Okay, nowLol like everyone giving Arkansas no credit going into the Duke game? Besides I said it was shaping up to be a UNC win. And while I agree those four teams represent a potentially good Final Four, it's just feels like BAU.
Not reallyI'm not a huge college hoops guy, but it Manek a pro prospect? Dude can shoot.
Not confident until they're up 30+An all too common end to a cinderella run. The rout is on.
Might get drafted in the 2nd round, but not considered a true prospect. I think he’d get run off the floor at the next level — he isn’t a stellar defender at the college level and is less athletic than most of the people he’d have to guard.I'm not a huge college hoops guy, but it Manek a pro prospect?

I have to think that Seton Hall goes hard after himHell of a run. Wonder if they'll be back? Will their coach bounce to another program?
Rutgers or Seton Hall if those jobs open, especially the latter.Hell of a run. Wonder if they'll be back? Will their coach bounce to another program?
Also one of the worst on-man defenders I've ever seen at CarolinaNot really
Can't pass, can't rebound that well for his size, doesn't really have post moves, can't jump, can't run.
In theory he can be 10th-11th guy on a team as a stretch four.

#9 is a team that hasn't won an NCCA tourney game this century.ND 8th shocks me more than any other.
Bradley and Oregon State for me (being so high)ND 8th shocks me more than any other.

My understanding is that the Seton Hall job is waiting for him when the tournament is over.I have to think that Seton Hall goes hard after him
Sounds like a textbook case of Manek depression.Case in point on Manek right there
I want both teams to lose.Also Duke/UNC is gonna be out of control hyped. ESPN wet dream!
The Seton Hall job is open, as Maryland hired Kevin Willard.Rutgers or Seton Hall if those jobs open, especially the latter.
You’re right. I’d much prefer Texas Tech or Michigan StateFuck this final four
The problem is Carolina fans should be absolutely thrilled at making the Final Four with this bunch. But it means almost nothing if they don’t win next Saturday now.You’re right. I’d much prefer Texas Tech or Michigan State
It’s really the same for Duke. I’m so psyched for K. It sucks that it has to go down like this.The problem is Carolina fans should be absolutely thrilled at making the Final Four with this bunch. But it means almost nothing if they don’t win next Saturday now.
Most obvious decision in historyDuke-UNC is the late game. Damn.
Not a huge deal. Just wish tips were an hour earlier.Most obvious decision in history
It’s a Saturday, what’s the issue?
I think it's worse for Duke. They come in to this season with all of the typical expectations of a loaded squad, plus it's K's final year. Now they will be a heavy favorite to beat their rival in the Final 4. If they win, they still have a quick turnaround to play in a National Title against a team that might be better than them, and they will still have tremendous pressure to also win.It’s really the same for Duke.

I'd care just b/c I'm tired of losing to Kansas in the tourney and if it was Nova it'd be nice to get them back for 2016.I think it's worse for Duke.

If they lose to UNC, it's total devastation. Coach K might pull a Brady and come back if that happened.
I suspect if UNC were to beat Duke their fans wouldn't care if they lost in the finals to Kansas by 400. Duke, not so much.
EDIT: Short version. If UNC loses it's a terribly bitter loss to a hated rival, but they exceeded expectations and should be thrilled with a Final Four. If Duke loses, it's the worst loss in program history.
