Eight Minutes, Thirty Seconds

That's the amount of time UNC trailed in the 240 minutes of play during the NCAA Tournament. Breaking it down:

  • Radford The Heels never trailed.
  • LSU 75 assorted seconds in the first half, stretching from 18:52 until UNC took the lead at 15:44 on a Wayne Ellington three to make it 9-8.
  • LSU 17:04-16:26 LSU takes a 42-41 lead that lasts until Ty Lawson ties it at 44-44.
  • LSU 15:11-11:12 The longest stretch UNC trailed, from a score of 47-44 until the Heels regained the lead at 56-54
  • LSU 10:52-10:30 Marcus Thorton hits his a three to go up 57-56, and Ty Lawson responds 22 seconds later to make it 57-56. UNC would never trail in the second half
  • Gonzaga, 19:45-19:35 Gonzaga leads 1-0, until Tyler Hansbrough makes a jumper.
  • Gonzaga, 19:23-18:48 Gonzaga leads 3-2, until Ty Lawson hits a three.
  • Oklahoma The Heels never trailed
  • Villanova 19:38-18:42 Villanova leads 2-0, until Wayne Ellington ties it with a jumper.
  • Villanova 18:21-18:05 Villanova leads 4-2, until Ty Lawson hits a three.
  • Michigan State 19:13-18:54 Michigan State leads 3-2 until Danny Green hits a three.
Eight minutes, thirty seconds. Two minutes, sixteen seconds after the opening weekend. That's just indescribable.

Izzo knew all along...

that he was overmatched. Not that they woulda lost, but the best thing that could have happened for UNC to win the title was MSU beating UCONN. Now its time for Drew, Davis (hoping he stays), Henson Zeller and all the new young’ns to get a title before they leave.

one word

dominance.

glad to hear Davis is coming back!

Simply by pulling on both ends, Patrick Willis can stretch diamonds back into coal
