After taking a 16-point lead in the loss to Kansas, UNC Basketball Twitter had a short but agonizing message regarding the loss.
It looked like it was over as if another banner was headed for Chapel Hill. The North Carolina Tar Heels rose by 16 points by one point in the first half and by 15 points in the first half.
Next, UNC blew a 16-point lead to KS, the biggest advance in a national game ever. It’s the kind of loss that never leaves you.
After the last bell, UNC basketball Twitter Summarize it perfectly.
Everything that could go wrong went wrong in the second half. After a first half where everything was clicking all the cylinders, the tar heels faltered in the second, similar to when they blew a 25-point lead against Baylor earlier in the tournament but narrowly escaped in overtime. This time, it wasn’t meant to be.
UNC Basketball Twitter had the appropriate reaction to the Tar Heels’ collapse against the Jayhawks
It’s easy to say that a semifinal win over Duke would be considered the North Carolina National Championship and how they ended Coach K’s tenure in college basketball. But that was a semi-final match. This was the true national title game, and Kansas now holds its first title since 2008.
Everything was going well. Caleb Love and Brady Manek were in control and the Tar Heels line-up was shooting, blocking and moving hard. The second half proved to be a different story, as UNC couldn’t hold out against David McCormack, Christian Braun, and the rest of the Jayhawks arsenal. Armando Bacot’s loss in the final seconds didn’t help either.
It’s a bittersweet end to a wonderful season by Tar Heels. They may have finished the Coach K race in college basketball and advanced to the National Championship as an 8 seed.
However, this will not reduce the loss of the KS bite.
