This troll on troll action is weird.

I can appreciate the TiC-ness of Reerun's posts though.

We're gonna beat the shit out of this bad UNC team

He seems particularly interested in engaging with me tonight. I'd ignored him up until then.

I thought North Carolina was clearly better than an 8 seed. Kind of like that year Kentucky was an 8 seed. Wichita St was the 1 seed in that region that year. What a shitty draw for them lol.

Yeah, if it wasn't for Pittsburgh, UNC doesn't have any terrible losses (11 seed VTech and 10 seed Miami aren't great)... and if it wasn't for Pitt, it would have been 14 wins in 15 games, with the loss being versus Duke.

Kenpom actually has them in the 4-5 seed range.

They were #30 in KenPom at the time the tournament has started. They've made the biggest jump of anybody, have played high level basketball at both ends since game 1.

For a bit of a preview of what I might get into tomorrow, check where UNC is ranked in the 4 tournament games leading up to tonight (and tonight didn't hurt them either): https://barttorvik.com/trank.php?yea...ll&mingames=0#

All they have to do is beat an 8 seed

8 seed in name only, have been playing like a 1 seed in the tournament.

Please. The only reason UNC got into the tournament was because they beat Duke at Duke.

They suck. They know how to beat one team. They lack quality wins and HAD a bad resume. The predictive metrics did have them as better than a #8 seed but they probably deserved a 10 based on their actual accomplishments. Regardless they arent even as good a Villanova and UNC likes to run.

KU is going to ****ing murder them. No team with high tempos have given KU any problems whatsoever this year.

Exactly. They have great guard play and athletic all around. You don’t beat a team like Duke who has the top draft pick and 2 others in the top 15 without being really, really good. KU will have their hands full on Monday. They should close it out, but won’t be easy.

So what. They were an 8 for a reason. Almost didnt get into the tournament. KU wins going away in this one. An absolute cakewalk by KU to a National Championship. And I love it and KU fans deserve this break.

Wins over Baylor, Duke, and UCLA say exactly what their level has been recently. That isn't some fluke. Won't be an easy game at all, no.

This isn't a break and fortunately I'm sure KU's players won't be looking at it that way.

Sure you can. Avg teams beat good teams all the time. If it wasn't any other 8seed nobody would be acting like this. They just have UNC by their name.

Kansas is going to murder UNC. Murder them.
