North Carolina Vs Kansas - KOD
- Thread starter THE KOD
- Start date
? UNC finished first in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency. The past three national champs (Florida, Florida, UNC) finished either first or second in that category.
? The Heels finished 121st in 2-point FG percentage defense, which is the worst mark of any team in the past five Final Fours.
? Carolina has scored at least 1.2 points per possession in four of its past seven games, which is incredibly good in league tournament and NCAA tournament play (even with Mount St. Mary's thrown in).

"I'd say Illinois fans probably hate Bill Self as much as Kansas people hate Roy Williams," Johnson said. "But there's a difference. Roy Williams left the cupboard empty. Bill Self left the cupboard full."
Indeed, Illinois was in the national title game two years later.
Another irony of this year's game is that it comes amid speculation that Self might, himself, bolt Kansas after the season to return to his alma mater, Oklahoma State. The Cowboys don't have half the tradition of KU, but do have a very wealthy donor in Boone Pickens, who can make lots of things happen.:scared

30 minutes now and March Madness becomes the Final Four 2008 games.
I like UCLA alot in the first game, but not enough to lay any money. I will watch the game close so that whoever advances I will have seen them at their best hopefully.
Makes the final play alot easier to win the money .
Building up to the final game on Monday night I think.
I love this time of year for college basketball.

One thing about Memphis is that they can score pretty much at will.
Combine that with playing above average defense.
And that equals Nat Championship Game .
I saw that lack of offense with UCLA. They just did not have that at will scoring ability .
OK lets see if UNC will step up the defense side and take it to Kansas.
