Havent been on the thread so apologies if this is a stale take, but does Bacot remind anyone else of Ricky Mahorn? (Appearance more than game, but a little of that too)
Maybe in the eyes and a bit in the mouth? It's hard to tell with such a huge difference in amount of hair.

The bigs aren't the ones getting the rebounds 15 feet from the basket.
The bigs are quicker to the ball and tipping it out to the Kansas guards. This happened several times…..McCormack beat two UNC bigs to the ground for that loose ball too.

Kansas looks a bit worse than I expected.. not sure if Carolina's top five can stay with them the whole game though.

That was insanely good defense by Manek to make that block.

And the defense on Agbaji has been spectacular.

Love loves the dagger a bit too much at times.. really nice when it works out, but a bit frustrating when it doesn't

Kansas' shooters are definitely hesitating down low.. nice that Bacot can go tonite.

Kansas has completely fallen apart the past 10 minutes. Banked in a 3 to make it 18-14, 22-4 run the other way since

Kansas looks like they woke up this morning and forgot they had a basketball game to play.
They came out on fire outworking UNC, quicker everywhere and up 11-5. Since then the Heels outscored them 35-14. They did the same to Duke early in the 2H on Saturday. This team!

I hope not
This is far from over

and Kansas was playing 9 while Carolina was playing 6
Ha.. I thought you were talking about the reffing, but now I get it..

I think Kansas could outrun them possibly, but they're also in a bit of foul trouble... and it's not like their bench is dominating. I worry about Bacot's ankle after the half, but Carolina has also been playing like this for months (with a very, very short bench).. their stamina hasn't flagged at all yet...they've been able to run all game. Probably an advantage in the college game with shorter halves and younger players.

edit: to be clear I think the reffing has been pretty even

Carolina needs to settle back down..pass it and get better shots. Not like they haven't been able to find open looks.

Terrible play by Manek to not recognize he was inside of the circle. You need to get out of the way there.

Duke lent Kansas their refs for the 2nd half
Yeah.. there have been some pretty weak calls so far.. but Carolina hans't really deserved to get anything on the offensive end yet.

edit except Bacot is getting zero calls down low.
edit 2: except for that one
