Guy just falls down and foul on us.

Watching the difference in calls on each end I don’t know how anyone could say it’s not.

KU is always strong in the second half, can’t imagine they won’t find a way to pull it out

Playing afraid to lose instead of like they want to win.

This sucks.

Why do good players suck at free throws?

WTF Braun?

The weird thing IMO, is they did... I mean, not terribly long, but UNC was shooting 30%, Kansas was hustling on defense and they were making some shots.

It was like a tiny breeze of adversity blew through the arena and they all toppled over like they've never trailed before. :doh!:

Worst guard play we've seen in awhile..

Braun choking about as bad as you can choke. In the early games, though, we had Remy to save us. He's looked nervous himself today though.

That ref on Carolinas end has just completely swallowed his whistle

Good thing I'm getting used to seeing my favorite teams lose in championship games lol

We haven’t scored a basket in what? 10 minutes?

Braun will not get drafted. He's reverting back to his horrible 2pt efficiency of last year. Its been on the decline since the middle of the season.

He need a pull up game. He should be able to feel when its not there on the drive and pull up. Not a floater, not a wild shot. A short pull up jump shot, not even a mid range would do him wonders.

Yeah, even just an 8-0 run isn't anything crazy just to get it to single digits and get some momentums.

Get Braun out of there

Wilson can't hit a ****ing layup to save his sorry worthless life and Braun just sucks at everything. Those are the guys trying to lead the team. Self, PARK THOSE LOSERS ON THE BENCH

We better play a second half like we did against Miami!

A basket!!!! Wow

15 points isn't an insurmountable lead.

This is the same KU team that we were saying wouldn’t make it out of the first weekend. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

JFC. LMAO

There wasn’t even a single KU jersey in the restricted area. Pathetic.

Well that pretty much summed up the whole half right there.

No over yet!

Remember we were supposed to lose to SDSU in the rd of 32 also.

I was shocked when they said the other day since KU won in 2008 each of the other three teams Final Four teams have two titles each. This would be a pretty bad loss.

Yeah basically but it sucks to get absolutely embarrassed by an 8 seed and just drop 22 points

Yeah KU ****ed themselves almost out of the game with that performance. It'll either be the greatest comeback in KU history or the greatest collapse.

Easy to win the championship when the other team misses 50 layups.

WTF 55, you don’t block out and give up the ball and then just allow him to
Put it back up?

Can any single player play to their talent level tonight?

Up 7 and then get outscored by 22 pts!
:cuss:

Maybe ku will show up in the 2nd half

So KU has had one title and the others have had two since 2008?

Self is gonna be getting into some ass at half jeez

I ****ing told you; delete this thread

Honest question.

Why would Braun get drafted?

What does he do at an elite level? Not trolling I just seriously don't see any skills when watching him that stand out that an NBA team would want.

What am i missing?

After all that, UNC is still only shooting 34% and 3/11 from three... granted, 16 free throws is concerning.

Not sure that's the worst 10+ minutes of the tournament (Providence), but JFC.

Nah. In the NBA, you just need spot up shooters. If he can keep working on his shot, he can make it as a role player.

Hope Bill goes in at halftime and rips them a new one. Time to wake up and remember how to do simple things like hit wide open layups.

It’s close. There is probably 4 minutes in the second half where we can make a run. They’re getting too many boards and not making mistakes enough to beat themselves.

16-4 on free throws and it's not like we're jump shooting. One sided reffing. Bacot can do whatever the **** he wants and not get called moving screens, pushes, etc

**** OFFICIAL North Carolina vs Kansas National Championship Game Thread ****
 

Yeah I corrected it, the other three Final Four teams this year.

So fugly, things have to change.

Every player on KU was choking significantly that half other than McCormack and Agbaji. There was always a chance that might happen considering a few of these guys' track records under pressure (i.e. Braun) but not even being able to score at all against UNC is quite something. 28 FG% is just abysmal.

Can't say it's over quite yet, but it's around a 10% chance at this point and they'll need to go on a serious push to start the 2nd half. Hard to see how that happens right now.

Missing 12 layups doesn’t help.

Turning it over in 5 straight possessions doesn’t help.

Letting beards shoot uncontested 3s for sure doesn’t help.

Braun and Wilson absolutely ****ed us in that first half

Bacott rebounds is what's killing KU

That dude is an amazing rebounder

Someone on reddit is claiming Self isn't good enough at in game adjustments. Since when?

Game threads bring out the hot takes.

We know a thing or two about that over here.

Trying to find any kind of positive for KU. The only thing I can think of is that UNCs top guys ate up a lot of minutes. KU stays fresh but that has to mean something and fast.

Pretty easy to rebound when you get to straight shove players

We started at a 71% chance to win and they swung it to a 90% chance to win.

That’s pretty impressive.

They've had several missed bunnies. They just need to settle.

This game ain't over , only a fool would think it is

Sometimes shots don’t fall, but getting out rebounded like this is ridiculous

Epic comeback coming up

Is he related to Andy Reid?

oh boo ****ing hoo, we got 2 less fouls than KU and they were hitting people in the face.

They got like 4 open layups after Self went small when McCormack picked up his 2nd foul. That was a good adjustment in bringing Bacot out to the perimeter.

The problem of course was that Wilson and Braun simply missed all of them.

There aren’t many but the only thing I can think of is law if averages with rebound issues and easy missed shots starting to go in.

I feel like you guys are being too kind to Agbaji.

He was entirely too passive that half. He needs to take over and hunt his shot if you all are gonna come back and win. If he plays like he did in the first half then the deficit will not change.

18-2 in second chance points lmao

It's over lol

Bacott

Bacot at minimum should have three fouls boo ****ing hoo yourself

Nah

Pretty simple: Braun and Wilson absolutely sucked all of the ass in the first half. they tried to play hero and failed miserably. Bad defense, bad shooting, that'll kill you. You CANNOT have two players be total shit in a half. Self should have sat their asses down, but he left them in.

Braun/Wilson chokefest.

It is how UNC beat Gonzaga years ago.

KU was 4 pt favorites.

Down by 15 at half.

Has to be less than a 5 to 7% chance of victory at this point.

0% if we pass up three point shots and miss layups.

Yeah and he's injured

KU shouldn't be down 15 lol

Bacot is playing the wrong sport. Should be a disgusting Raider with the penalties he commits.

Just remember UCLA in Allen Fieldhouse. 15 point deficit at half. 15 point win for the Jayhawks.

You don't watch Agbaji enough. He doesn't hunt his shot because he's not capable of creating his own shot. Him attempting to do that would be a mistake.

Honestly, as one of his bigger critics all season, he was fine. This has actually been his 2nd best game in the tournament.

we will need to make some 3s to get back in this one

Isn't his name. And you're a huge UNC fan right?

He is playing possum a little bit I think

I can't spell

Mayock isn't the GM any more so we won't be drafting him. STFU

I hope he tells them:

"Well guys, it was a nice run. Let's thank our seniors for all they have done for the program."

And then let's 5 of the walk-ons know that they will be starting the second half.

Can't blame the refs for not scoring for like 8 minutes of game time due to a ton of missed layups. The guys are just choking.
