Remaining games are the top 3 statistical matchups in CBB history

Still have serious doubts about Houston and Florida. Think Auburn has to be the one

Crazy. So UNC has played 8 of the 10 best KenPom teams ever, and has played a total of 14 games against the 10 best KenPom teams ever, with 9 of those games against the top 3.

1. It was a mostly made-up scandal. The actual transgressions -- once you remove some false allegations from narcisssistic weirdos -- were small fries; it was a football program thing; and the basketball coaches didn't know about it.

2. I have no proof of that policy. I have no evidence of that policy, other than what I have read on message boards in various places. I have read that on quite a few message boards, but message boards are not a reliable source of information even in the aggregate (esp. since they are extremely prone to information cascades. I will not assert it against any pushback, because I don't know.

I took this thread to be casual talk. I'd go one step further than "not worth much" and say its non-zero worth would feature many 0s after the decimal point.

Yes, it was a made-up scandal that was handled poorly by Holden Thorp. An investigation by a former GOP governor said there was nothing to see here as did the NCAA.

I was an executive producer of an award winning documentary ( "Unverified: The Untold Story Behind The UNC Scandal " ) which demonstrates it was largely a media created scandal inspired by two disgruntled UNC faculty members which did harm to many honest and hardworking folks within the athletic department.

Florida won at Auburn by 9.

I think they have the best shot to beat dook but there won’t be any big surprises regardless of how it all plays out.

They haven’t looked like the team that beat Auburn so far in this tournament

The only team i would say that looks to be playing tight at times

Glad Duke is seeing Houston in the FF because I don’t trust Florida right now

Houston at least plays such a different style that maybe it will cause issues
 
Hard to see dook being stopped, with the way the other three squads have been winning ugly… but an off shooting night changes everything.
 
I'm hoping that Florida comeback against Texas Tech (from down 9 with under 3 mins to play) lit a fire for the Gators. Give me Florida vs Dook in the 'ship, and a Gators buzzerbeater in Flagg's face to win it all.

It all resets now. I don’t look too much at style points getting there.

Yeah. And fuck the dookies on this board who brought it up.

Yeah, some dook fan basically said that since someone mentioned it and anyone is allowed to post here that the scandal was "fair game". They seem to have missed that this also clearly a UNC fans board and while fans of other schools are generally welcomed, coming here and pissing on the host school likely isn't going to go over very well.

Honestly, I don't care.

I figured, and it's not like you don't defend your positions well, in any event. But as Mulberry describes above, pissing on the host school is not a good look.

I remember when IC ZZLP went away, and a dookie invited us to the DD (in good faith I'm sure) and we were welcomed to discuss politics (in good faith, for the most part) and many went there (in good faith)... BUT (big but) there were many on that site who questioned the wisdom of inviting Heels into the Devils Den. I certainly get that. And if we had pissed on them - on that board - we would have been shown the door quicker than Hubert showed EC the door. And I get that too.

But on this board, I'm not going to piss on their boots and tell them it's raining. I'll simply piss on their boots and tell them I'm pissing on their boots and if they don't like it, tough. They can ignore me or better yet, they can go back to DD to discuss their team and throw shade on ours. But to come here and throw shade? About that particular topic of all things? Nah, not having it.

Well, I'd have a better case for being offended if I wasn't talking smack and making silly claims. So that's kind of a personal aspect there that isn't present for other posters.

More to the point, I'm not going to try to dictate to you what you should or shouldn't be offended by. I expressed that I wasn't offended by it, and that's all I meant. It was applicable to me only.

I have no problem with anyone who comes here and posts about the "scandal" as long they are informed about the facts pertaining to the "scandal "
