It was an incredible game. Bit of a bummer for Coach K to lose the last two to UNC. Their free throw shooting really bit them in the ass. Couple lame foul calls at the end there too.

That was a fun game that's for sure. I was cheering for Duke as ai had seen them play at least 2 games and I hadn't seen UNC play at all. I was hoping to see Roach and Martin face each other but Davis is certainly fun to watch.

IDK what kind of career Keels will have at the NBA Level but the dude is big, looks like he is already in his 20's knows how to attack the basket and just plays like a vet...at least the games I saw him. When Inwas paying attention to his D in this game it looked pretty good. I'll be interested in his measurements.

I'm not impressed with Banchero on defense at all. Plenty of lazy closeouts where he doesn't even attempt to contest/get a hand up.

McCormick doesn't look that tall to me. Credit to McCormick but I couldn't figure out way Dixon couldn't guard him.

Bacot is thick everywhere. Big arms thick lower body etc. he seems like a guy that will go in the 2nd round and could possibly be (in a year or so) that body that can deployed around times. I'm interested to see him against McCormick.

Bacot is a stud. Really impressed with the way he plays and his overall composure. He's out here battling on one leg practically and still making a huge impact.

Hard to believe North Carolina was an 8-seed the way they have been playing in the tournament.

Don't think he plays with wild athleticism he just plays big and does the classic "small area quickness".

This game was fun then UNC was just owning the game. Kansas is lucky it's as close as it is. It's still been a fun game seeing UNC play so well.

Exactly. And often times these guys are some of the best paint defenders because they are just hard to get through/around and they knock guys off their position just enough to bother their shots, but not enough to get called for a foul. We need the veteran version of Bacot to pair up with KAT for some minutes!

This game is crazy

Anyone's game now but UNC has found themselves on the offensive end the last few possessions.
