Carolina will have to be nearly flawless to beat them.

Somehow the Duke-Carolina game actually lived up to the hype, which I didn't think was possible given how big the hype was. I hope you're right about it being a tight game. I'm emotionally preparing myself for UNC to be down 25 at halftime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point guard for UNC is my brother-in-law’s cousin, so c’mon the Tar Heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that starts to happen, Davis will switch Black over to guarding him and it'll be lights out, and someone else will have to step up. It's been a long time since I've seen a college-level defender that able to just completely take his man out of the offense, no matter the situation.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Tremendous game tonight. Obviously I'm disappointed but an absolutely heroic performance by UNC. Kansas fully deserved that title. Still, what if Bacot doesn't roll his ankle again in that last minute . . . ah, that way lies madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was great, I managed to avoid the score all day somehow, could've went either way and felt for the big guy at the end. Kansas just too strong overall. Its not for everyone especially on a football forum but march madness is one of my sporting highlights of the year. Now to Augusta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty of time to put it back together but Love and Davis have to start hitting 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A timeout gives them more time to talk. Commercial breaks happen after every touchdown and after every change in possession though. So a timeout is useful in the middle of a drive. Just noticed I hadn't thanked you for the explanation so consider this my expression of gratitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The most entertaining basketball tournament in the world is now underway. Furman has already upset Virginia, which looked like one of the best teams in the country for the first part of the year. Absolute choke in the last few seconds. UNC is, of course, the first team to start the season ranked #1 in the country and go on to miss the big dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I used to love playing basketball at high school in the 80s and also played for Dalkeith Colts (the junior team of the Dalkeith Saints) MIM were the team to beat in those days as they were funded by David Murray (or more likely RBS). There was a season in the 1980s when BBC didnt have a TV deal to show football and they should U.S. basketball instead. Tremendous viewing. Would love to go to see a live game again - are there any local teams or a national league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say "this can only be a good thing" but the tragic thing is that between three different NBA ownership groups that Charlotte has had for any length of time, Jordan has been the least terrible one. By comparison the first owner of the Panthers was a serial sexual harasser of his female employees but kept the product on the field in good shape. The current owner is just an ******* and chased off his best coaches and GMs in a fit of pique. It's entirely possible that the Hurricanes will win another Stanley Cup, meaning that North Carolina's only two major professional sports championships are in . . . . ice hockey?!?

Hurricanes are a machine but the East is absolutely stacked so the play offs are going to be crazy. Can't wait for that to start as Viaplay have every game every night.

Luckies1874 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Wow Purdue emptied by 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson!!! Only 2nd 16 seed ever to beat a No1. Held them scoreless for nearly 6 minutes in the 2nd half. So much for my prediction Purdue would beat Duke Never disappoints this championship.

As mentioned above, season was already disaster by the time the tournament started. However, in the time since then, Kansas is now out as well.
