You can’t really win a game in the first half…but you can definitely lose it.
Well KU can't play much worse and UNC can't play much better so let's see how the second half goes. Hoping KU makes a run otherwise a pretty unwatchable game when it's so one sided.

At what point does Braun decide he doesn’t want the ball thrown back in his face when driving to the hoop?

Turn it back on around 10:30 or so for the only thing that matters tonight anyway.

No. UNC was #4, Michigan was #3. It was before that.

Trivia question was - When was the last time that the AP #1 beat AP #2 in the National Championship Game (based on rankings before tournament started)

1975 - #1 UCLA over #2 Kentucky

Since that one, there's only been one other #1 vs. #2 title game, and #2 won that one (UNC over Illinois, 2005).

UNC can play better....Love has 4.

McCormack is getting whooped. UNC isn't undersized Nova. KU is playing soft

Chuck took KU but is saying Self has had 'an awful game plan'.
The Jet trying to hold back, but he probably is thinking it's over.

No. They were ranked #1 and #2 at the time, but in 1975, they updated the AP poll during the tournament. But before the tournament, UCLA was #2 and Kentucky was #5

KU might want to go the Baylor option and just go full out press on UNC. Now they probably won't get to mug UNC like Baylor did but may be their best option.
