Speaks about 2012 and what particular team wouldve given UK all they could handle had a certain player not gotten injured. (K. Marshall)

That's cute, but what two teams were ranked #1 & 2 for the great majority of the season? Would have been a great championship game.

UNC got blown out by Kansas that year in the tournament, right?

FYI...Syracuse was ranked #1 for 6 weeks that season.

Syracuse in 2012 was the best team in the country and out record with Fab Melo proves that.

Blown out? No. Actually were winning most the game until Barnes fouled out with 5 minutes left I believe, again without Kendall Marshall, probably one of the top 2 or 3 PG in the country that year.I'm not saying Syracuse didn't have a great team. Just that it was pretty obvious from almost everyone who the two most talented teams that year were-unc and Uk. Unc took Uk to the buzzer at rupp that year.

It's really not even a subjective argument. Unc went about 10 deep with future first round draft picks. I only started the thread because I lost posting privileges on the other thread where it was being discussed.

Nah. Blown out. Cry some more.

So Unc is the defending national champions and you think I'm crying about a loss in 2012? Not really. I know that imaginary "what coulda been" 2012 is all you really have to hang onto these days, and really.. you don't even have that, but don't project your bitterness on me.

On paper UNC was really good that year. On the floor, Syracuse was the best.

Didn't read. But, 34-3 >>>>32-6. Eat it.

Name the "10 deep future first round picks".

Name the "10 deep future first round picks".

Follow up question to the above: How can a "Deep" team have to play Stillman White so much?

 

[jncuse]

Let's not forget that UNC had Roy Williams who can mismanage a game better than any top tier coach.

Oh. I looked at the boxscore and saw 80-67. Syracuse only lost 3 games that season, 2 without Fab Melo. 34-3 and #1 6 weeks that season. Ranked #2 heading into the Ncaa Tournament. Damn near made the final four without our starting center. Cmon buddy.

Other noteworthy information on the 2012 UNC team.

They lost 90-57 to Florida St, in the infamous game where Roy Williams abandoned the deep reserves and had the rest of the team leave the floor early.

Why are you here?

 

[Trueblue25]

Didnt we have Dion Waiters/Triche/jardine and MCW in 2011/2012?

Why are you arguing this? You were outclassed entirely. Thats a lottery pick who's still averaging over 16 ppg in the NBA and a rookie of the year. i havent the slightest doubts your guards would've been overmatched.

Just a guess here: he roams around forums taunting and baiting until he gets banned, and then has to find a new one. Wash, rinse, repeat?

Shhhh, you killjoy. Unctar88, you were saying?

UNC 2012 had 6 players drafted by NBA teams (not 10)
Syracuse 2012 had 5 players drafted by NBA Teams.

Earth shattering difference.

Add in the fact that Southerland, Fair, Triche, and Jardine were all good NCAA players that went undrafted -- none of which were frosh in 2012, and 3 of which were upperclassmen.

I dont think unc would have came within 8 points of joseph/fair/fab/dion/rak/scoop/triche/mcw... am i missing anyone?

Southerland was a key player on that team. Keita played a role too, though that was the season where he played the least. I remember him coming through in one of our NCAA tourney wins(Wisconsin?). MCW got a lot of DNP's in big games. Crowded backcourt.

 

[Trueblue25]

Must've been a down year for unc then because from what i remembered we faced several rosters much more formidable than what they had
