Terrible hair

 

[shields]

Kansas horrible, especially number 2.

 

[Letitrip]

Is there a worst place to play the title game than the dome on New Orleans? No atmosphere at all. NCAA is a joke - money makes every decision.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

UNC’s starters have played 90 of a possible 100 minutes thus far. Love it.

 

[King of S]

Amazing just 30 days ago some were saying Carolina should even make the field.

 

[Scarlet Beach]

This game has become a snoozefest by the end of the first half, so I'm hoping for a better second half. I don't want KU to win, but I also want an interesting game tonight- a blowout is no fun.

 

[RU848789]

Kansas started off like gangbusters and with Bacot looking gimpy, I thought KU would dominate. Wrong, lol. UNC has simply dominated the inside with regard to shots, rebounds and drawing fouls, while KU has just looked out of sorts. Let's hope KU can make a comeback as I hate UNC...

 

[RU848789]

KU cuts it to 8 with a FT coming up. Might still have a game...

 

[shields]

Finally Kansas cuts it to 1.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Could still be a KU blowout. They’ve erased the 15 point halftime deficit in just 7 minutes. 1 point game, let’s see if UNC can find a way to counterpunch.

 

[Scangg]

UNC needs to get Manek involved

 

[RU848789]

Wow, what a 2nd half by Kansas, as they're now up 56-50 on a 31-10 run!

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Go KU

 

[RU848789]

Surprised they haven't talked about Love rolling his ankle, as he just doesn't seem as nimble since that.

 

[RU848789]

OK they did it, they really accomplished something there. That has to be the worst rendition of the National Anthem I've ever heard.

Seriously? Thought it was a nice change of pace and well done.

 

[RUChoppin]

Exhaustion for Johnson?

Edit: They are saying he took a shot to the stomach.

 

[RU848789]

Love just took a horrible 28 footer and then UNC kept firing up treys for some reason. Dumb.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

What an awful last possession from UNC. Don‘t need a 3 at all and they chuck up a couple. Sitting on 2 timeouts. Terrible (which is fine by me).

 

[SBP]

Love is a friggin ball hoggin gunner. Blew it with his selfish play the second half.

 

[RUChoppin]

Gets another chance off a blown inbound

 

[RU848789]

Looks like RU isn't the only team that struggles with in-bounds plays...

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

Tim Higgins would have walked off the court at this point.

 

[RUChoppin]

It all evens out, no?

 

[RU848789]

Foul them!

 

[rob kight]

Kansas tried the RU inbounds play!

 

[SBP]

Run a play for Manek

 

[RUTrack94]

Entertaining 2nd half … even a potential NCAA champ can have trouble inbounding from the sidelines … would be fitting to go to OT.
