This is legit the first time ESPN has talked about KU all tournament

[VernNice]

Um? Did UNC not beat a #1 seed Baylor and #2 duke? So they don’t have a chance ?

💔💔💔🤷🏼‍♂️😭
I’m so heartbroken, my Dukies fell short to an awesome Tarheel squad. That win was a 100% “TEAM” effort. There simply wasn’t any room for error down the stretch of the game! We tend to tag the leading scorers of the team with the badge of honor or the hero so to speak…
Tarheel’s, I’d definitely be showing mad love and appreciation to Puff Johnson. This kid comes into the biggest game of his young life, filling the role of the superstar Bacot, and he held his own with Duke’s big men and played great defense and…..
MADE HIS FKN FOUL SHOTS!!!!
He embraced his Rome to perfection and the Dukies couldn’t or either didn’t take advantage of the situation where Bacot was out of the game momentarily attending to his ankle.
Well done Puff!!! You’re exactly what every championship team must have in their quest for a title

Lol you know SAS hasn’t watch a college game all year

[steppingtotheam]

Wonder if Coach K thought that L was “unacceptable” like the one in Cameron? 🤔

As a KU Fan, it's the national championship. They aren't overlooking anyone. And they are more focused and hungry for this than I have seen from a KU team in a long time. They have poise and leadership. UNC has firepower, can they maintain it for 40 minutes? We'll see. I think it'll be a great game and if KU does lose, I think they will look back at this as a huge missed opportunity and it will sting for a long time. Hawks, go finish the deal and hang another banner at the phog! RCJH! GO KU!

It's been a fun tournament for Tarheel fans. Most people didn't think Heels would get this far. Just a few weeks ago there was speculation UNC wouldn't even be invited. I'm as guilty as anyone at underestimating Hubert Davis. When he was a skinny kid playing at UNC he had a silky smooth jumper and he always showed up to play, but he was never the player everyone talked about being the guy the other team had to stop. Some things never change. Underestimate Coach Davis at your own peril. I don't know how he does it, but he gets it done... always has.

So UNC dumped off Baylor AND Duke but chances are minimal against Kansas? Lol we shall see.

[auburnmann]

Molly Rocking the Carolina Blue!
Appreciate the support!

[itsmurrloagain]

they are forgetting that brady manik is the X factor because if he’s knocking down shots its opens up everything for UNC. its not coincidence that love when off when brady picked it up in the 2nd. his shooting opens the floor for caleb and rj.

[ThePeterglen]

SAS is way off here. I’m bias as a Carolina fan but I mean what about manek? He has one off shooting game and he forgets to even mention him lol. If manek or RJ go off then love doesn’t have too.

[franciscoguzman]

UNC is winning the title. They beat Kansas. They match up well with kansas and they’re due. Have lost the last 3 to kansas.

[ml.]

So weird how Stephen A is just ignoring Manek like that.

[georgefoley]

If we can beat Baylor, UCLA and Duke I think we can hang with Kansas but go ahead and count out UNC.

[jkeith]

what is stephen A talking about. UNC has 4 players that can give you 20+ points not just Love. Has he watched any UNC games lately lol

[DevinPosey]

Duke lost it’s a great day to celebrate everyone!

[aneeshanand]

Bacot will be healthy. He knows he won’t miss this game and he has no choice but to play. Bacot used most of the time off to heal that ankle and practice.

[morrellhouston]

Larry Bird is gonna make an appearance tonight YOU CAN BOOK IT!!!!

[raymalv]

Who cares what ESPN thinks. They’ve been doubting Carolina the whole year. Now look at us, playing in the championship game.

[renewd]

I was more impressed with Love's drives to the hoop than his outside shooting.
