This. We all over the court celebrating (as we should’ve been) dook players going into the locker isn’t that big of a deal IMO. Good on Moore for sticking around though.

So, yes. In their defense, they shook hands with our coaches but our guys were celebrating. By the time we stopped and went to the handshake line the players were tired of waiting and left.
i retweeted that earlier today with the new twitter approved #goheels hash.
2nd most viewed college bball game in the cable era. I don’t know what the first is. Any guesses?
Not sure, but I wonder what the number would have been if it was on CBS instead of cable.
That's great. There's an avengers one out there somewhere with Hubert as iron man and k as Thanos. It's pretty good. I'll have to see if I can find it.
Dang hate to see bilas go total homer on greenie this morning. I’ve always liked him despite being a dookie. First off he sounded totally despondent and broken, and that’s okay, but then he said there were “a ton of games” bigger than unc/dook sat night and that no one will remember it should unc lose tonight. Meanwhile greenie said we might never see a better game in our lifetime given the context.
I love Bilas, so I think I can give him a pass on this one. I think all of us would feel the same way if we had lost.
I didn't see what Bilas said, but I'm going to give him a pass regardless. He's normally incredibly good and neutral about it all. This moment had to be huge for him and virtually anyone else who played for the Dark Lord. Any stupidity that gets uttered by anyone dook related is far outweighed by the joy I feel all the way down to my bones.
The final “eff you” to Kay? We win the title and that gives unc 6 compared to 5 for dook during Kay’s tenure. Make it so.
I heard someone compare it to the Miracle on Ice. Years later, everyone thinks the US beat USSR for the gold, when it was actually the semifinals. "No one" remembers that it was US/Finland for the gold. It won't be forgotten.
I didn't see the interview with Bilas but I don't even think he likes K that much. He loves some Roy, Dean and Hubert. He's another that wishes he had chosen differently.
I am a big fan and student of the.miracle on ice and was drawing parallels to my son this morning
Mark Packer just said a win tonight would be #2323 in UNC basketball history. An omen???
Remember when Laettner hit "the shot" to win the
that will give us eight. We now already have six NCAA championships and one pre-NCAA championship from a year I can't immediately recall.
Here are the NCAA ones...'57, 82, 93. 2005, 2009, and 2017. I'll try to find the original.
ETA; NEVER MIND, I see you stipulated 'in K's tenure'. I'm an idiot.
Yep the shot by Luke is remembered much more often. This win will long be talked about in Caroline lore….
this will always be clear as a bell in my memory, but here's another spectacular but less impactful play against Kentucky that I'll never forget that just blew me away. Remember David Noel?
for me, as much as carter’s missed dunk vs dook was a powerful statement in a moment, this dunk going in sent a statement to the country about who was back.
thank you for poasting…#goheels
I’m shocked there had never been a 15 pt comeback in a title game. It’s not that uncommon in games in general. But really for this team to come from where it was 7 weeks ago to beat dook twice and lose by 3 to a top rated team of nba talent is pretty damn impressive. Exceeded all expectations. Fukin warriors.
I was also shocked that no one had come back from more than that. 15 points is not a lot, those kinds of leads get blown every other night during the regular season. Kansas is awesome and can score 10 points in a minute - them coming back wasn't really all that surprising.
Hell of a season - one I will remember very fondly. I think in 5 years we'll remember this one for our Final Four win over Duke that ended K's career.
if self ever gets his just rewards, that win will be vacated. 😆
Not sure it will happen, lots of money behind him, but he's very deserving if it happens.
Just couldn't get it through the basket in the second half. Great tournament run for this team. Between that and ****ing K over twice, it was definitely more than I expected for this season. Hope Hubert can keep this up once he gets his players in place.
Love cranking that ankle randomly was the straw. Aside for Puff's heroics everyone already looked gassed, and up until that point in the second half Love was the only heel to score. Our "create your own shot" guy was suddenly hesitant, slow and less explosive, but still forced to create.
