I think Jared is as good as of a player as Barnes. BUt I think Harrison Barnes will get all the media love because of the type of position he plays. No one wants to give POY awards to big men.

I think they were 9/12 or 13 before they started going cold. UK is playing with determination now and Lamb hit a couple big 3's.

Huge 3 by UNC. Down by one. UK better not turn it over or miss a shot or UNC probably pulls it out.

This has been a damn great game. What you expect to see when two teams ranked in the top five meet in a regular season game. Both teams going back and forth and making big plays, without one of them completely crumbling and getting blown out.

Freshmen beat the experienced team that wanted to come back for another season.

I guess Carolina was ready to go home? WTF. Why no foul?

Nice awareness Henson. Don't bother fouling with 5 seconds left after you get packed.

Zeller did well defensively, but he was horrible against the double team all game.

Did the Kentucky kid travel before time ran out?

Roy Williams is a great coach, but he needs to make sure his players are aware of time and score better than that. That should have been the key point made in the huddle that had happened just 10 seconds beforehand.

As I said, that's one of the weirdest endings to a game I've ever seen. UNC easily had a chance left to win that game had they fouled.

Total mind lapse by UNC. Great game though. Both teams will be tough and battle tested come March. Looking for both to be in the final four. Hopefully on the other side of the bracket from OSU. Haha.

Great athletic play by Anthony Davis, though. I wouldn't have been able to convert on that shot had a one-eyed monster levitated before me, either.

Coach K needs to coach his team up so they don't get embarrassed on national TV leaving people like you and cc to make up excuses.

Yeah, all coaches make mistakes. Coach K certainly didn't coach a very good game at Ohio State, and his players, aside from Rivers and Plumlee, didn't bother to show up either. As another poster here said, Coach K decided to move on to the "next play" -- meaning next game -- as soon as he went to the zone. I agree.

But the ending to the Carolina game was extremely puzzling. Whoa.
