Let's get one more tomorrow vs Kansas! Let's go Heels!!

@@jeremywade6986this comment is the reason we lost😅 such a heartbreaking game

32-29 the last two seasons. Borderline unacceptable.

Brad Kobow completely agree. Hard to build chemistry in Roy’s play style with one and done’s. All these kids come to play with the nba mentality and don’t have the “want” to play Roy Williams basketball

Oh yea tucker. I miss those days when our team hustled and played fundamental basketball. Hopefully the one and dones will stop and this young group of guys we have right now can do something in future.

32-30* Last 3 NCAA Tournament losses; 2018 - 86-65 to Texas A&M 2019 - 97-80 to Auburn 2021- 85-62 to Wisconsin How has Roy not been forced to retire?

@@thowell28513 well it looks like almost no one is leaving this year

Back in my day...

Ikr

Literally every 5 seconds...

@Ashton Kabir it’s a scam don’t do it

Yes bro … but thank god they put them away towards the end of the game and that’s when we pulled away

bro new he was gonna be a national champion after all that pain for the year before and the crazy hard work over the year

his poor game was a huge factor in their loss

@@rustyshackleford9017 he played with a bad back for most of the season

Eric Daniel that’s facts

remember, Joel berry was playing on TWO sprained ankles

Craig Bot oh don’t get me wrong it was well deserved and I wanted him to get it cuz he was so tuff but Meeks actually probably had the best final four

@@connorboyce9736 yeah, I would never try to take anything away from Joel. Amazing player and leader, but Kennedy came up huge in clutch situations, like the offensive rebound against Oregon to end the game and the block and steal at the end of this one. I wish they could all win it. The '09 team was all about scoring 100+ and out-talenting people, and were simply awesome to watch. This team wasn't going to win that way, but they ground their way through the tournament and just refused to lose.

Eric Daniel fair enough

same brother

North Carolina was a good team back then

Facts

2016 and 2017 UNC teams are legendary

basketball town for sure

@J H nope 😭 they are so close man

NCkillaSC Ik same I hate the other one, I’m a zag fan btw great game ghi

wow! A UK fan whining about officials. What a fresh take. ROFL

It just took the air out of momentum. It was a horribly called game.

National Championship 1st Round Pick NBA Player Earned and estimated $10,265,469 Hardly a mistake. I wish I made those type of mistakes.

@@malcolmbrown95 Granted that is a lot, imagine what he could have made had he stayed another year or two and been a lottery pick. He's not ready for the big time.

@@killerseddie8295 Some guys who were projected first rounders have went back to school and completely fell out of the draft altogether. If you have a chance at a guaranteed contract, you gotta go.

Facts , my team would just stare at it .

We don’t talk about 2005 or 2009😞😂😂

@Hunter. When this season began I had Michigan State winning it all. I knew Carolina was rebuilding. I just didn't know how much they needed to rebuild😂. Much respect to Michigan State and especially Tom Izzo, who I feel is the most underrated Coach in college basketball.

They never even have to go to class

They won in 82. That was not year of the rooster. It was the prior 81 season so I can kinda feel ya.

@@dolphthompson7680 That is why I started at 1983 and not 1981.

So, we are a lock to win it all in 2029. Works for me.

Yep!

He did miss a lot which was uncharacteristic.

Yeah, he had an eye injury from the South Carolina game which definitely played a factor

@@zekecleere230 That's correct. I forget where I heard it, but he basically could only see clearly in one eye... If he had his full vision I believe that this game would have turned out differently.

Partially true. I also felt that Few's decision to continue to go to Nigel Williams-Goss besides him badly reinjuring his ankle near the end led to the Meeks block and the game closer. Gonzaga may have lost anyway, but Nigel deserved a better chance. The biggest myth of this game is that Meeks dominated Karnowski. Karno was missing 3 footers. No defensive player ever, even Bill Russell, can stop a big that close to the basket when he's skilled and has a major height and weight advantage. No one. I saw every game Karno ever played, and he dominated centers far better than Meeks who were his height. Meeks did his best, but those were, as you say Gabe, point blank shots.

Carolina defense played a roll on him missing was very hard layups made him keep guessing and made him hit tougher shots and he wasn’t a great free throw also

Same I wanted redemption but I could really care less tho go heels !

@@gavinmccabe1845 True, I was happy regardless lol.

@@PlusUltraAdrian nah, we woulda beat you again and you wouldn't have been able to handle it again. Wisconsin got lucky beating us by a few points that year.

@@neetrab No you wouldn't. We were meant to win in 2017. Regardless of who was in front of us. Nova wasn't winning squat in 2017.

@@PlusUltraAdrian true but nova won it in 2018 unc and nova were best teams 2016-2018

Brooklynmane I really wanna watch that Arkansas game

AMEN

The Arkansas game was the best imho. Close all the way then a shutout in the last 2 minutes.

@@agFinder2 yea lol. Because of the refs. Everyone in the nation said Arkansas won that game. We played good but Arkansas was legit

@@masonparis7957 Score

51:45 Unbelievable. That is the epitome of a team hungry for victory. Three guys, including two 6-11+ bigs hustling their butts off

@@MattSmith-iq1ld it was better than the duke one last year. I’ve got news for you.

they ddnt have anything for carolina big men

Wish It would have went to overtime.I think my Wildcats would have pulled it off.Respect to UNC though hit the big shot when it counted.Although I can say Kentucky has had wat better NBA players than UNC in the past 10 years by a landslide.

