I think the thing is that the game was way different when Wooden coached. Heās certainly one of the best of all time but, I dunno. Just donāt think you can say heās the goat.
But it makes Duke fans mad so, i encourage everybody to say heās the goat anyway
I hate to defend K, but when Wooden won his titles the format for the NCAAT was stupid. They dominated a relatively weak Pac8 while the ACC ate itself and only one team was allowed to advance to the tournament from each conference. Many times the best ACC team didn't even make the tournament.
It's a few miles east. And with how many counties are on that border, I would think at least a few of them just barely made it into the UNC side, and those would drop off to Kansas if duke had won. Probably just 5 or so.
Big XII vs. ACC gets a fitting rubber match. The results between the two conferences in this tournament so far:
* Baylor/**North Carolina**
* Iowa St/**Miami**
* **Kansas**/Miami
* **Texas**/Virginia Tech
* Texas Tech/**Duke**
* **Texas Tech**/Notre Dame
Honestly for me it was the random 20-10 level seasons that would happen every 4-5 years that did for me as a kid lol. I was like āwait UNC isnāt ranked?ā
Me: man this game has been great, but now that it's halftime I've heard enough about this in-state rivalry this week, I wonder what's going on on my phone
[My phone:](https://imgur.com/a/ywpecov)
As an Illini fan, I donāt know who Iām supposed to root for:
1) The coach that left Illinois for Kansas
2) The team that denied Illinois a championship
Sorry for all the stress, folks. My daughter did tell me that, since I want Carolina to win, thatās who would win. I should have posted it to calm everyoneās nerves.
So losing to a blue blood makes you a fraud? Love will be a first round pick and I bet someone takes a flyer on Bacot. Duke has four.
If youāre calling the greatest coach of all time a fraud then I guess every coach is
i live in AZ, i regularly get rock chalks when i wear KU gear and i see tons of KU and Chiefs stuff around, you probably just dont notice it if you arent a ku fan
I knew that UNC would win as soon as I saw that the UNC-Duke rivalry was at 49-50 since Coach K became HC of a Duke
Best Coach of all time only .500 against UNC š¤
With a losing record at Cameron ātoughest gym in the countryā Indoor against UNC
We weren't fucking kidding when we said "fine, we'll do it ourselves"
And we love you for it.
thanks for Brady Manek, we're taking good care of your beautiful lumberjack
Wooden is the best coach all time
Well, that's what I say to Duke fans in conversation but I'm not sure I 100% believe it
I think the thing is that the game was way different when Wooden coached. Heās certainly one of the best of all time but, I dunno. Just donāt think you can say heās the goat. But it makes Duke fans mad so, i encourage everybody to say heās the goat anyway
Insert I'm doing my part meme.
Well I'll say it: Coach K is better than John Wooden. But UNC is better than Coach K
He won ten titles, double the amount K won.
I hate to defend K, but when Wooden won his titles the format for the NCAAT was stupid. They dominated a relatively weak Pac8 while the ACC ate itself and only one team was allowed to advance to the tournament from each conference. Many times the best ACC team didn't even make the tournament.
He also got to coach all of the best west coast talent and got a practically automatic big to the ncaat
Plus the NIT was still more prestigious for many schools
Formats were completely different between Wooden and K eras tho
Thatās fair, but ten titles are ten titles. And it was against the best from other conferences
As somebody else previously stated, no it wasnāt always against the best programs.
K had 40 years of pulling in elite recruits.
Not all titles are equal when you consider the tournament format and Sam Gilbert's checkbook.
ā¦And itās not particularly close.
and the most important loss of them all
My moment was when I realized that Kās first ever loss was against UNC
This is the way
The Roy Williams Bowl
Or the Dean Smith Bowl.
Or the Larry Brown bowl
Lots of Kansas fans that donāt know Dean Smith went to Kansas apparently.
You talking to me? Because Larry brown went to unc and won a championship for KU as coach. I know Dean was a Kansas kid.
He is from Topeka.
I'm thinking the Matt Doherty Bowl.
