NCAA Championship Open Thread

Sigh.

GamesTimeTV #1 Kentucky vs #2 Kansas9:23 PMCBS

So who should we as UNC fans root for here? Yeah, neither option is enticing.

On one hand you have Kansas and all the UNC ties which many Tar Heel fans will latch onto as a reason to pull for the Jayhawks.  A win by Kansas would [...]

NCAA Final Four Open Thread

GamesTimeTV #1 Kentucky vs #4 Louisville6:09 PMCBS #2 Ohio St. vs #2 Kansas8:49 PMCBS

Both games in the Final Four are regular season rematches. I don’t know the answer to this but I wonder when was the last time the Final Four had rematches in both games?

The first game offers a “hey it [...]

30 Years Ago Today in New Orleans

Michael Jordan became Michael Jordan, James Worthy lived up to his nickname and Dean Smith silenced his critics.

For a more in-depth look at the game, which was an epic meeting of great players and coaches, check out this piece from Michael Bohn via the McClatchey-Tribue News Service.

UNC vs. Kansas: Beyond the Box

Based on preseason expectations, Carolina’s season ended too soon.  Based on the reality of what really happened this season, they probably played longer than we would have had a right to expect.  The Heels went into a semi-road game against a top-5 opponent without their starting backcourt, their would-have-been 6th man (McDonald) and with Henson [...]

Zeller Named To Wooden, AP All-American Teams

UNC’s Tyler Zeller is one of ten players named to the John Wooden All-American team and also received a nod for the AP All-American second team.

NCAA: UNC-Kansas Game Thread

UNC decided at the morning shootaround Kendall Marshall would not play. Stillman White it is with hopefully big game from Harrison Barnes. If he wants a brand and a legacy, now is the time.

I am on record with my belief that this team should make it to the Final Four and at that point [...]

NCAA Elite Eight Open Thread

Three of four.

GameLocationRegionTVTime(EDT) #1 Kentucky vs #3 BaylorAtlanta, GASouthCBS2:20 PM

You might be wondering where the open thread was Friday night and yesterday. Mea culpa, I was so caught up in UNC’s game and then a string of family obligations on Saturday I neglected to post them.

At this point Kentucky has looked pretty [...]

UNC vs. Ohio: Beyond the Box

As crazy as this may seem, UNC in the Elite 8 is getting close to becoming a rite of spring.  The Heels have now made the Elite 8 in each of their last five Tournament appearances, and have been among the last 8 standing 6 out of the last 8 years.  It is a remarkable [...]
