It is as big of a break as you can get in a National Title game.

Its a complete dream scenario for KU.

Check the Torvik rankings for UNC for the duration of the tournament. You'll see what I mean.

Ok lets bet money.

KU will not only win, but they will cover vs UNC.

It's going to be a cakewalk.

UNC is also emotionally drained beating their biggest rival and putting the nail in Coach Ks coffin.

You are placing too much stock in short term results over an entire body of work.

I've never said UNC would win. Just that they are a serious threat and you are overlooking them based on what they did pre-tournament.

KCC I expect more doom and gloom, just need a good write up for 1 more game bro. :-)

Not to worry, the worrying will come tomorrow.

What a season for this team. Time to put the last piece of the puzzle together.

UNC is a team loaded with talent and a new coach to get used to and they struggled to start the season.

They have been playing extremely well. Of course they don't beat Baylor if the refs call a blatantly egregious foul at the end of regulation in that game.

Still, I wasn't overly impressed with UNC or Duke last night.

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.

I picked South Dakota State but I should have known better. Those popular upset picks rarely pull it off.

As much as I hate to agree with KCCC, NC hasn't looked like a #8 seed since they beat Duke and spoiled Coach K's last game. They are playing their best BB. Way above what they were playing just a few weeks ago. That said, so are we.

Since the 2nd half of Miami, we have looked like a juggernaut that could beat any team in our way. I think our defense is going to bother NC, create turnovers and frustration. First year coach. Coming off emotional wins over the arch rival. Getting to the championship game. That's a helluva year. They should feel satisfied.

Its been awhile since we won a championship. We got that hunger. We should win comfortably.

I dislike watching NC play basketball.

Iso/hero ball extreme. I hope KU beats the ever-loving shit out of them.

Need a big game from McCormack and Agbaji again. Should be a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully the Jayhawks win in a close matchup.

:-) I'd rather see the 2nd half of Miami and Villanova games than a close one.