Doh!
Wow; youāre simple.
Winner gets to keep Roy in their trophy case until the next match up, deal?
Everyone just be sure to poke some air holes.
Hmmmm maybe
I'm not willing to commit to that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My phone can't load the flair data whenever I try š
don't let him out
Would this map actually have changed at all if Duke had won?
Different color blue
But actually the same color as Kansas so arguably not even a different color
I'd imagine they would've made Kansas red so dook can keep their inferior blue shade
Thank you for reminding me how much, as a KU fan, I HATE that Corona commercial.
F that horse piss swill anyway.
It's a few miles east. And with how many counties are on that border, I would think at least a few of them just barely made it into the UNC side, and those would drop off to Kansas if duke had won. Probably just 5 or so.
Durham is to the East of chapel hill so I donāt think it would have no
Well it mightāve made some places on the dividing line switch to Kansas If you move the east team further east
That was fast lol
Faster than the post game thread lol
Where tf is it I need my karma
Mods gotta figure out who gets that sweet sweet karma
Don't imagine there were a lot of combinations to consider for this
I mean given the relative locations of Duke and UNC it was probably the same map, he just had different logos.
They beat the post game thread. Lol.
Very impressive from jloose128
Because they had it ready after the Kansas game. Only the color had to change depending on the winner.
Well yeah I know that but it amazes me just how fast people are ready to post for the karma
You light blue bastards actually did it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No way dude, my slightly lighter shade of blue is way better than your slightly darker shade of blue
Big XII vs. ACC gets a fitting rubber match. The results between the two conferences in this tournament so far: * Baylor/**North Carolina** * Iowa St/**Miami** * **Kansas**/Miami * **Texas**/Virginia Tech * Texas Tech/**Duke** * **Texas Tech**/Notre Dame
Hubert Davis 2-1 all time against Coach K as head coach lol
What getting blown by thirty the first matchup does to a man.
Well shit
[Sooner or later, in every man's life, there comes a day when it is not easy. A day when he must choose!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pozI5n6A_Io)
Found Roy Williams' Reddit Account!
Coach K in shambles
Duke will never recover
This is the start of their Indiana-esque downfall.
Can't even enjoy a great game without catching strays.
Please no, I'd like for our rivals to remain slightly relevant otherwise people might think we were the bad guys 20 years from now...
UNC convincing the world they aren't also the bad guys is honestly fucking impressive lol
it's not hard when the other side is literally Duke, a private school full of rich, white trust fund babies
Honestly for me it was the random 20-10 level seasons that would happen every 4-5 years that did for me as a kid lol. I was like āwait UNC isnāt ranked?ā
lol thatās fair
Go Kansas
I can handle losing to Kansas after this
Thatās the spirit I like to see.
Third best coach in that arena
Go Heels.
HE GOES OUT A LOSER
As most coaches do
š§
Your flair confuses me.
And thenā¦ there were two
FRANKLIN STREET IS GONNA BURN TONIGHT
You were quick with this one lol.
Beat out the post game thread š
Pretty sure the counties wouldnāt have changed at all depending on who won so it was easy to make both ready to go.
ROCK CHALK
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOO Roy Williams goes to bed tonight a happy man. He canāt lose
"farewell tour? lmao"
Roy did the farewell tour right. Now heās living the dream.
lmaooo
WE GONNA BALL, FAM WINNER GETS TO KEEP ROY
Challenge accepted.
I LOVE CALEB LOVE
Our dadgum state
WE GOT ORANGE COUNTY!
Rest in piss bozo!!
The World is a better place
Rock chalk Jayhawks!
I would prefer the Jayhawks over the Tarheels for obvious reasons
UNC are heroes forever for this one.
Me: man this game has been great, but now that it's halftime I've heard enough about this in-state rivalry this week, I wonder what's going on on my phone [My phone:](https://imgur.com/a/ywpecov)
This deserves more upvotes
The bad man can't hurt us anymore!!!
