Championship game of the tournament.  Texas is a 1-point favorite over the Tar Heels, on this "neutral" floor in the state of North Carolina.  

Defense has looked great so far this year, let's see if it holds.  For those looking to take work off early...do it. 

65 degrees at tip-off today, find an outside place to hoist a few in a socially distanced manner and enjoy this game.  As stated on another thread, we are 8-3 in our last 11 games with UNC.  

No jinx.

Because tonight is #11 WV-#1 Gonzaga and #5 Illinois - #2 Baylor

A top 20 matchup isn't going to usurp a top 5 matchup and a top 11 matchup. 

Put it on the ocho. Just annoyed it’s up against afternoon football and I’ll be driving home at the end.

Dude I'm amped at tonight's games, just like last night's. Today is a good day. 

This is how I feel.

I get to watch us, uninterrupted, this afternoon, and then watch 2 really good games tonight not involving Texas.

Not sure where you're seeing Texas as a favorite. I'm seeing a pick on one book, Texas as a 1 point dog on the other. 

It was the only line I could find this morning before sunrise.  Obviously, new shit has come to light man.  Sorry, these early season tournaments have late initial lines and they move quick and dirty since there's often just ~18 hours between games.  Plus my sportsbook in Vegas doesn't even go to bed until 7:00a central time.  Gimme a break.

I was just wondering where you got it from.

Honestly, cbssports.com and a coked-up bookie at 7:00a-CST.  Both had the same verified number, so I posted it.  

I'm just happy there's good hoops to watch later this afternoon and that even if we lose, we'll never do as bad in this tourney as we did the time we lost to Chaminade.

Yeah seems like it's TX +1 to TX -1 depending on where you're looking. Meaning it's effectively a pickem and books are trying to get the bets lined up money wise.

I mean, it's Shaka so ain't going anywhere near that spread.  But if you had told me a few months ago we'd be basically a push with the Tar Heels in a game in the state of North Carolina, I'd have thought you insane.  Then again, crowd ain't gonna be a factor.  But still.  Last year's Tar Heel shitshow aside, this is still a very talented UNC roster.  Not 2017 good, but damn good.  Going back in the mind's eye to when this field was announced, that we're playing for 1st or 2nd place is mind-bottling.

Haven’t had a chance to watch much of UNC yet. What are their strengths? Are they gonna try to beat us up inside?

I watched some of that Stanford game yesterday.

They out-rebounded Stanford by 20 but they turned it over 24 times.  That's fucking awful.  Their FT shooting sucked too. 

It was close because they turned it over and couldn't hit FT.
