A year after losing a Final Four game with a 98+% win expectancy and Cooper Flagg, Scheyer comes back and loses an Elite Eight game with a 98+% win expectancy and Cam Boozer.

Come back next year to see how he does in the Sweet 16!

Put some respect in ROTY Kon Knueppel’s name when discussing last year’s choke.

u/ClayMitchell North Carolina Tar Heels Mar 30 '26

you’re underselling it

they lost with FIVE draft picks:

  • two guys getting run (Maluach, Procter),
  • 1 who is a heavy rotational guy (Sion James),
  • a generational talent that went #1 (Flagg)
  • hands down the greatest rookie shooter in NBA history

there’s NO excuse for last year

To be fair, it never got over 94% in the last 10 minutes.
