Devin Robinson said loss in E8 could motivate him to come back for senior season, but hasn't made mind up yet #Gators

Clemson FB title, Coastal Carolina baseball title, USC MBB Final 4, USC Women Elite 8, Dustin Johnson. Yep, the Palmetto State runs sports.

USC basketball team will be back at Colonial Life Arena around 10:00 tonight. Frank Martin and Ray Tanner will address the crowd.

[PonderinHog]

Cry Cal cry...

[PonderinHog]

Bam scores!

[jbcarol]

 Kyle Tucker‏ @KyleTucker_SEC 4s4 seconds ago

Bam put-back, Willis block. UK down one and BBN is rocking now.

[PonderinHog]

Does Joel Berry look like Rick Fox or not?

[XavierZane]

Four fouls on NC, one on KY so far.

[jbcarol]

 Kyle Tucker‏ @KyleTucker_SEC 3m3 minutes ago

That was a 6-0 run for UK to open the second half, as UNC has missed nine straight FG. But third foul on Willis, 17:17. Heels lead again.

[Atlhogfan1]

This game is awful.  Only thing good about it is score is close.  Sloppy.  Poor shot selection.

[PonderinHog]

Bam wanted that more.

[jbcarol]

UK 51  UNC 55  9:00 CBS

 Daggum Roy‏ @DaggumRoy 4m4 minutes ago

Thought this Munx feller was a player.

[jbcarol]

 Kyle Tucker‏ @KyleTucker_SEC 42s42 seconds ago

Kentucky has led just 18 seconds total today, by the way.

[XavierZane]

UNC has had every chance to put this away, but they are letting KY hang around. 

[jbcarol]

 Kyle Tucker‏ @KyleTucker_SEC 2m2 minutes ago

Isaac Humphries had 8 total points in the previous 11 games.

[Atlhogfan1]

NC like Fl.  Can't hit shots even when open

[PonderinHog]

Fox to the hole.

[PonderinHog]

NC like Fl.  Can't hit shots even when open

If either team could make free throws.

Let's see if ky folds up 5 late

[XavierZane]

UNC should have been attacking the Monk, Fox, and the other KY players in foul trouble all half.  Instead KY has been called for four fouls so far this half. 

[Dr. Starcs]

UNC should have been attacking the Monk, Fox, and the other KY players in foul trouble all half.  Instead KY has been called for four fouls so far this half. 

Yep. Unc offense has been awful.

[PonderinHog]

Was that a clean block on Bam?

[Dr. Starcs]

Also, can The Wolf just get that mole removed already?!  You know she's got the $$$

I swear that thing doubles in size every year.

[hoglady]

Was that a clean block on Bam?

I sure would like to see a replay on that.

[Dr. Starcs]

Ol Roy better calm down. I see a vertigo spell coming on.

[PonderinHog]

And Monk has disappeared...

[TNhawgfan]

Deja vu for the tar heels against the SEC

[XavierZane]

Jackson should get player of the game.  The defensive clamp he's put on Monk, and leading his team in scoring?  Impressive!

And always great to see a 50% ft shooter come up clutch late.

Monk!!  LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

See if those kensuckyfans welcome you back! 

[PonderinHog]

Monk!!  LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

See if those kensuckyfans welcome you back!

His belongings will be on the curb when he gets back to Lexington.

[TNhawgfan]

Monk!!  LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

See if those kensuckyfans welcome you back!

Not like he's ever going back to campus or class after the game

[jbcarol]

UK 70  UNC 73  :14.7

[jbcarol]

Did Monk get his basket too soon?

[PonderinHog]

Cal, do you have your list of  excuses handy?

[PonderinHog]

Did Monk get his basket too soon?

Or not enough, too late.

[PonderinHog]

Heartbroken Kentucky fans.  Their tears are delicious!

Roy: It's the same thing as Arkansas

[jbcarol]

https://twitter.com/marchmadness/status/846141959945248770

[XavierZane]

YES! 

[TNhawgfan]

Monk is pretty clutch...glad I'll never have to watch him in a big college game again

[jbcarol]

Final Four's place on NCAA committee's original seed list:

3. UNC
4. Gonzaga
9. Oregon
26. South Carolina

[LRHog]

I know he's just a kid... but I kind want him to be the biggest bust in NBA history and see him come crawling back to Arkansas and have to work at the Alma Sonic.

[Hogz87]

Luke Maye is a 3-star player who had D1 offers from "lesser" schools relative to UNC, but chose to come to UNC as a preferred walk-on last year.

He's arguably been their most important player in this tournament with some big games and just hit a game-winner with 0.3 left in UNC's Elite Eight game to send them to the Final Four.
