Just click on it and listen.

Apologies now for the "F" bomb but blame it on Will Smith!

Might just be the post of the year/decade.

Yes it will be a big deal. I have sprained many ankles over the years. It will be sore. Question will be will he be able to put weight on it and play on it by Monday night.

He was obviously limping at the press conference. Let's hope youth prevails and he is strong enough to go against the Kansas bigs wich are formidable.

In the post-game... Bacot said "I feel amazing; I feel great - better than ever". 😎👍

Yes, he avoided the question.. but, not making excuses either. A team full of WINNERS!

I loved that answer. Mando is a freaking warrior! We will have to see how he feels in the morning after all the adrenaline falls off. 🙏

I gotta say, there were a few huge plays in this game that might go unnoticed for the most part. This one box out by Puff Johnson on Banchero after Mando had fouled out was one of the most important contributions in the game. Puff was obviously overmatched physically but giving his all on this box out, just enough to keep Banchero from grabbing the offensive board. If Puff would have given even 1% less effort on this play, Banchero could have come up with that ball and gotten an easy bucket to tie the game with under 10 seconds left.

Puff also had a big steal that led to points and knocked down 2 huge free throws while Mando was out of the game for the ankle. Way to go Puff!!!

We kinda got lucky that rebound went to the left also because if it doesn't and goes to the right, Paolo has it.

Supposedly Sheyer and Pat Sullivan got in a verbal argument after the game and had to be separated. Get used to it, crybaby.

Is there more on this report? Makes sense that sheyer would make a face and act foolish

More evidence that the coaching over the course of the season is effective and yielding results. Coach Davis have these young men ready to compete! Feels damn fine to wake up with coffee and a smile this Sunday morning! ☕😊

Anyone know if that dook plane made it back to Durham safely lol. Hope so.

Duke says they lost because of the refs and that foul on roach wasn't a foul. Watch the replay crybabies, he hit his right elbow as he was shooting. Clear as day.

With something like 7 minutes to go in the game, the Heels had been called for 9 fouls and the dookies for 2. Watching them blame the refs for not being able to hit FT's or 3's is laughable. They choked with help from a smothering defensive effort.

No, that’s his normal face. Probably just was misinterpreted.

I hope someone recorded Jones's and Eric's postgame interview with Leaky. It was golden. Leaky was so excited and cussed on air, had to apologize, still couldn't contain his excitement after that either.

 

[sctarheel30]

A few good things about the win. One we get to play for a natty (who would’ve thought). Second it guarantees that dook doesn’t get the chance to win a natty. Third it sends K into retirement two days early. Finally it ruins their (mainly his) season.

This just in:

Banchero does NOT foul!

He got his first foul call against him around the 6-minute mark, of the second half, with another just 30 seconds later.
