Then there’s the defense. They seemed pretty good for a while but have regressed. Williams and even Johns are pretty good, but the rest can’t keep anyone in front of them, which forces others to step up and help, which leads to open shots and easy back door cuts. Just a mess right now.

Never expected the team to have that heart or mental toughness. 

K pretty much said it as well in the interview after the game.

Could absolutely devastate UNC over the next few years if they meet and pull it off.

Being an ACC fan I’d like to see Carolina win today, but I’m not sure I’d want to have to play them again with the way they’re playing right now.

Naturally, it feels right to root for Saint Peters as the huge underdog but in this special situation I'd rather see the great tobacco road rivalry one last time with Coach K.

Day I say, biggest college basketball game ever?

The pressure is going to be absolutely immense, Paolo could lock up the #1 spot if he kills it

Yeah.  UNC would be "devastated” to be in the final four with a team that wasn’t ranked most of the year.  Complete devastation.  LOL.  Good call.  

It's called recruiting but sure you got it all figured out

People gave Hubert Davis a hard time this year which in hindsight was pretty dumb.  I think he knows what he’s doing.  Doesn’t matter that UNC wasn’t ranked most of the year.

Then again, Soccer guy was trying to convince people in the Phillies thread that soccer is going to over take baseball in popularity.   Yeah.  Soccer guy has been saying that dumb ish for decades.   

The average baseball fan is like 60 years old.

People weren’t sure if he was the right hire and the program has been faltering recently.  So yeah.  It matters greatly that they made the final four during a season that they weren’t ranked most of the year.  They have a very short bench and don’t have a great class lined up for 22 or 23, thus far.  So yeah, it matters they made it.  Especially for him.  If they lose Saturday, it won’t hurt them much at all.  

You have it all figured out bud

I do.  Thanks.  Now.  How’s that MLS thing.  😂

Better to watch than baseball. Thanks for asking.
