This game is about TEAMS and PROGRAMS, not about PROS!!!!

The same reason as always.  TV Ratings.  Capture as many viewers as possible from the Pacific time zone.

Tangent to this, it’s kind of sad the NCAA Final Four has been relegated to TBS. The reality is, very few people care about it. The bigger names and Coach K angle brought much more attention than normal.

First TV timeout and Grant Hill is already in mid-game form. “Hard foul… I didn’t see what happened there.” I don’t normally pay much attention to commentators, but how he is the best they can do is beyond me.

Game has settled down some now after Kansas jumped out to a 7-0 lead it is 15-12 Kansas at the under 12 media timeout.

This is big boy basketball. Both teams are playing tough, physical ball and the refs are letting it go so far.

Bacot is pulling a Willis Reed in this one. 

North Carolina is currently on a 10-0 run after trailing 18-12 to now lead Kansas 22-18 at the under 8 timeout.

Another run by Carolina this one a 14-0 run to now lead 36-22 with still 2:40 left in the first half.

UNC getting into foul trouble

For the younger set - When the Garden was Eden.

After the Kansas 7-0 start, UNC has doubled them up 38 to 16.

UNC looking good for number 7….

North Carolina leads 40-25 at the half. In the last just over 10+ minutes the Tar Heels outscored the Jayhawks 28-7.

So will we have to endure years of people insisting this title belonged to Roy Williams?

McCormack is the key to this game for Kansas. Ogbaji can't do it by himself. McCormack and Braun have to help.
