Amazing start by Kansas. I love it.

Notice that Snood hasn't posted yet? I bet he's freaking out right now.

Sorry snood if I bring some bad mojo but I'm definitely rooting for KU.

"This game..is ova" - Billy Packer with 7:32 left

 

First off, this lead is not insurmountable by any means, especially with this much time left, and secondovely, what kind of announcer says that with almost 28 minutes left to go?

38-12 Jayhawks? Are you kidding me? :scratch:

The kind who a network has built into a demigod, but the rest of the world realizes isn't all that great.

Didn't Duke come back from a 20 point deficit in the national semifinals against Maryland in 2000 or 2001 - whichever year they won the title?

apparently every time a UNC player shoots a three and misses, billy fudge packer is going to tell us that it was a bad shot because the guy is trying to tie the game with one shot. what a miserable old piece of crap.

[snoodmonger]

give me an effing break with the cheap fouls.

 

Packer was an idiot for saying that, especially since this KU team has let teams back in games all season long.

[Guest]

I think Kansas has been called for as many charges as UNC has points.

[Butterscup1679666578]

So...Kansas and Memphis? Excuse me while I go blow my brains out.

From 40-12 to 40-22. UNC can still make a game of it IMO.

[Guest]

KU closing the half poorly.

 

ETA: Except for that.

[imb]

And just like that, it's back to a 17 point game.

 

It'll be a six or seven point game by the ten minute mark of the second half, just wait.

[TruffleShuffle]

just once i would like to hear billy packer say "bad decision" or "poor shot" while a ball is in the air. he is the king of second guessing. arthur's last shot was a perfect example; guy shoots a wide open jumper, puts it off the heel, and after the miss billy says "why?" because there was nobody within 10 feet of him, you miserable old prick.

There's no question in my mind. A 17 point lead is not insurmountable, especially given how tired KU looks and how the refs are calling the game.

Yeah, but that's not really his range. If it were Jackson, maybe you live with that shot. But Arthur hasn't consistently shown the ability to make that shot.

[chuckywang]

Man, from 28 to 17 and UNC has all the momentum. Hold on Kansas!!!

Agree with this. UNC is a second half team.

I'm worried about this, too. KU came out loose with no pressure. Now UNC has nothing to lose. KU has to play smart and keep feeding Arthur. We also have to hope the refs will even out a bit.

[OleMissCub]

True. It's not quite as bad as a Duke game, but I get your point.

Like I needed more reasons to root for UNC.

[SouthSideRyan]

And yeah, UNC is getting the calls.

Billy spends half his time talking about games he and Jim did together. Just for comparison's sake, I was watching the 1993 Michigan/UNC final on ESPN Classic a couple weeks ago and Billy was also spending half his time about games he had done previously.
