Garrison Brooks was out, so wasn't much UNC could do. They mentioned that the starters was a new lineup that had never spent a minute on the floor together all season. Pretty rough year for ol' Roy.
Monday, Louisville @FSU, for the conference regular season, most likely.
Yeah, I just read they were down Brooks (boo) and Pierce (...eh). Those personnel losses on top of a squad lacking cohesion and chemistry... and you can pretty much guess what the result would be.
It has been a pretty disheartening year. I guess if they had won ALL of the near-miss games (not the blowouts), they might have a shot at an at-large bid (seems like it'd be a win over Duke and FSU @ FSU), but even then I feel like it'd be a stretch.
Welp, there's always next year.
And there will be no undefeated season. Ghost of UNLV's 91 undefeated regular season team strikes and takes down SDSU 66-63.
Probably no 1-seed now either.
I was hoping we could sweep the conference, especially so close to the end. But better to get the loss out of the way here then in the Tournament.
Fingers crossed BYU can take down Gonzaga.
BYU up 9, under 4. Watch if you're awake.
EDIT: They did it!
1, 2, and 4 go down. What a Saturday.
Or, it's another weekend in the 2019-2020 basketball season!
ACC and their refs can kiss my ass.
Cards up 10, and then they called the 2nd half 10 fouls to 2 in favor of the team full court pressing... until they got the lead back. 8 minutes without a FG because they fouled the sh*t out of us. f*ck FSU
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
(I didn’t actually see the game due to daddy duties, but did you think you’d get away with that without a comment?)
Ok. Just saw the game. It was a great game. The difference in the second half was that FasU changed its full court defense from a stretch 2-1-2 to a full out press. FSU also got red hot from the three and the crowd really got into the game. Both sides has been calls against them. The refs have to figure out the offense initiated contact rule.
And down goes Duke! Double Overtime at Wake Forest.
*pinches self*
Am I awake? Did UNC really win another game?
Hah! Cal beat a ranked #21 Colorado in Berkeley last night.
I think that guarantees we will not be the #12 seed in the conference tourney.
I wonder if Clemson moves up in the NCAA tournament hunt. If they close out the season with wins, and win an acct game or 2...
Meanwhile, UNC is up on Syracuse, but if the game follows the season script we'll blow another double digit lead and lose in the final seconds to a buzzer beating 3.
Contrary to the season's theme, UNC finds another road victory.
Next up, Duke @ UVA.
And down goes Duke! It's another insane weekend in the NCAA!
VT playing like a team with nothing to lose.
I'm still glad I didn't buy ACC tournament tickets this year, but part of me wants to nurture a tiny flicker of hope that they could magically win 5 games in 5 days. I know it's not really possible (has anyone done that since Kemba Walker's UConn run of destiny?), but y'all know how fandom works.
I'd be thrilled if we could ruin Duke's senior night.

Haha
And NCSU is playing for their bubble lives. Duke going to have a challenging week. And they just lost 2 in a row last week.
NCSU came out playing tough, then apparently forgot how to basketball. I tuned out to try the FFVII remake demo after Duke started taking a lead about halfway through the 2nd half. Checking the score, it appears that was wise.
But, now maybe they'll be a bit jaded and susceptible to our WILY MOSTLY UNINJURED TEAM THAT MIGHT HIT SOME THREE POINT SHOTS!
UNC racks up a 3rd win in a row for senior night, go team!
I tell you, that Wake team is better than they've played in some games. But I suppose that's the theme for this season.
Boom. UT beats UK. I had no faith, even when we had the lead with 2 minutes left.

Whoa, I went to bed at the half and UK was up what... 11? Did not expect that outcome!
I see the 2019-2020 season theme continues!

Kentucky was up by 17 in the second half.
(Kind of like UT was up 17 over Auburn recently in the second half, only to lose).
Yeah that was very entertaining. Glad I kept watching.
Just when Lunardi had moved UK up to the 2 line, back down they go.
And maybe coach Cal gets his wish. Reporters won't be talking about Evansville for a few days.
They played that clip and talked about all that for like 5 minutes during one of UT's runs. So annoying.
