Roy's team always got better throughout the year. This years team my be going the wrong way.
That’s what truly concerns me. I’m willing to give Hubert more time but we can’t have a repeat of this year. Too much talent on the roster.
Beat duke and win at least two in the ACC tournament. That would get us into the last four in, I think.
I think beat Duke and win 1. If we win 2 I think that keeps us out of a play in
This is what I was thinking, truth be told we get a little more benefit on the doubt they want us in the tournament!
I think so Unc is royalty in terms of college basketball, no different than the cowboys not being in the NFL playoffs. I think they feel the same for Duke, Kentucky and Kansas.
Yeah UNC will definitely get the benefit if it’s very close between us and someone smaller.
Brand recognition gets more views and they'll love the "can they do it again" storyline.
It always sucks to get swept by these days, especially in a year where we were supposed to be far better.
Let's get the W.
Let's get the W.
I keep seeing a lot of the opposite. I see a lot of "UNC doesn't deserve it"...and, as hard as it is to admit it...they don't. This team has been so underwhelming that it's kind of embarrassing.
If they win tonight and manage to get to the semifinals of the tournament, I guess that's earning a spot. But, this team has been a huge letdown, imo.
That’s just fans and media talking heads saying that. I promise you the NCAA will do what they can to get UNC in.
I guess so. Still doesn't change the fact that this team has played so poorly that it's even an issue.
Yep, and the media gets the story of "will they won't they." That's worth more clicks.
I still think Finals of the ACCT gets us in but I have absolutely zero faith that we can get there.
I'm so over it at this point, noting more frustrating than a team that doesn't improve over the course of a year.
One thing is crystal clear. Last years late season/tourney run is definitely the most improbable run of any unc team and might be the most improbable tourney run of any team in its history.
I took about 10 games off this year in the middle of the season. Said I was done. But my kids pulled me back in over the last few games and we were looking ever so slightly better. So I was excited to watch the duke game thinking we were just kidding for most of the season and we were going to turn it on and beat the shit out of them before we start our annual run under Hubert. Lol.
I have never wanted a season to be over so badly. I don't have much hope for next year either but at least that's several months off and I can hopefully find another winter hobby to occupy my time between now and then.
Moo's 1983 championship run was certainly more impressive.
Little off topic but interesting
Pete maravich’s ncaa scoring record is 3667 pts scored in 83 games
If you took the 83 highest scoring performances over the last 3 seasons you get 3464 pts.

What a weird situation that was. Of the 3 years he played varsity, they only had a winning record 2 of those years and didn't make the tournament any of the 3 years. It's mindboggling that the rest of the team would have been that bad. So I think that has to be part of the legacy. He also never shot anywhere close to 50% for a season (.438 for career). He apparently had some Caleb Love in him. So it does make you think, was his dad's game plan just give Pete the ball so he can go set a bunch of records, team success be damned?
But the numbers are absurd. Dale Brown supposedly charted every shot Maravich ever made and claimed that had the 3 point line been in existence, his career average would have been 57 per game.
Yes. I think his Dad even admitted as such. How did they even get 1 kid to play for them after they watched Pete’s sophomore season?
That’s not possible. He averaged 44 on 16.5 FG per game. In order for 57 a game that means 12-13 of his 16.5 FGs would have had to have been from 3. I’ve seen video, he scored a ton in the lane with little pull up jumpers. I’d guess around 5-6 of his FGs were 3s, so about 50ppg. Which is still insanity, I agree.But the numbers are absurd. Dale Brown supposedly charted every shot Maravich ever made and claimed that had the 3 point line been in existence, his career average would have been 57 per game.
he took (on average) 38 shots per game ... THIRTY EIGHT.What a weird situation that was.

Caleb says “hold my beer”.
boeheim is such a turd…have some grace why don’t you.
Holy crap have y'all seen the court at TCU? Wtf
That's definitely a bad one. Here are some other pretty awful courts:
Cal State Bakersfield:
Oregon:
FIU:
You can get flashbacks from those courtsThat's definitely a bad one. Here are some other pretty awful courts:
Cal State Bakersfield:
Oregon:
FIU:
Those are nothing compared to the ugliest of them all (just be glad I used a shot that didn't include the stands being occupied):
I actually like the concept of the Oregon court. It's just not good execution.That's definitely a bad one. Here are some other pretty awful courts:

I hate it. It looks like that part of the court is worn or had water damage and the rest of the court isn’t. Terrible design.
