Pennsylvania is purple, Kansas is red. More RepuQs get disappointed if Villanova wins.
Better.
Maybe too late, thanks a lot. :ateeth:

Edit: Oh wait, maybe you helped them turn the corner.

I may get my wish. 6 - 10 lead changes and 2 OTs

I'm counting 6 with over 11 left in the 1st half.

Larry from the prairie?

The comparisons to Bird have led to Manek earning the nickname "Larry from the Prairie." Manek's high school coach Chad Rochelle said Manek “got a kick out of" being compared to Bird.

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.
:-|| That was WAR!

Thanks for the memories, K.

GO Cinderella > Dorothy!

Great game all around. Glad to win, but I'd like to have seen Coach K go out with another ring.
Turns out, UNC beat him in his first game and in his last.

He finishes 50-48 vs UNC, but this was the biggest one.

No votes: Sister Jean's Ramblers, MD, Miami, UNC, OR, WA
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings
So on Feb 24, UNC got zero votes for top 25. 5ish weeks later they're playing for the championship.

Somebody might want to have a discussion with the ranking voters, the seeders, and how good is this NET thing.

I may have been mistaken.
But then, I'm just a casual alum fan as UNC alum go, and don't follow all the stats closely and factor in the length of Brady Manek's beard. I just saw a team losing a bunch they should have won or getting stomped when it should have at least been close. One might expect better from "experts."

Leaving aside the teasing, I think you me and the "experts" had accurate perceptions - a fucked up team that was not living up to its potential or tradition. We weren't wrong. Instead, it's UNC that has engineered a miracle turnaround, beginning with the regular season finale defeat of Duke on Mar 5 or perhaps a couple of games earlier.

Here are the week by week UNC rankings:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%8 ... m#Rankings
Only 3 weeks with any ranking at all and 9 mid to late season weeks with zero AP votes. Sure, some folks can be wrong, but everyone?
