OK, so it doesn't matter to me personally - I get TBS, but seriously - they're not showing the Final Four on CBS? TBS? Really?
If TBS (which I also get :thumbup: ) bid more isn't that on the broadcast networks for being too cheap?

It occurred to me that in the possibly unlikely event that the 'Canes get past Kansas, we'd have a Final Four to be happy about no matter who eventually wins. Sure, I'll root for UNC today, but if Cinderella keeps riding their pumpkin to the Final Four I couldn't be too upset about it.

If you were Roy Williams, you'd think it's pretty cool if UNC plays Kansas that you were the head of one or the other of those programs for 33 years.
'Canes!

Halfway there.

Edit: Opps, I jinxed them. Sorry.
Wow - 2nd half 10 to 46

UNC vs. Duke for the chance to go to the championship. Doesn't get much better. Bad thing is, whichever one wins will probably lose in the final, just by totally exhausting themselves.
Congrats, but y'all were mean to the peacocks.

I didn't watch. I saw a score in the highlights with no volume and applied some distracted math. How is it you say, Opps

To go easy on them would have been insulting. They're a fine team that had a great year. I love what their coach said after they beat Purdue "What they gonna say now?"

"Watch out for UNC" ?

Duke is still favored by 4, as is KS, despite:
UNC beating Duke in the regular season finale, by 13!;
Both losing to VT in the ACC Championship, Duke by more (15 vs 12);
UNC MM run beating #9, #1, #4 and #15, Duke beat #15, #7, #3, #4;
UNC's smallest margin was 7 (twice), Duke's was 5 vs TT;
UNC having 2 margins > 19, Duke's largest was 17.

Idk, I'm rooting for Coach K, but I might take UNC +4 if I was gambling.

As you well know, when those two teams go at it, the records, statistics, history, yada doesn't matter much. On any given day...

Yep, if I were setting the odds there would be no favorite.

First ever MM meetup, a new tradition begins.

Of course, it could also be a stomping on one or the other. Hope not.

Look at these two sidebars - dozens of NCAA Tournament Appearances, all of the later round appearances, and UNC's 6 NCAA Tournament Championships vs Duke's 5.

Even if the seeders were keeping them apart until the Final Four like this year, or later, it seems that random chance would have thrown them together a few times.

Too bad y'all aren't meeting in the Championship game. Still, this will be a game long remembered.
Here's hoping for double digit lead changes and a buzzer beating finale, or a couple of OTs.

Wedding day blues: Duke, Carolina fans getting married this weekend face incredible predicament

The first time she glanced at an NCAA men's tournament bracket earlier this month, Kelly Sullivan realized she overlooked one detail when choosing a wedding date.

“Hey,” she warned fiancé Zach Boehmer, “the Final Four is on the same day as our wedding.” ...

I would be a fine day to be anywhere around Chapel Hill today. I actually was there for the '82 championship. All the downtown streets, and much of the adjacent campus areas were absolutely jammed. A lot of rowdiness, no real destruction or violence. The next morning the street sweeping machines had piled up mountains of beer cans and other trash, probably including some students. Looked like the morning after Mardi Gras and still smelled like beer and pot.

I so do not care who wins Villanova/Kansas.

Someone tell me who to root for and why.
Go basketball? 🤪

From the start, Kansas is looking to kick some butt. But it's a longish game, who knows. I'll root for Villanova 'cause they're a Philly team and not an Oz team, and because I think UNC or Duke might do better with them than Kansas. Either way, to me, it's like an opening act, a bottom of the card match, a preview reel...

Yeah, but it's Pennsylvania....

Still not caring except for the Duke/NC factor, sounds like that might have to be good enough.

Pennsylvania is purple, Kansas is red. More RepuQs get disappointed if Villanova wins.
