ACCT Champ game

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

Anybody watching this? Carolina is falling apart. Had a solid 9 pt lead and ND just went on a 15-0 run in less than 3 minutes. 11 of those points came in 1:07.

I didn't think I would be able to watch this game but I was wrong. I couldn't stay away. Gotta. See. UNC. Lose.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

22-2 run. Roy looks dumbfounded.

 

[dukiejay]

It's a 22-2 run right now for ND....up 12 at the under four timeout. Hopefully the Irish can hang on.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Hell yeah!!! I'm loving it! The Heels and fans thought they had this one, but ND has taken over!

OFC

 

[shicashicu]

Couldn't even watch any of it. Watched Bobby Hurley take Buffalo to their first ever Big Dance in Hurley's first ever year there and am walking my dog now following it a little on ESPN.com gamecast.

Sure didn't want Tarholes winning but watching out of state teams now take our title 4 str8 years wasn't exactly pleasing to me either. This sux, everyone knows this was our freakin Title!

Sigh

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

I'd rather be the ones doing this to Carolina though. Glad they blew it, but I'm bitter.

 

[HuffyJB]

In this last 8 or so minutes ND has been unbelievable.

 

[HuffyJB]

Just as I type that ND turns it over twice against a half court trap. UNC didn't capitalize though.

 

[dukiejay]

Hey....Roy just used his final timeout.

There will undoubtedly be a banner to commemorate this moment.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

I would've bet a lot of money that Carolina would win this game. I am shocked.

 

[HuffyJB]

Notre Dame is definitely a worthy champion. They have had a terrific year, and they played really great this weekend.

Same here.

 

[shicashicu]

Incredible stat here:

ND 10-20 from 3, UNC 7-23...but the killer was ND 28-32 FTs, UNC 5-7.

I sure am not complaining but our game was strangely similar with ND being on the line and seemingly never missing and Duke barely doin anything or getting fouled much. Very interesting seeing how this is Tobacco Road, our home. Guess the refs enjoy every out of state team winning every year from now on.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Congrats ND, and thank you and I still hate you

 

[skysdad]

Wake up the daggum echo's Tar Heels. Yeah you were 2nd. place and got farther than we did. You gonna hang a banner for that? Here's something you can start whining about. UNC free throws 5/7. ND 28/32. Go get Swofford to check into that. Looks like the Irish may indeed have a big pot of gold. Really there should be an investigation into this.

OFC

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I do get sick of unc fans whining about refs

 

[Showenuff]

Bittersweet, shoulda been us kicking that Heel ass. Third time. Glad they lost though.

 

[dukiejay]

Grant and Jackson get into the lane at will....that's what gets them all those free throws.

 

[Dad2ze]

It's down right sad that they complain every game about it.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Hahaha, I haven't had time to go visit THR, but you can bet your bottom dollar they're screaming about the free throw discrepancy. How sweet it is!

Yeah, I hate that we weren't playing tonight. I put my daughter to bed and came downstairs to see the Heels up eight and thought it was over. I let out the dogs and in the two minutes I was standing out on the deck ND went on an 11-0 run.

 

[crazyduke3]

I wonder if ND being acc Champs helps dukes case? The whole, "Lost to a really good team"



Super awesome for Mike Brey.

It probably doesn't hurt....but really, I think we're going to be a #1 seed regardless.

 

[Dad2ze]

They are complaining about the refs as usual and that Duke gets all the calls because K is tight with the ACC and NCAA

 

[Showenuff]

 

[JIMSOULS]

Happy for Mike Brey. He is an offensive mastermind, and his teams are always fun to watch. He gets killed for the defense ND plays, but you've got to hand it to him for having an excellent defensive plan against Duke. A classic case of the student schooling the teacher.

I'm the same way. Glad UNC lost but I still feel gross. The ACC title belongs somewhere else.

 

[DevilDJ]

 

[JIMSOULS]

Interesting how Brey had to move to the ACC to accomplish this. I guess ND finally won a conference title because they are now in a league where the teams (outside of UVA) don't play such great defense, while the Big East was a gritty, defensive-minded conference.

 

[gottagonow]

Read what Kerseysay#1 or whatever his name is saying in the game thread about the refs as its really hilarious reading. That dude is filled with so much hatred towards everything imaginable, more hate than can be described. Never has he seen a game so ruined by the refs.

ofc

 

[GoDuke'13]

I watched the whole thing. Entertaining game. Thought Carolina had it when they were up by 8 in the second half, It just had that feeling to it. But what an incredible run by ND, the game turned around in an instant. Good job Irish!

Notre Dame's style of basketball better suits the ACC. Teams defend in the ACC, but it isn't near as physical as the old Big East.

Notre Dame is good. They earned this title.

That guy is certifiably insane. I have encountered some bitter, clueless, moronic individuals in my many days on this earth, and this guy has to be one of the worst.

 

[Heyman25]

Tip of the hat to Notre Dame. They won the title fair and square, but maybe the Scar Heels don't think so. This is dedicated to those lost souls. OFC

 

[kingbluedevil]

Carolina fans say they would like a day off before the championship game. They don't realize not everybody in this tournament is from North Carolina.

Heyman, you know that had to gripe those Tar Heel butts! They had home court advantage...actually it was better than that because the fans at Greensboro were into the game much better than any Dean Dome crowd. And they still couldn't win the dang game.

You are exactly right, dirt. UNC probably had 21,000 fans to poor old ND's small crowd. Great victory for the Irish, and at least I don't have to listen to the butt holes from Carolina about winning the ACC. OFC
