I made a post on selection Sunday saying I hope the Illini get in Baylor's bracket because they were over rated. "Ultimate insider" wanted to unlike my comment and said I was dead wrong. I guess N C proved me correct.
UNC has a ton of talent. I don’t know if this was Baylor being overrated so much as UNC being severely underrated. Through nobody’s faults based on their performance, but that UNC starting 5 is stacked.

I rarely if ever watch NBA on TNT or whatever it is, but not at all impressed with Kenny Smith as a studio announcer
It’s a great show and the NBA is awesome (coming from an adopted bucks fans who’s been in MKE for 10+ years.

Kenny Smith is by far the weakest of the four core NBA on TNT hosts.

Charles Barkley is the best in the biz, and it’s not even close.

What a game.
UNC is a team whose starting five plays major minutes (the highest scoring sub scores 3.5 pts on average), and then two of their starters fouled out. Then their opponent, a defending national champion almost playing at home, got a 25pts comeback into overtime. I believe everyone would assume they are going to lose. But they did it. That was huge.

Will never understand why teams settle for a last second 3 point shot when the game is tied, down 1 or even 2. It seems to happen every time I watch a game especially in college basketball. Your chances of success in that situation are pretty slim.
Because Its 5 on 5 in high pressure situations involving a bunch of 18-21 year olds. These kids are human. Athletic specimens, but human nonetheless.

The only thing I can figure about the Baylor NC game is ....all 3 ref's had Baylor in the final 4 in their bracket pool.

and I've never root for NC until about 10 minutes left in the game
Yes, but no. That level of jobbing screams multiple stepkids on the team.

I'd agree with this take 100%. Baylor has gotten by this year by spreading out their losses but they're not particularly deep either due to injuries. UNC is the most talented 8 seed we've seen in a while. Theyre actually an 8 seed i wouldn't want us to get if we were a 1 seed this year due to their talent alone.

Memphis as a 9 is similar. TON of talent there. Should be a very good game.

Why are announcers calling it a "long 2" when someone takes a shot from inside the free-throw circle? They're furthering the change to either 3 pointers or layups. :mad::mad:

lol, Hunter Dickinson actually pretty decent at humor on that one

Yeah this has nothing to do with but thanks I guess. Make the smart play at the end of the game and not a play that has very little chance of succeeding. What age you are has nothing to do with it. Most of these guys can handle the pressure. It's not like they haven't been in those situations before. And some of it falls on coaching too.

Still can't believe that JCL hasn't retired yet.
