Very proud of these Tar Heels!! Their first possession in the second half you could tell that they were going to work clock and take good shots. But,it never works out to take foot off gas. Kansas was deeper and stronger. It might have hurt less getting blown out. BUT, it was a GREAT EFFORT!!

Yeah, the Heels have never played well when they go into "protect the lead" mode but I think Hubert knew his guys were running out of gas. I still think we would've been better off keeping the foot on the gas until the foot fell off but it's easy to say you should've done something different in hindsight. I'm proud of the way the team kept fighting like hell and didn't fold when KU came back. We couldn't hit water from a boat but the heart and effort never lacked.

Yeah Love was definitely not having a good night

They wouldn’t have gotten to the Final if he hadn’t gotten on a heater and I know was disappointed in his play last night…

…but damn Hubie needs to coach him up on body language — his behavior in the post-game presser was awful and disrespectful to the UNC-CH brand 🤦‍♂️

Maybe he should just do like Tepper and hide in the basement when things don't go well.

It's real tough today. Putting one foot in front of the other. BUT, there are just to many things to be proud of. My man Manek took one hell of a shot. Looked like he got hit by Mike Tyson and got up and just played his heart out. Others played thru injuries too! We are still making tough kids.

So is it better to get tossed out of the tournament early or go to the finals and give up the largest lead ever and lose a close one?

Finals. Every time. If you're asking which is easier to swallow, it's being bounced early. But give me a finals appearance every time.

Miss out on the opportunity to end K's career with a Final Four loss? Yeah man, you just don't get it.

As much as it sucked losing those two Super Bowls I sure as hell enjoyed those seasons a lot more than floundering around with five win poo show seasons under Rhule. It's fun to compete. Even when you come up short. It just plain sucks to suck.

Was a fun game. But disappointing. Don’t know why they were rushing down the court those final seconds. They didn’t need to do all those desperation shots they had enough time for a quick reset. 

I don't know, man. The way we had been shooting we needed all the cracks at it we could get. 😂

This is just false from so many perspectives and I despise Duke with a passion.

It's easily the best place to watch a CBB game in the entire country. I've been to over 20 games there and it never gets old. Including the UNC vs Duke game this year. Plus, the Zion Williamson shoe game. UNC's arena is atrocious now. It never sells out unless it's Duke and it's too, damn, big. Old Carmichael was better than that. Duke remodeled around the arena completely by the way. Including the football stadium. I know you guys hate them, but you gotta stop lying. 

He meant the arena is a dump. And it is. The atmosphere? That's what's amazing. But come on, they but the broadcast team in the rafters, the fans are basically on the court, and I've seen church sanctuarys in rural Mississippi that look nicer than Cameron. But yes, you can't beat what the student section gives.

      Bryce might be my least favorite football player of all time

      By frankw · Posted

      I understand where OP is coming from in general. Personally I don't have anything against Bryce the person. By all accounts he's a great guy. As an NFL QB and as the face of the franchise however I must acknowledge he is enough to make someone stop watching football altogether. If we had transitioned directly to him from Cam and Kyle Allen instead of Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold PJ Walker Baker Mayfield etc I would probably feel more apathy toward the situation but I've been through the ringer already so this is whatever. I will say as nice of a kid as he is his personality is unbelievably milquetoast and it's hard to ignore even when he plays well and wins it just feels like your QB is Steve Urkel and you're always left waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

      Not only Bryce... The "all star" coaching staff approach was pushed on Reich because Tepper saw the initial success Brian Daboll was having. That's how we ended up with Thomas Brown (among others) rather than the staff Reich would hav chosen himself. When it comes to football, Tepper is one of those guys who sees someone else having success and says "hey, let's copy that" rather than getting people who have their own ideas. Not just unoriginal, but also stupid 😡 As to Bryce, Fitterer admitted he'd locked in on Bryce the year before and wasn't budging. Pretty much everyone believes Reich wanted Stroud, but why would you expect him to get his choice of quarterback when he didn't even get his choice of assistant coaches? Add in that besides Tepper using assistants as basically corporate spies, Fitterer threw Reich under the bus when Bryce wasn't an overnight sensation. Basically, Reich never had a shot. Now Fitterer is gone, the all star staff is mostly gone, the Giants are a sh-t show and Reich is experiencing a career resurrection at Stanford. And us? Well, we're still here hoping for a miracle 😕

      Speaking of guys that need to return to school, John Mateer. He has really nuked his stock during SEC play.
