Caleb love blew it for UNC

truth

Also that one guy who kept rolling his ankles. He probably shouldn't have enrolled in UNC's fake academics university. Now he has no education and no athletic future.

You mean Armando Bacot? The only player in history that ever had a double double in every NCAA Tournament game that he played in and will more than likely be a first round pick? Yeah, ok, got it…

NBA scouts have labeled him 'Achilles' Bacot after the last two games.

You're routing UNC who built 200 sham courses so basketball players could pretend they're smart enough to go to college?

The guy hit one big shot in the semis and decided to hero ball his team into giving up a 15 pt lead.

UNC classes folks...

They then proceeded to throw their actual students, and entire academic reputation under the bus to save the basketball program.

"Normal students could take the classes too, these class were with in line with UNC's academic standards, our academic rigor is so low that these classes are the norm on campus, ergo, we did nothing wrong"

Nevertheless I'd rather my kids go to UNC.

Hopefully you take out some good insurance policies on them

I remember when Rasheed Wallace took the SATs at least three times so he could break 700. It’s always been a joke

Big 12 athletes just go the JuCo route.

UNC blew it for UNC. Great to see after how their fan base treated that Duke coach.

They lead 40-25 at halftime. Losing that game was an utter embarrassment.

Come on, eceryone know US News rankings are a joke. At least use the more respected QS, THE, or ARWU.

Yeah it seems hard to pin it all on one guy but as I was watching that second half this definitely was the feeling I got. The guard play from Carolina was awful, but especially from Love

Sure Kansas made some nice adjustments at the half but NC really did an entire 180 on what made them successful which was running their offense through Manek. I think that early 8-0 run in the second completely rattled them and at this point I think Caleb Love felt like he needed to and could do exactly what he did in the Duke game which was take 75% of the shots in the second half and single-handedly win the game for them.

But kids will do this - I thought Hubie Davis was terrible that second half, he looked like a total deer in the headlights with no clue of what to do. When he saw this trend developing he should have taken time, pulled the team together and specifically Love and changed the course of what was happening.

The end result? Love shoots 5-24 from the field including 1-8 from 3. Combined, he and RJ Davis went 10-41 while their best player Brady Manek took only 8 shots and made 4 of them. The cherry-on-the-sundae moment for Love which summed up the entire second half was the completely unnecessary hero-ball, Dame Lillard'esque 3 from 40 feet with 6 seconds remaining which was completely dumbfounding - again though I put that on the shoulders of Hubie Davis who these kids rely on to be the calming influence but given his emotional rollercoaster in-game interviews, not surprisingly wasn't.

Every August at CU one or two JuCo dudes would show up, run at NCAA's, then drop out of school.

I like your analysis. Hubert Davis is a rookie coach and Bill Self is a hall of famer. I noticed in a few huddles that the team was listening to the assistant (jeff Lebo?) who was designing plays on his clipboard. Hubert Davis has those kids believing, he'll be back. It would be smart for most of those Carolina kids to return.

He was unbelievably good the 2 games before that. He would not let his team lose. I cannot criticize him for the last game. Kansas face guarded him and set up their defense to stop him. He had a great tournament and should not be criticized.
