They arent good and dont have depth and the amount of timeouts and length of said timeouts in the tourney is astronomical. They played well and nearly won, credit to the coach for employing a strategy that appeared to work well.

I’ll always take the 11 seed instead of the 6 seed.

Yeah. But they are both pretty bad.

THATS OFF UNC

Take your time guys.

Battle89 · Mar 19, 2026

This is why I hate playing the blue bloods. They get every marginal call.

couple of hero ball possessions to start OT from both sides

So who does everyone want to play after watching regulation? Assuming our beloved win.

I think we lose to either of them. Our guards will get cooked by VCU's guards. Carolina has more talent but Davis is a mediocre coach.

Do they think it's sudden death OT...first goal wins?

Illini09 · Mar 19, 2026

First team to score in OT wins!

TheChief4Life · Mar 19, 2026

Honestly, VCU scares me more, but I really don’t want UNC to win.

NarrowJ · Mar 19, 2026

Bunch of tired legs now

cs04 · Mar 19, 2026

Yeah both sides looking kinda gassed

Case in point that weak fadeaway and then trimble's short layup

Fly Illini Fly! · Mar 19, 2026

Awful shot selection. Putrid.

FreshlySqueezed · Mar 19, 2026

I'm not sure why anyone would be scared of either of these teams. I mean, yeah, of course we could lose but we're much, much better than both of them.

Will UNC score a field goal during the overtime?

Hate VCU giving up the lead from a cheap foul from bad transition defense

TheodoreRex · Mar 19, 2026

Anyone else throw up a little seeing Sean May in the huddle?
