Carolina played terribly. Gonzaga also wasn’t good. And the refereeing nearly suffocated the life out of the second half, making everyone miserable.
But I enjoyed it.
Somehow my alma mater, the UNC Tar Heels, managed to play two of their worst games all season on Saturday and Monday and still won the national championship. Saturday’s game was particularly absurd, with the Heels missing four consecutive free throws at the end yet still managing to secure a one-point win over Oregon. Last night’s final versus Gonzaga was similarly tenuous throughout, with only a lucky break or three during the last couple of minutes swinging things UNC’s way in the end.
