of the NIT. But they lost to the mighty Dayton Flyers!

Dayton 79, North Carolina 68

will they hang a banner for a championship appearance?

Happy can not even begin to describe my feelings about this.

Dayton played a really great game. They hit big shots when they needed to, & even a few when they didn't need to, just for good measure.

I have no idea if they will hang a banner or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

On another note, its nice to see the devils representing the ACC in the F4. Coach K is obviously a great coach (rivalry hatred aside). In fact, I'm surprised he hasn't won a few more national championships than he has.

We're number 67!

I love your math, 01: final 64 + AR-Pine Bluff + Dayton + UNC = 67

The Flyers ... the new standard for the Tarheels to try and reach as a program.

I think as much as some of us would like this to be more than a one year phenomenom, UNC isn't likely to stay in that neighborhood for long.

On the other hand, it might be a very good standard for LU.

A backhanded compliment to Coach K? I'll take it.

Not to be all nit-picky, but it was Winthrop that was #65.

Because AR-Pine Bluff was the last school in the final 64?

ARPB and Winthrop were 64A and 64B, ARPB beat Winthrop, so Winthrop is really 65.

Fairly dumb argument by everybody here. As if the tournament is of the top 65 teams in the country.
