Grover, This is the tournament.
Please this years Duke team beat IU by 20, and that Providence team wasn't any better than Purdue or Cal. Baylor and WVU would have wiped the floor with every team you played and the next two you will play. Hell Butler had more NBA talent than most of them.
y u so salty, mane

Syracuse is still bad and probably shouldn't have been in the tourney.
Truth is always low sodium tho. And you know its true. I've come to terms with it. You heel fans will do a lot of back slapping on how great this run is when at best your competition is that dude from Oklahoma. If you beat Villanova, then thats 1 good team out of 6 you beat. Cuse is trash, ND is nowhere as good as last year. IU has Tom Crean as their coach.
They might as well put a light blue bow on the trophy.
Truly, you reverse jinxing hard right now. Gotta be 100 wit ya, mad respect. Game respect game.
Sho' is.
Also, who has a larger forehead, Tom Crean or Sheldon Williams?
goddamn right. after the last 5 years of NCAA fuckery i expect Carolina fans to be absolute assholes to anyone within earshot if we win.
You mean Shelden Williams? Errybody know he's Worf's cousin.
Hey, that Creighton thing wasn't our fault.
Next six months are going to be so much fun for those of us who live in the Triangle.

NCAA to announce sanctions in the next few minutes and ban Carolina from this year's postseason. Believe.

Syracuse makes the Final Four a year after a self-imposed postseason ban for academic and extra benefits scandal. A true Hollywood story

You're joking but there's still a halfway decent shot that this season for UNC gets vacated in the end.
Shout out PackPride
There's nobody on the team that took any of those classes....so in reality, this is Huckleberry's chance at a legit championship.

God bless 'em and their delusions. At least they care unlike most of our fanbase.
Bentil and Dunn
Troy Williams and Yogi (you didnt say they had to be good starters in their case)
shit the only future starter we got is Brice.

Damn, those numbers are much better than I was expecting. 2-4 does looks pretty bad now. It's going to be a really interesting coaching landscape in 10 years when most of those guys are gone.
Eh, UNC is still a legit team this year. Pretty impressive run through the ACC season and tournament, except for a couple of head-scratchers like melting down against us (and almost twice). Give 'em some credit.

Homeless man's Dante Cunningham will not be a starter in the league, that's preposterous. And Yogi Ferrell will be playing for Zalgiris Kaunas in 3 years. Believe that.
People seem to forget that that Butler team made it to the championship game again, after they lost an all-star caliber player in Gordon Hayward. That team was legitimately great.
I agree, its been a very good UNC team since the 2nd Duke game. They bought in, everyone knows their roles, they can shoot the 3 and defend. They were always good enough to beat anyone in the tourney, I'll never say otherwise. But as its shaped up, they aren't going to be challenged by anyone until the title game, not talent for talent, best vs best anyway.
My point is that Duke 2010 was a really good team post Georgetown. They only lost one game since that one and that was an extremely competitive game vs Greivis Vasquez and UMD. People just see "lol Duke barely beat Butler for the title" and really didn't pay attention to the tourney as a whole. Butler was better than a lot of teams that year, was ranked in the top 25 and had a ridiculous win streak going into the dance. Everyone had their hopes pinned on John Wall and UK and when WVU bounced them (WVU was a 2 seed btw) everyone said it was a cakewalk. Duke didn't coast to any of those wins, and they probably had a better margin of victory last year.

Syracuse was an underdog to Wake Forest this year and they're in the Final Four.
protip: just say something like "don't matter. still won." it's like sex. as long as you aint paying or taking it nobody can really clown how you get there.

As a person who lives in Syracuse, goes to the University, & has followed the team all year, I need to say, this team does suck. Still in the Final Four though LOL

That's game.
We need that money for Gottfried's buyout.
Seriously tho, whats with all the transfers and kids leaving early that have no business leaving early (not talking about Cat). Gottfried can recruit, far better than Herb did, but he has trouble keeping players. I heard something like none of the players hes recruited to state have made it to their senior years?
He's fucking all of their girlfriends. That's the only answer. Otherwise he really is just that shit of a coach.

Heard this on PackPride
"Man, with all these transfers and guys leaving early we're just like Kentucky! Except the whole, being good at basketball part."
"Man, with all these transfers and guys leaving early we're just like Kentucky! Except the whole, being good at basketball part."
Hence the increased calls for his firing in the last week despite his decent performance thus far. For the record, we've had 10 transfers since Gott's arrival, including the transfer of the twins last week. A couple of those were understandable- one kid left because of family and a couple were Lowe's guys so didn't really fit. Some of them made no sense including Purvis and now the twins. Honestly, I think it goes back to Gott's second season where the team was ranked top 10 preseason and imploded thanks to poor chemistry (CJ Leslie was quite possibly the whiniest star we've ever had). I think Gott can talk the recruiting talk fairly well but can't deliver on the actual coaching part, especially when he's up against two HoFers in his backyard. The European guy that left actually said as much.
It hurts. PP does deliver on occasion.

Crawford has always been a high volume, low efficiency player.
If he becomes Crawford I think he would have somehow regressed quite tremendously in his shot selection and shot IQ which is frankly pretty elite right now.
I would say a better JJ Redick would be a more apt comparison but still not quite perfect. Hield is undersized for height but his wingspan at 8'8.5 puts him right in the middle of NBA SG's according to Nylon Calculus.
be careful, you might have to give your BCS/CFP payouts back to the schools that got you that money
