Honestly, I didn’t think we would have a very good chance against UConn if we got there, but I really hoped we’d get there to try.
That’s the way the ball bounces sometimes. Here’s hoping Hubert puts another good team together for next year.

I'm so done trying to predict games in tournament play. It’s unreal how bad I am at it.
I was doing pretty well in the pick-em thread, then the regular season ended and the tournaments began. Dropped like a stone.
UConn is beatable though if you look at some of their losses. They just have done what they were supposed to being dominant with favorable matchups via the overall No. 1 seed.
I feel like I should clarify that I am not in favor of anyone taking their own life. Only satire.
I've not seen so many missed layups since UK played.
RJ could come back if he wants to. Bacot is out. I have no idea where RJ’s head will be on giving jt another go.
Hell of game.
NC was red hot in the 1st half.
RJ just kept drawing fouls down the stretch and hitting every foul shot.
I still feel like NC could have feed the big man and won the game.
Holy shit…didn’t see that coming. I thought UNc would hurt Bama down low and throw in the fact that Bama was without one of their better players I didn’t figure they had a shot. This just goes to show you what can happen on a giving night. Davis picked a bad game to play like shit and I felt like Hubie pulled a Cal and let the game slip away from them when they had control. Congrats Bama!

What a weird 3 years Davis has had as coach. Make it to the natty, miss tournament as #1 pre-season, lose in S16 as #1 seed.
I agree. I think there were a few turning points in the second half, but the series that doomed UNC was when up one Withers took that stupid 3 and then proceeded to foul for an Alabama and-one right after.
Sorry, was out keeping Rubin’s tradition alive… out streaking.
Well that's that, it sucks when you lose but I have to give props to Alabama, they made the plays down the stretch and we didn't.
I agree. That was a bad shot. I did realize that he fouled directly after it.
It was a heck of a game. Either team could have won the way they were playing.
What percentage of the time does a team bank a 3-pointer and win the game? Because it honestly feels like it's more than 90%. When Schieffelin banked in that 3, I thought, "Whoa! Clemson's actually going to win this!" And they did...
It's nice that UNC has been eliminated. Now I can actively root against UConn. They were my fall back school that I felt semi-confident could knock UNC out of the tournament. Now, I give Illinois full permission to beat UConn.

Did anyone else find it weird that neither Elliot Cadeau or Seth Trimble played down the stretch? Hubert seemed to have difficulty on who he wanted the 5th guy on the court to be, but it wasn't those two. He rotated between Wojcik and Withers during the final 10 minutes or so. Don't understand that at all.
not often you get to witness a guy completely play his way out of the draft in one game.
A 5* that spends 9 years in college and still cant play the game.
Wonder if the ACC still runs through Mando.
I'll be rooting against your boys along with State and Clemson. Losing has turned me into a hater for the next week or so.

I can't be overly critical of Hubert at this point. In 3 years he's made 2 Sweet 16s and 1 National Title game; he also has an ACC championship, and he's 4-3 against Duke.
Just didn't understand the reasoning for benching their more reliable playmakers.
the real problem wiht that game was that bum Whithers taking the wide open 3 with a minute left in the game despite UNC having 4 much better players out there. There's a reason you're wide open numbnuts!
Love and Davis a combined 0-18 from 3 yesterday lol
Some of the things he's critisizing are not really fair. These plays happen extremely fast and every split decision can make you look great, or bad.
He criticized NC towards the end for lagging behind for a rebound and not getting back in time, well, 4 NC guys were standing in the paint and they stopped the ball handler. Sears reversed the ball and they hit a deep 3, nobody was stopping that.
But, for the most part, he was right on everything he disected.
We watched Edwards and DJ Wagner do that very thing game after game all year.
Yeah, but Alabama specializes in making bad decisions all game long. They are so loose with the ball.
NC should have gone down low to Bacot down the stretch, especially knowing RJ was struggling with his oitside shot and Bama was covering him with lengthy guys. But, hindsight is 20/20, even though I thought it was foolish in real time.
Yeah, it might not. I have first hand witnessed your "pick em" prowess and maybe your household first team isn't as strong as y'all's second team?
I just remembered Duke is still alive. Ugh.
F this tourney. Go Houston.
