Something else I was thinking earlier today. If Zion has come to UNC do you think there would even be a Zion cam? If Roy could stop it he would. And I know for sure he’d have shut the media up or pushed back on them giving one guy on his TEAM so much attention. Just different styles and programs. I prefer ours.

Not even Roy could stop Zion. He's right though, different styles and programs, I prefer the one that didn't cheat its ever-loving *** off for two decades to get ahead in every sport.

Okay, now they've overachieved, wasn't expecting much anyway, but just a week ago Duke wasn't going to get out of the Sweet 16, and UNC was headed to the FF. The winds shifted suddenly. Oh, and Duke is so lucky, damn I think UNC was lucky enough to play us without us ever having a full team, and the Auburn player (that was killing them got hurt), but they were so frickin' outplayed it didn't make any difference (in this game).

Yeah, they were. And I think you're right about Bilas, and some others. When they lose they suddenly are overachievers, LMFAO!

OFC
Bilas picked the Cheats over us in the Title game, he's looking real smart right now. If only Houston and Tennessee could've hung on in the final minute of their games I would've had a perfect Elite 8! Maybe I should get in to color commentary/ analysis.

Wasn't it just two days ago UNC was hands down th best team in the country? Even Bilas agreed.

I honestly thought they were the best team in America when you factor in Duke’s injuries and short bench. It’s amazing what happened when a fast team attacked them though....

@heeliciois

If Zion went to UNC he would average 12 minutes per game and there wouldn’t be a need for a Zion cam.

May need to send an SOS out for Gary. No stats and stuff, no quick stuff, no brief stuff, no stuff stuff. Maybe his head exploded last night watching his beloved heels and beloved Auburn.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT OUR BELOVED GARY!! WHO COULD EVER REPLACE HIM?!?!??!??!!!?!?!?!? No, seriously, who could? I don't think even UK fans wear their tinfoil hat as much as Gary.

Over at THR, there are quite a few classless (perhaps toothless?) losers, but #GoNtheDistance is perhaps the worst. The garbage he spews is just wonderfully laughable to read. Hope they enjoy the rest of the tourney :) They can hate on Zion and R.J. all they want, they would have killed to have them on UNCheats team this year. They would at least have made it to the Elite 8 lol.

I heard he drove over to the NCAA headquarters to dispute the final score. Something about blown assists by Auburn not being taken into account in regards to the box score and being the reason UNC lost so bad.

Right back at you. We went farther considering what we had than you did considering what you had.

Really stupid, even for you. There isn't any "considering" when it comes to the tournament. You went where you went.

I think the realization needs to be over past 10 years is that freshmen talent doesn’t guarantee anything. Unc can brag they did more with less (and maybe they did this year, but they did have seniors) but less with more has been their MO since the dean era.

Really? Roy has 3 natty's, 5 FF's, 9 ACC titles in 16 seasons.

I don't usually like being that UNC fan that comes on a Duke board to defend Roy but saying he's done "less" in any capacity is just factually incorrect.

Both teams were one seeds. UNC was full of upperclassmen with tournament experience. I’d say their S16 exit is more disappointing.

I think in this argument, the media screwed you guys by hyping the team up to absolute death. SI covers, front page on ESPN.com nearly every day, Zion Cams, etc. etc.

I think both teams thought they could win a title so for a fan base it's even, but for public perception, I think most would say Duke was the bigger disappointment.

I don't think the media screwed us. Zion was worth the hype.

I agree about the latter point....Duke losing before the Final Four was more of a disappointment nationally than UNC. Duke, whether fair or not, was handed some invincibility by the national media. On the surface, anything short of Minneapolis, to a broad audience, carries with it disappointment.

Yeah I actually agree with you. Any coach that can get Luke Maye to what he is now deserves props

And it is factually incorrect to say the same for k. The last 5 years k has had more talent than normal but The roster turnover isn’t easy to deal with.

And I actually think Roy has done more with less the past two seasons. But he has had plenty of seasons at unc that what he had on paper should have resulted in more.

But is turnover easier when they were only there for a year as opposed to guys who you've built a team around for 3-4 seasons? It's an interesting argument and no doubt both teams wanted more out of the last 2 seasons.

Gonna agree to disagree here, it's your board so I'm gonna clog it up with defending UNC just as I don't like when Duke fans do that on ours.

I got and still get SO much crap on our board because I told anyone who would listen after his freshman year how much I thought he would suck for 4 seasons.

Gotta give him props for being a scrappy gym rat that always hustles and acts like a coach on the floor.

I would say that Luke May was the least talented but still most overachieving excellent player in the whole US and I mean that in a sincere way. He's a baller.

The real reason he didnt go to UNC was grades... worst kept secret ever coach actually had to sit him and his mom down in his office to deliver the bad news... Durant's mom was po'ed at Durant for not staying on his school work. Durant broke down and cried appn receiving the news this is the real story
- @truetarheelraider0806
Bahahaha right and then followed up by @soap - new and improved

“Definitely what I have heard. I was also told that several guys who wanted to play for UNC went to other ACC Teams (and out of conference teams too) because of the same reason - couldn't pass UNC Admissions.”


Yeah buddy!

This is seriously insane, even THR. No way they actually believe this stuff, right?
