The North Carolina Tar Heels are just moments away from their first game in the NCAA Tournament against San Diego State. The time between Selection Sunday and tonight seemed to crawl a bit, mostly because media analysts have spent the last day and a half crashing out over the fact that they did not think UNC should’ve made this tournament.
Allow me to take a moment to get on my soap box about that for a moment so that I can get it out of my system: if a team led in just about every metric against the rest of the bubble, was a mistake away from beating the best team in the country, the decision didn’t have Bubba Cunningham’s fingerprints anywhere near it, then what you have at the end of the day is a bunch of grown men crying because their predictions were wrong.
