That ONE loss you will NEVER get over

Is that the best you can do? And about the cheating comment, Dennis Smith says hello. You guys haven't been relevant since 1983 so tell me this, when are you guys gonna make this rivalry competitive?
You'll never hear Dennis Smith on ESPN talking about how he was forced to major in fake no show classes.
You believing McCants says a lot about you so keep reaching. Smith got paid major loot to go there and your team was still trash. Looks like you guys suck at cheating too, can't win for nothing huh?
You're not fooling anybody. Of course I believe Rashad. Why would he make that up? Why would this UNC official? You sir are delusional.
You posting old videos shows you don't have nothing to stand on. BTW what was the NCAA ruling again?
Gawd, I wish you’d won that game.
Would’ve been a FF and probably another N.C. for Bill.
Arizona in 97 with best team in KU history. Syracuse with Eminem hitting twelve first half threes against us in '03. Rhode island in 98 stung cause you just knew it was Pierce's last game. They all suck.
Like shanking one on a freezing cold, rainy day with a three iron.

Haha, yeah right. FSU would have dominated KU that year. We were the only team to keep within 10 of VCU before the Final 4. And all the things VCU had that gave Kansas fits, FSU had as well.
You were a 10-seed that had beaten 3 Top-25 teams all year.
You certainly could have won against 32-2 Kansas, a team with 6 future NBA guys - 3 of whom played this year, but it would have been one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history; only slightly behind the VCU debacle.

I have blocked out several (st Mary’s, ncstate, Wisconsin, george Mason, old Dominion). The one that still stings the most was 2005 when the ref took away a likely game tying and one layup by Allen Ray against UNC in the sweet 16 at the Carrier Dome. BS travel call. One of the worst ever
^^This^^ but right up there with it, I would have to say that this year’s final four was disappointing as well as the final four in 04 against UCONN and the 98 game against UK.
Syracuse 2003. McNamara going insane from 3. Roy standing around dumbfounded refusing to call timeout as Syracuse not once but twice builds a 15+ lead after KU cut the lead down to 1-2 possessions. And KU going 13-30 from the FT line. Lost by 3. Hard to get over.
I am glad to be on the other end of a couple of these painful memories. ;-) I suspect if we had any old Georgetown fans, the '85 championship game might make the list as well.
For me, the Villanova loss the NC State in 2015 (the "Piccolo Girl" game) was personally painful because I live near NC State, have quite a few friends who are NCSU grads, and the long off season that followed for a team projected to do well. That game really established the "can't get out of the second round" narrative which followed Villanova even into the tournament this year. I had one State friend who would tell me that NC State was the last team to beat VU in the tournament after the 2016 championship.
There was a loss to Georgetown on a bogus foul in the backcourt when the Georgetown player was out of control and going out of bounds. Any loss to Georgetown is always painful but that one stands out but nothing like the personal pain of losing to NC State. That sucked all summer long.
It's not as painful but one that could have changed the perception of KU was the 91 title game. If you switch the outcome of that game it gives KU four titles and reduces Duke down to four. KU has lost to all the other blue bloods in the finals (IU twice, Duke;NC;and Kentucky once) and has never beaten a fellow blue blood. Switching the outcome of that game changes that.

I still rewatch that game once a year or so. Both really fantastic teams playing at a really high level...just at different points in the game. I have a poster of Mills' 3 signed by Cameron and Jeff Sheppard framed in the living room.
And we owed you one at the time, anyway.
The answer is obviously '15 Wisconsin. I'll never get over those shot clock calls.
I never had high expectations after Marshall broke his wrist. I wasn't really expecting to win that game, although Stillman White gave it the old college try.
2013 (or 2012?) elite 8 loss to Louisville. We were up like 15 or something with not much game time left and I had been drinking so I was prematurely celebrating and was mentally already in final 4 mode when crafty ass Pitino and his crafty ass PG put the boss moves on Pitino's apprentice Billy Donovan and just took control in the final few minutes and won. I think it was the Bradley Beal 1 and done team. We were raining threes the first 3/4 of the game and then went cold as Pitino showed Donovan how to be clutch.
I remember this more than other games because when you already mentally think you won and your expectations are set and you're already thinking about the next game......and then boom, you buckle like crazy and season is over, it pisses you off, lol. would have rather been blown out from the start of the game so mind and expectations weren't messed with like that, haha.

How ironic is it that SKJ couldn’t get into UNC with his transcripts but could get into NC State?
Middle T-E-Double N-E-Double S-Double E. Middle Tennessee. Goooo Raiders!
Thanks. Sorry but your effort was around the D to D- range.
I understand you keeping up with former UK players slash future NC State players.
Naw just keeping up with players that didn’t have the transcripts to get into UNC. Guess some schools will take anybody.
