Yes, they lived by the 3 and missed at the end. Still they were a great team but had to come back from 15. Congratulations the Jeff and everyone who had Carolina. They saw something in the team long before a lot of us did. Something that didn't become apparent to me until the second half of the Michigan State game. Brad Doherty recruited most of them but it took Roy Williams to get them to play like a team. Still Doherty must be wondering what could have been.

The game seemed to have everything: spurts, runs, lead changes, a dramatic comeback, etc. When this game is dissected, which games of this magnitude always are, I think people will question why it seemed IL diagrammed 3-point plays in the final minute and change only down a two. IL did have some good looks, but threes are still low percentage plays. In any event, hats off to Roy Williams for finally capping a storied career. He really handled himself well when asked ad nauseum how it felt to never win the big one and now will be remembered as nothing but a winner. - Jeff
