I hope Bacot's ankle responds well. It's gonna be sore tomorrow for sure. Tape the hell outta that thing on Monday and let's go.

This will be the least stressful championship game for UNC fans in the teams history.

Yep. Fandom aside I think Kansas wins Monday but holy poo the last month of Carolina basketball has been insane. What a way to send Coach Krybaby out.

I think I'm still in shock. I told buddies going into this tournament that this team can beat anyone but they can also lose to anyone. I could see a run to the Elite 8 or I could see a 1st round 20 point loss. That's what has made this so absolutely stress free for me prior to running into duke. I had no expectations. Just enjoying every game for that moment. I never in my wildest dreams saw this team in the Final Four much less the championship game. I've never seen a team snap their fingers and wake up and turn it on like this.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but given how the tourney has played out this year the ACC was obviously criminally underrated and that led to the ACC teams being under-seeded.

Did they all shake Huberts hand this time?

K did. No one else.

Yep. K went and shook Hubert's hand at half court. The rest of his staff and his team RAN for the lockers.

I'm just so happy UNC handed Duke it's most embarrassing season ever and that Duke didn't surpass UNC in number of championships during K's tenure. Would just be cherry on top for UNC to win and end up having more.

I thought it was so tacky (but yet so completely fitting) that Coach K had to announce his retirement a year in advance so he could have a yearlong farewell tour. Absolutely no better way for that farewell tour to go than for him to lose his final home game and final regular season to UNC absolutely ruining his curtain call. Then for UNC and duke to have their first NCAA tourney match up in the Final Four and UNC sending his ass packing into retirement. The ONLY way for it to have been better is if tonight had been for all the marbles.

This was a epic battle. This was the show I expected. This is why its the best rivalry in sports and boy did we show the world why it is tonight. But for the Heels to come out on top. GDTBATH. But also this is the end of a era that is as old as me but this game may have ignited this rivalry more because duke will never let this go. But Coach K has been a great coach.

The homer in me says we win, but the ride has already been worth admission this season is already a massive success  regardless of Monday's  outcome.

This will probably be the only time that UNC could get beat by 30 by Kansas on Monday and the fans won't give a poo LOL
