Fart in the Wind season, they look like they don’t even belong in the tourney.
They did not belong. Last moth proved it.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

This is a mediocre team that got incredibly hot for one month.  They haven't played well since beating Villanova on Feb 2.

Lots of work to do.  Going to need 2-3 starters out of the transfer portal.  Then go get some big time recruits in the class of 2023.

Yes. Let's definitely get some recruits to round out this roster. Maybe Shaka will decide he wants to coach them come crunch time.

How far do you have Pitt and Wake Forest going in your bracket?
All I'm saying is that NC has no problem getting top 50 recruits all the time,how often are they coming hear? Were ecstatic to get one.Talent is never an issue with blue bloods.

They lost to VaTech - then a bubble team - by 13 less than a week ago.
They lost to Miami by 28 points.
They lost to Wake Forest by 22 points.
They lost to Kentucky by 29 points.

Shocked that Vegas didn't install UNC as a 30-point favorite. Those guys know nothing.

UNC is more talented. They're not 30 points more talented, and saying so is just a bullsh*t excuse for this performance.

Again, I'm not excusing the piss-poor performance.  It's unacceptable.

Marquette should refund the trips to the poor souls who had to watch this crap in person.

At least I live here.  I’m sorry for those of you who paid big money to travel.  I feel badly for the fans who spent hard earned dollars to watch this shellacking.  It’s almost as bad as the poor souls who flew in from overseas only to be told by Adele a day in advance of her opening show to go home because she wasn’t ready yet for her Vegas residency!

Like with most things in life, it's probably some of both. I don't know what "we" think and I definitely don't have all the answers. But in hindsight it's pretty clear that our run in January was unsustainable for one reason or another.

The more perplexing thing to me today is how our guys never had an answer this game. The whole season this squad always felt like it was putting up a fight even after getting knocked down early. Today looked like a completely different story.

Would have been nice to see a hard foul here and there on layups or dunks in the second half rather than just backing off. Not saying dirty or dangerous, but at least show a little fight.

North Carolina just has more talent then MU,hope Shaka cant start recruiting his guys and it changes.

Agreed.  But, make a few shots early and the defensive energy is much better.  We may have lost anyway but it would have been closer.

This reminded me of a couple games at St Johns during Wojos tenure where MU got boat raced.  We are not nearly as bad as we played and they are not nearly as good.

its simple when you shoot like that your not going got win...it was brick after brick beside Prosper in the 1st half...Kolek could have so many points if he could just hit a little bunny mid range shot...Oso looked awful, that crossover he got stripped on was embarrassing...was so excited for his future but he really struggled down the stretch
