Remember when we talked about UNCs luck? How about the Red Sea parting in their bracket?
Hopefully St Peter’s can continue the Cinderella story

They beat the highest seed possible in each round to reach this position, including two FF teams from last year and last year’s champion.

Yes they have a few quality wins but the two and three seeds they should have had to go though have all been bounced

The Red Sea parting is having to beat a 1 seed and a 4 seed, and win their 8/9 matchup? Lol. Okaaaay.

UNC is good and deserves to be there. The Peacock game will be interesting.

Hope we can give them a run for their money this November!

You mean the "Conference of Champions?"

I can't find the post, but I'm wondering how that BIG10 advancement formula is working for them now. LOL

So, completely get there is an element of unc playing well. But, it figures St Peter’s would remember they are St Peter’s when they are playing UNC. This is the exact type of stuff I’m talking about. GO DUKE!

Wow. All kinds of salty. First, you inexplicably try to argue the Red Sea parted for Carolina to make the 8. Now you just sound like a bitter ex GF.

It happens every time man. They catch more breaks than anyone! I didn’t really argue it, I made a factual statement. The 2 and 3 team got knocked out in front of them. That’s a factual statement

A break? St. Peters beat Kentucky and Purdue. Carolina shut them down completely, dominated the boards. I wanted St. Peters to win, but Carolina was too much. I'm really looking forward to the Duke/Carolina game now.

Your factual statement, as you put it, remarkably left out the actual fact that they beat a 9 seed, a 1 seed, then a 4 seed. That’s three top 10 seeds, and two top 5 seeds. On top of that, they were demolishing a 1 seed prior to one of their top contributors getting ejected.

Had St Peters won today, would you have given the same “Red Sea parting” comment to Duke and Coach K reaching another national championship?

If catching a break, is having to beat a 1 seed and a 4 seed to get to the elite 8, I’m going to question that every time.

You say this like I’m a Duke fan, I’m not. I just despise Carolina, and all their Walmart fans that were in hiding until they beat Duke then all of a sudden they are waiving flags again. Biggest bandwagon in college basketball. And for the record Duke played the highest seed they could play every round with the exception of Arkansas and they were a 4

Lol. Only person making you out to be a Duke fan is yourself with the “Go Duke!” thing. I figured you just hate Carolina. You coulda been an NC State or Wake fan for all I knew or cared. You’re defending yourself from yourself, because you’ve done a few mental somersaults in this thread.

Lol

For real though, you just sound bitter. Admit you were wrong about the “catching a break” / “Red Sea parting” stuff. It won’t kill you. You seem like a respectable fella, albeit one that will argue for the sake of arguing.

I'm not wrong. The 2 and 3 seed got taken out ahead of them. They had to face a #15 to go to the final 4, that's is literally the first time ever that anyone had to beat a seed as low as 15 to go to the final 4. Carolina played really well, but St Peters also laid an egg and certainly didn't play or shoot the way they had all tourney.
And the Go Duke, is me rooting for anyone that is playing Carolina. If Carolina played the Taliban, i'd strap on a turban and call it a day!

Did they catch a break in the round of 8, sure

But they didn't catch any breaks before that

Only one of the four Final Four teams played and beat a #1 seed to get to the last weekend, and that is the team we're supposed to believe "always gets lucky". Was Duke lucky to avoid the #1 overall seed in Gonzaga? Was Villanova lucky to avoid Illinois and Arizona? Kansas surely was lucky to get to play a lowly #10 seed in the E8 matchup, right?

Of course not. Their accomplishments are well earned and they are deserving to still be playing. Only one team was lucky and it just so happens to be UNC, the team that Hoops hates with a passion. But, don't be confused, these are just unbiased facts.

We already talked about who Duke beat to get there, and yes they did get lucky to not have to face the Zags but they also beat the highest seeds possible in the two previous rounds. You beat a 15 seed to go to the final 4 that is the first time that's ever, repeat EVER happened. That is an an unbiased factual statement.

Right, it's factually accurate to state that Carolina beat Saint Peter's in the E8. Was that your intended contribution to the conversation? To state a fact that EVERYONE knew? Thanks Cpt Obvious.

That fact isn't what is being challenged. You took that meaningless fact and inserted opinions such as "Red Sea parting for Carolina" and "they always get lucky". Those comments reflect your biased opinion, and that is what has been challenged.

I wish someone could tell us the total values of of collective seeds beat to reach a final 4. I'm betting this year Carolina would be top 5 at the very least. THAT would support my Red sea parting statement which most i've talked to out side of whine n cheese country seem to agree with

Carolina and Duke have played exactly the same seed value THIS season. They're tied for the most difficult route to the FF this season. Kansas' route was slightly more difficult than Nova who faced the easiest path to the FF this year. So, yeah, the most difficult route to the FF of the teams in 2022 is most likely one of the top 5 easiest pathways of all time. Your opinions are based on hate, not FACT.

Nova, for reference, faced the following seeds: 15, 7, 11, 5. Share that with your circle of friends.
