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. 

Bill Self made a really good adjustment at half that changed the game.  He had every defender get right up on the Carolina players and crowd their space.  That bothered Carolina’s flow big time.  Our reaction was to take bad shots and then Kansas got out on the break and that turned the whole game.

With Love hobbled that was pretty much that

the ride was so much fun. ask any tarheel fan what was more enjoyable, this year or last.

Literally the only stress involved was having to face duke in the Final Four. Other than that it was straight house money. I've never been able to enjoy a run like that with zero expectations. Every other UNC Final Four run has been fully expected and anything less than a championship was going to be a massive letdown. Basically, like our 2015 SB run. That poo is stressful. This tourney run was just flat out fun and it's precisely because it was so completely unexpected.

exactly, and taking a step back since I started following (doh's first year) we are 8-3 at the final four since roy took over with a 5-1 record in the semis and 3-2 record in the finals. Not bad at all. only thing that hurts is being 6 points from 10-1 and 5-0 in the ship. You cant have it all.

Now I'm hoping for a repeat of '17 next year. Team came up just short in the championship game the prior season and used that to fuel a championship run determined to cut down the final nets this time.

I believe taking a 2 game sample of a rivalry is a bad take.  Carolina beat Duke and Coach K in the last two games, which happened to be K's last games against Carolina so congratulations. 

What doesn't change is the fact that K has 5 National Championships of his own, I believe Carolina has 3 coaches who won National Championships.  I also believe that the all time record for K vs. Carolina is 50-50.

Carolina had a great year and vastly improved over the course of it.  I think Hubert is going to be a good coach.  At the end of each season there is only one champion so congrats for the runner up finish and the wins that meant so much, but never forget:

Imagine being tone-deaf enough to attempt to talk poo as a duke fan right now. 😂

yeah really just depends on what love/bacot do, if they both leave we might be very young next season outside of RJ and hopefully leaky.

Yeah I've seen exactly two Duke fans trying to talk trash. The rest of them know we owned them this year and may be the reason that egotistical coach of theirs comes back another year 

Bruh. UNC ended the Rivalry argument in just two games. UNC beat Duke in the Final Four. In the only NCAA Tournament game between the two ever. UNC beat Dukes saving grace at home in his last game at Cameron. Woof. Two talking points Duke fans won't have much to counter with. Unless that Duke fan is a dumb ass. Which there are many of.

Yeah, it's the ultimate trump card. No matter what Duke fans say, the response is "but we beat you in the only final four game"
