In Chapel Hill. Eagles pretty much led from start to finish. Just shows how hard it is to go undefeated.

I know this post shouldn't be here....but I'm both SMU and UNC fan. It's a really sad day. I know that UNC would have a bad day...but with all the talents.....I thought they would be able to pull it off. It's really hard to take this lost at home.

Coach Williams will take down the basket and have them practice defense all day now.

I thought this team might be the one that could pull the perfect season. It'll be hard now for any team to get a perfect season with all these one-and-done kids.

glad to see UNC go down. Coach Doh is the only person w/ UNC ties of whom I'm a fan.

Ditto! He's the only Tar Heel worth cheering for.

I'm surprised it wasn't Maryland that knocked them off. Seems like the Terps get them every year or two.

Can't stand Roy Williams. Love to see that guy lose.

You never know. If the Eagles don't have a very good ACC season and get knocked out early in the conference tournament, they could not make the NCAA tournament. I don't think Al Skinner had the Harvard game listed as a question mark.

So it's imperative for them to put this game behind them. They've got an interesting week coming up with Miami (Fla.) and Wake Forest. We'll see then if the UNC game was a fluke or not.

It was a fluke, no one is expecting anything of BC in the ACC this year. Also, Amaker is going to dominate the Ivy's in a year or two. He's recruiting at a completely different level then you see at most Ivy's. He's a horrible coach, but the rubber will meet the road soon for Harvard. Just too much talent in a league w/o any