Who cares. North Carolina got the title!

A title is a title.🤷‍♂️

@@wilfredomartinez1701 Difference being the NCAA isn't the NBA so who gives af.

Both teams in the bonus with over 14 min to go in game...makes for a real slog

Totally disagree. GU was the #1 defensive team in the nation according to kenpom. The big difference between this Zag team compared to many other others is that they were ELITE defensively. UNC was not just unlucky for their shooting %. IT was because the Zags were super elite on defense. They beat a super elite defensive team in South Carolina that beat Duke. You cannot fake out the Pomeroy stats because they factor in strength of schedule. GU was the #1 defensive team in nation that year. It wasn't a fluke. UNC was to be commended for winning this game.

@@MattSmith-iq1ld now we're the #1 offence

Lol stop Gonzaga was a better team, Karnowski threw

@@tiger5600 I don't think so. Carolina didn't exactly play well and still won. I believe if they played a 7 game series Carolina would take them 4-2 .

We played terrible and still beat Gonzaga...Thats all that needs to be said

@Michaelangelo... Yeszir!

Absolutely

Yeah zags had some chances in the first half to pull away but they didn’t get the job done. Refs were horrible but Zach Collins was also very foul prone that whole year and if he had managed to not foul out he could have maybe helped the zags win that game down the stretch with Goss playing well

How about GU's Karnowski and all the layups he blew? Forget the open 15 foot UNC jumpers. There were 7 or so layups that Karnowski missed in this game that Coach Few said after the game he makes 97% of the time That was not the result of Meeks' defense of the hoop. When you are that deep into the lane and are that much taller and weigh that much more than your defender, you can only miss shots as result of it being your own fault. People forget that GU had the #1 adjusted defense in the nation in 2017, which factors in SoS. They were tough to score on. I hate to say this about Karnowski, who is the winningest player in the history of NCAA D-1 basketball, but Justin Jackson failing to nail the occasion 12 foot jumper is different than missing a 2 footer as a 7-1,, 300+ pound center with superb touch. What was actually AMAZING about the Heels in this game were all the tough shots they hit. The Hicks shot against JWIII near the end of the end of the game was one of the toughest shots I've seen a college basketball player hit in the history of the NCAA tourney. People forget that GU was the #1 adjusted defensive team in the nation in 2017 at Pomeroy. You cannot GAME the Pomeroy ratings as they incorporate strength of schedule. The reason why that 2017 Zag team went to the final was their defense. They've many better offensive teams.

@@MattSmith-iq1ld Sort of my point. Whether UNC missed shots they normally make, or missed because of good defense, the Zags did not capitalize. Karnowski choked, Really no other way to put it. The refs let these two teams actually play the last 2 minutes. UNC won that two minutes.

I hated how CBS and Turner said that Meeks played great defense on Karnowski. A bunch of B.S. When you are 3 feet from the basket, and you miss a layup, no defender can stop you when you are that much taller, stronger and weigh more than your defender. Karno also had outstanding touch around the basket. He just blew it. Meeks did nothing defensively that Karno had not seen. He had played against great centers during non-league play during his career. Coach Few said he was missing layups that Karno would nail 97% of the time. It was clearly the biggest factor in Gonzaga losing the game. This was a very tight game. It's not like Karnowski needed to go 12-12 from the field to win the thing.

And Gonzaga lost again tonight

look like a fish 💀

Not really...Joel Berry was playing with 2 sprained ankles and hurt the whole tourney. He powered through a whole game...Goss couldn't gut out 90 seconds.

@@bulletTusnami what do you mean goss couldn't gut out 90 seconds he didn't leave the game no matter how much his ankle was hurting

PJ K you stated he was the “Real MVP”. Joel Berry STARTED the game on two bad ankles...Goss took 2-3 shots on a bad leg and missed, but you’re giving more credit than the guy who outplayed him...on two bad ankles. Smdh

UNC dominated everyone in that tournament. They were by far and away the best team in the NCAA that season. In fact, it can be argued that Gonzaga gave the Heels their best game in that tourney.

@@MattSmith-iq1ld it was actually LSU in the 2nd round. LSU crumbled in the last 5 min, but outplayed UNC until then.

No they didn’t outplay is they went on their spurt and we answered with ours...then reality set it and both teams became exactly who they were the entire season. And Ty Lawson was playing on one foot too.

YESSSSSS my brotha!!

Meeks never had full control of possession. Zags and unc were fighting for a loose ball. Stop your whining

1:08:46 - Double foul on Berry and Karnowski, but clearly was a steal by Berry and a foul by Karnowski. 1:20:46 they called it out on UNC, but it wasn't a block. There were a lot of calls that went GU's way. Ironically, more calls went their way then UNC's...

Played a great game, but no center ever, not even Bill Russell, can stop a 7-1, 300+ pound center with great touch when he's 3 feet from the hoop. Karno missed point blanks that I saw him countlessly convert against bigs better than Meeks who had a size and weight disadvantage. He is given too much credit for Carolina's deserved victory. Even the NWG block was when NWG badly hurt his ankle again. I could've blocked that shot. But Few had zero TO's and couldn't set up a play for someone else.

Mildred Williams good for you

As a Carolina fan, I've got a lot of respect for the Zags of Gonzaga University. I've actually predicted the Zags a perfect season, the buzzer shot VS UCLA had to be one of the greatest shots of NCAA March Madness ever.

Well it makes sense they made it to the final and lost...

NO Sir
