Kansas v UNC Championship Game Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

so far (6:00 min left in the 1st half), it's been a very competitive, and very entertaining, game.

As I'm out of the running in all of my pools, I'm mostly rooting for a good game, and so far that has been the case.

That Lightfoot guy is killing Kansas. He needs stapled to the bench because UNC is just blowing him up.

 

[BobPSU92]

ku will win. unc won’t have an answer for McCormack.

I could be right, but I choose not to.

and I no sooner post the above, and UNC goes on a big run, and opens the first large lead since the start of the game. 36-22, UNC, with 2:40 left in the half

I’m pulling for UNC too Glov. I like Duke and UNC, but Duke is out so GO UNC!

Thank you!

Kansas could not hit water if they fell out of a boat. As bad as they have been, imagine if UNC (37% FG) had shot it a little better.

The money line on Kansas dropped all the way to -215 at Sands Bethlehem. Lots of money pouring in - and right into the toilet. I would never bet -215; there is just no risk-reward there.

40-25, UNC at the half. I believe it was 22-22 with 6 minutes left in the half, and then UNC just took over the game.

Sir Charles is really taking Bill Self to task in the halftime show.

Unc trying to bleed clock early and it's causing turnovers and poor shots. Feed Bacot. Try to score.

Lead down to 6.

KU making a run. Amazing what playing a little D can do.

 

[BobPSU92]

ku is back. 46-45, unc.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

All Kansas to start the 2nd half. 46-45, Kansas. Quite a turn around for them

 

[Nohow]

KU losing it on ft line, outscored 14-5.

 

[VaDave4PSU]

We now have a game.

46-45 and dwindling.

 

[PSUJam]

Lots of players in foul trouble is going to turn into a rough game. Refs aren't going to want to foul these kids out with 10 minutes left in the half.

 

[BW Lion]

First time I’ve seen Bill Self post-Covid. He doesn’t look like his old Self.

And just like that Kansas ***** with you yet again.

Kansas is winning. Why are you so absent?

 

[Nohow]

KU leads in steals 6-1.

 

[Nohow]

NC leads in rbs 48-39, orbs 18-11.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

68-67, Kansas with 2 min left in the game.

Now 69-68, UNC, with 1:41 left.

 

[PSUJam]

And just like that Kansas ***** with you yet again.

 

[VaDave4PSU]

To. The. Wire!

 

[BobPSU92]

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

Oh man. Last possession by Carolina was AWFUL. You gotta extend the game there, not pop 33-footers. Just BAD.

 

[Nohow]

Choke job both teams and refs.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final: 72-69, Kansas

 

[BobPSU92]

unc is turrible.

 

[BW Lion]

It’s just another Manek Monday. ‍

what did the refs do that you didn't like?

 

[TheGlovStillRules]

Congratulations to the Kansas Jay Hawks!

They are true NCAA men's Basketball Champions!!

Hold your heads-up Tar Heel players and fans. It was a great ride!!

 

[Nohow]

Don’t know how KU won.
NC led in FTs 18-8 and RBs 55-40.

 

[Nohow]

I think they didn’t take enough time off clock at end?

I've been here!

You are a ******* genius. A ******* genius.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

hard to say whether that was incorrect or not. They have access to videos that aren't shown on replay. Since they took the time (as required) to go through the review process, and determine when the KU player stepped on the line, I'll defer to them.