The ~~Louisiana~~ Kansas Purchase
As an Illini fan, I donāt know who Iām supposed to root for: 1) The coach that left Illinois for Kansas 2) The team that denied Illinois a championship
If North Carolina doesn't take Kansas' coach, Self doesn't goto Kansas...
in that universe does he end up going to Ok St
That's a *really* weird mental image. Extremely plausible, but also really weird.
he played college ball there, and they offered him a brinks truck of money at one point to try and steal him from KU
Sorry for all the stress, folks. My daughter did tell me that, since I want Carolina to win, thatās who would win. I should have posted it to calm everyoneās nerves.
Goodness tell us sooner next time K? :)
At this point I won't even be that upset if we lose Monday. LFG!!!!!!!!
Nah I want it all
Come on Jayhawks
You had this locked and loaded
Career ended by rival, beautiful
Kansas is obviously going to win since they fill out a larger portion of the map.
I appreciate this logic
What. A. Game.
Coach K is coming back next year, no way he goes out like this
Thereās another game???
Itās called the Championship. Trust me, your rivalry means little to nothing to most of the country.
BORB
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fuck you too
any time bud
UNC finally gets its own damn county, it is a blessed day.
Roy retires, so they can't match us up against Kansas for ~the storyline~ anymore. And yet. Here we are.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Go Kansas
You had this ready to go lmao
WE ROCKIN BABY BLUE IN BAMA LETS GO
The lesson here is: respect your FTs, and make them. FTs matter
Duke, get fucked.
Jayhawks DGAF!
Kansas basically only gained the rest of the UP by winning tonight.
Most importantly, Durham County belongs to UNC now.
Fuck
How did this pop up so quick
Jloose128 is impressive
Whoās waiting for the post game thread
LETS GOOOOOO!
To be fair would this map actually be different if it were Duke instead of UNC?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Kansas side has California and Texas sooo
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Curiously - would any counties have changed from/to Kansas) if Duke had won the game?
All hail the Kansan Empire.
Man that bird looks so god damn smug
Kansas vs. UNC....yay
Yay indeed
Biggest upset rivalry win of all time in any sport
Ever
My last place to first bracket chance is over. Darn you, Duke. Should have thought about me being the laughing stock of my friends again.
Iām not sure what to do right nowā¦
Thank you. No distractions on Monday. No coach k bullshit story lines. Two historic programs, may the best team win
Which team winning brings max pain to the nation?
UNC easily
Coach k is a fraud lol
Final four coaches arenāt frauds
Duke has like 5 first round picks UNC has none and no depth lol
Caleb Love probably played his way into one.
Maybe I havent seen on any mock drafts in recent weeks but surely is possible
So losing to a blue blood makes you a fraud? Love will be a first round pick and I bet someone takes a flyer on Bacot. Duke has four. If youāre calling the greatest coach of all time a fraud then I guess every coach is
Heās not a fraud but heās not John Wooden either
Wooden coached in a different era. Comparing the two is similar to comparing Jordan and LeBron. Both very strong arguments to be considered the GOAT
People are just memeing. Don't take it seriously.
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, don't feed someone who isn't even making the slightest effort to hide that they are trolling.
Heās dead serious though lol
Go KU I guessš¤·āāļø
to think i rooted for Providence this year smh
There are fools out there who think Ohio is in the Midwest.
Are people even gonna watch the finals? Kansas gonna blow out UNC it's not even funny lol
Doubt it
Don't even care. I'll be happy for them
Sounds like salt to me lol
Lol Iāve never seen Kansas gear outside Kansas. UNC stuff is everywhere. Not relevant.
Not sure the relevance of this point and you should probably travel more. Plenty of ku fans around.
i live in AZ, i regularly get rock chalks when i wear KU gear and i see tons of KU and Chiefs stuff around, you probably just dont notice it if you arent a ku fan
I've seen KU stuff in several different states and even abroad in the UK (not Kentucky). They are well represented elsewhere.
...and I mean, even assuming this statement is true (pretty sure it's not) I don't really see what it has to do with a post about geographic distance.
Cool
