I know but I think Duke would've beaten Georgia Tech and Kentucky probably beats Butler
No doubt about either IMO. That Georgia Tech team was pretty lousy for a finalist.

Side note I was at that Final Four and to this day will never forgive K for leaving Shelden Williams and Shavlick Randolph in to each pick up a 3rd foul while Okafor was on the bench.

So apparently JP Tokoto is entering the draft.  I am confused.

I've been amazed how many mock polls have UNC a top-3 team next year.

Ouch burn Roy:

I feel like there can be a lot more to me as a player, more than just the defensive player who can occasionally dunk the ball, Tokoto told Yahoo Sports. I know I can be so much more, but Im not sure that Im pushed to be that much more [in college].

I want to focus on my game, working with trainers and pro coaches over the summer and next year. I think thatll give me the best chance to grow than staying in school and being that player that fit into the mold of my first three years [at Carolina].

He's got a far different take on what his role was than reality.  Roy never red-lighted him from taking bad jumpshots like he should have.  He was also one of the primary ballhandlers and distributors and often had the ball in his hands as they brought it up court, especially when Marcus Paige was at the point.
 
But I wish him well and hope it works out for him.
