Loose boards cause falls?

The video (in the tweet, in the article) shows the floorboard moving when Bacot goes down. Now I want to see if Manek tripped on an edge in the final seconds.
I don’t remember which article it was I read, but the joke was KU had used some voodoo dolls for all the injuries to the opposition thru out the tournament.

Manek was on the opposite side of the lane from where Bacot rolled his ankle. He stepped on Och's foot trying to get around a screen.
Re: Loose boards cause falls?
A lot of BS opinions from sports media personalities that KU wasn't better than UNC, just "healthier".
Re: Loose boards cause falls?
Doesn't matter.
By the end of the season i believe UNC was a top 10 team. And we beat them.
Champs.

Re: Loose boards cause falls?
From a UNC perspective, I get it. It's commonplace for fans to cling to some excuse for why their team didn't REALLY lose or get outplayed. Usually it's the refs. UNC had injuries so that's what they can hang their hat on.
Re: Loose boards cause falls?
That board was definitely loose.
But more to blame is how out of sorts and sped up our defense made them in the second half - and, when down 3, taking Steph Curry distance guarded 3's to tie rather than maybe moving the ball to find a better shot.

The floor is designed to to that and had nothing to do with his ankle roll. Frankly, the springiness of the floor probably allowed him to play as well as he did despite the severely sprained ankle he clearly has.

It's no different than Trumpers seeing people unloading crates out of a van and assuming that someone is bringing in ballots to cheat when it's actually just a bunch of camera equipment. We see what we want to see. As you said, it's commonplace for fans to find a way to blame someone else for their team's failures.UnholyLivingDead wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 8:17 am From a UNC perspective, I get it.

Dave's foot was bothering him all season.
Remy just came back from a lingering knee injury.
Pettiford was out.

No one made excuses for us when Alexander, Embiid, Dok and Covid happened.
Get over it, unc. Maybe next year.

I'm sorry I posted this. I wish I had read the twitter conversation first.
I have found UNC fans to be remarkably complimentary this year (and I read their boards).
With the exception of the one person who wrote this little ditty that I linked to (which I will now refer to as clickbait), other UNC fans have shot it down as not factual and, better yet, just the destiny of the game.

Re: Loose boards cause falls?
There's still a few out there arguing (with me) about it. It's all good. Honestly, they have handled this loss better than most other teams we beat. No one but KSU and Mizzou fans are whining about the refs.DrPepper wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 8:53 am I'm sorry I posted this. I wish I had read the twitter conversation first.

They kinda were playing with a ton of house money.
Hubert's first season?
Sending their bitter rival's longtime coach with two L's that will be etched into his/their history forever?
In the Final Four? As an 8 seed?
Yea.
That's pretty good.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Re: Loose boards cause falls?
but seriously, what a hilarious excuse
and yes, they were injured and banged up, but is that KU’s fault?
excuses are like assholes…

Imagine if Norm Stewart had coached for four more seasons and announced his retirement in Bill Self's first year. And imagine they, MIZZOU, were a possible 1/2 seed that season.
Then imagine Simien, Langford, Miles and Giddens blowing them out in Colombia.
Then imagine, we met them in an elite 8 game, us an 8 seed and them a 2, for their first chance at a Final Four and we won. Then went on to loose in the title game.
It'd be like that.
I remember just being happy with that elite 8 v GTech.
