We would have if the Big AO didn't get hurt. We should have anyway. We let them punk us.
Gosh I hope UNC loses somewhere along the line.

UNC has had the refs on their side this entire tournament...they commit violations spanning decades, 10x worse than syracuse and somehow get gifted a 1 seed with an easy path to the final four, still no sanctions, and have the refs on their side...
Something doesn't sit well with me about this

The main things I remember(not even sure if it's all accurate) were we kept trying the high low pass to feed Wes Johnson in the low post with Rick Jackson up top, and it wasn't very successful. I thought it was weird to try to work Wes in the low post so much. Wouldn't have happened if we had AO. Not sure it should've happened even without AO.
Kris Joseph took a german supplex underneath when going for a rebound, with no call.
That shot clock beating 3 pointer that bounced around, hit the top of the backboard and went in.
We took the lead and had the ball with a few minutes to go and seemed to be one hoop away from really being in control. I feel like Scoop may have possibly botched something around that point. Could be wrong.

Easy path? Kentucky-UNC is a national championship caliber matchup and it's happening in the elite eight. If UNC makes the final four, it will be well earned. Putting UNC, UK, and UCLA in the same bracket was nuts. That was 3 of the top 5 teams all season in my opinion. But I don't overvalue conference tournaments(Duke...gtfoh) and I'll remain wary of mid majors until one of them wins it all.

We were up four with like 330 to go with the ball and turned it over.
At least I think, and I'm not going to rewatch.

Ugh. I remember feeling like after an incredibly frustrating game we were about to put them away and get out of there with the W. Nope. I'm still mad.
