Cardi B and celebrities like her are fortunate enough to not have to care about who the president or any elected official is bc the decisions they make likely will not affect them.
The rest of us don’t have that luxury.

Bill Walton was spot on about the UNC/Duke rivalry:
More titles: UNC
More wins: UNC
More head to head wins: UNC
More ACC titles: UNC
More NBA success: UNC
Conversation over
Hubert Davis is going to have to coach UNC until the year 2065, win 6 national championships and lose to Duke in the national championship game to ever top what happened two weeks ago.
Why is this a such a different concept for some to grasp?
Since Michael Jordan retired in 2003, Duke has had 30 NBA draft picks to UNCs 25. In that span, UNC has 6 NBA titles to Duke’s 4 and 3 NCAA titles to Duke’s 2.
ALL 👏🏾 I 👏🏾 HEARD 👏🏾 BEFORE 👏🏾 THE 👏🏾 SEASON 👏🏾 WAS 👏🏾 ABOUT 👏🏾 CAROLINA 👏🏾 GETTING 👏🏾 SWEPT 👏🏾 THIS 👏🏾 YEAR 👏🏾
I need somebody to explain this to me pronto slim!
Got the ACC regular season title, the ACC COY, ACC POY, swept Duke, a probable 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and people are still outraged on an off night lol.
RJ Davis and Caleb Love are finalists for the 2024 Jerry West Award which is awarded to the best shooting guard in college basketball.
This award SHOULD go to one of them. They are 2 of the top 3 shooting guards in the sport, and neither of them are 3.
To underscore this, the last time NC State won 2 in a row versus UNC, Hubert Davis was a Detroit Piston, Roy Williams was still the Kansas coach and Cormac Ryan was 4 years old.
Confused as to why all the ESPN shows are not leading Monday off by talking about the UNC game Saturday night 🤔. We all had to be nauseated by the build up so gimme that same energy on the back end.
Caleb Love scored the final 4 points from the free throw line to end the career of Coach Michael Krzdkevueoxauoski in an 81-77 victory for UNC in the 2022 Final Four.

Nobody could save this group. Not Hubert Davis, not Roy Williams, not GG Jackson. Nobody.
We played out of our mind for 6 games and Caleb Love hit a hero shot and we got bedazzled when all the while it was lipstick on a pig.
Some notable recent NCAA tournament luck for UNC:
- KM breaks wrist in ‘12
- Play KU in 2nd rnd in Kansas City in ‘13
- Layup with 1.8 seconds left in L to ISU in ‘14
- Jenkins buzzer beater in ‘16
- Naz Little/Cam Johnson flu vs Auburn in ‘19
- Bacots ankle vs KU in ‘22
UNC fans: We ruined K’s farewell season and made the title game with a first-year alum coach.
Two weeks later: An endless loop of Kris Jenkins’ shot as Jay Wright retires.

I’m watching that first UNC/Duke game from last year and I completely forgot people making such a big deal over UNC not giving Coach K a gift on his way out. How damn ridiculous was that? 😂
I have won 1100 less games than Coach K, but help me understand why burning Joey Baker’s redshirt 26 games into the season makes more sense than playing two other scholarship players (Bolden, White) who’ve played meaningful minutes the entire year.
Also a good time to remind people that the UNC System Board of Governors is comprised of people that are elected by the NC General Assembly...which is majority a conservative makeup.
Elections matter.
Gonzaga lost to a team in their conference tournament that they beat previous the last two times by a combined 62 points.
UNC lost to two top 5 teams this year over 4 games by a total of 9 points.
But by virtue of being located in Washington, Gonzaga will get the west
#1
seed
I don’t care what else is said, last year’s Duke team (based strictly on talent and subsequent draft status) was the worst coaching job of Coach K’s illustrious career.
That was a title team without question.
Those two games against Kentucky that year were two of the single best college basketball games I’ve ever seen. Elite players, coaches, programs, shot making, clutch moments. Had it all.
