Listen to the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
I'm so proud of this team I've been DieHard Hawks fan my whole life over 30 years and just the resielence and drive to win unbelievable!!!!!!
Brou living in Kansas opening was hilarious
Those emotions are what makes college sports so much better!
Exactly don’t get me wrong some NBA players care of course but most NBA players could care less until it’s the playoffs an even then a lot of them are just happy they got a playoff bonus on their checks lol
Love Chris Broussard and Nick’s bromance😂 underrated duo
I grew up a KU fan...still am...but I can freely and honestly say that I feel for the Carolina players....they played so great and so hard. They should definitely be proud of what they did.
I don't 😂😂😂 fuggem
Nick a Cuse basketball guy as I remember his time on radio in Kansas City.
UNC didn't gave away but, kansas played the way they used to play as always. Down by 9 points playing with Miami, down by 16 points playing with K state and so forth. This is the story about the Jayhawks.
I feel what Nick was saying, man. You get so emotionally invested in these teams and games! I was rooting for Carolina. They almost pulled it off! I do believe, however, that Kansas had the (slightly) better and obviously deeper team. That doesn't take away from Carolina at all. It was a very impressive performance given their limitations (do they have a big man other than Bacot?) and they almost did it!
Their gonna have to fix that in recruiting this year and get a deeper roster and more size
15 points blown and a 20+ rebound advantage.... poor Tarholes! 😂😂
As far as big men goes each team had a 6'10" player. And each teams next biggest was 6'9"
@@WAZOWSKI_58 preach. Can't tell these UNC fans nothing. All emotions and no logic when it comes to them.
All I could say for Carolina is The Greatest Effort
Nick Wright is a Missouri guy through and through. Can’t even give the Jayhawks his admiration and respect. Smh
Most KCMO roots for Kansas unless Missouri makes it to the sweet 16. We all move back and forth across the border all the time.
From the Missouri side of Kansas City. Have always loved and rooted for KU basketball. Started by watching Darnell Valentine at Kemper Arena. Had the fever ever since! Rock Chalk!
Never even been to Kansas.....too bad. 1 visit to Phog Alllen.....you will think differently about Kansas.
Lawrence is a very cool town - even if you're not a KU fan. I was on Mass Street in 2008 when KU won that title...was a great experience.
Yeah funny thing is that Phog Allen was from the Missouri side, but of course anyone from KC knows we move across the border all the time.
I know he is a Syracuse Grad but It's crazy for someone like Nick Wright that Grew Up 40 Miles from Lawrence in Kansas City, MO barely mentions KU.
He might have been a Mizzou fan growing up or something....beyond that, geography is not everything when it comes to sports teams. Many to most follow that...but not all.
@@ryandonovan5895 Of Course you are right. We do have to keep in mind that he went to Syracuse because of their High Ranking Broadcast School. Missouri has a Ranked Broadcast School as Well. So why did Syracuse appeal to him over that School in Columbia?
@@CoachDubNick had a scholarship to Syracuse, but I agree Im from Independence Mo and most of us root for whoever makes it to the sweet 16, doesn't matter KU or Mizzou (unless they are both in it to win it).
@@donaldseigel4101 Yes. I lived on Both sides of the state line. In Kansas City City Limits (2 Different Locations) and Leavenworth, KS.
Look Broussard at first I thought you were joking , then I thought "oh Lord he lived in Kansas too" 😂 I understand tho I was born in SC but my Dad was Air Force so I been all over and I have teams everywhere 🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
Nick is a Kansas native and loves KC sports.. but doesn’t root for KU? Weird. Having KU win the title is more exciting to me than a Sporting KC MLS Cup.
He used to agitate KU fans when he was on 610 am ...he's a Syracuse grad
He’s from missouri
Kansas City is in Missouri genius 😂😂
There is a Kansas City, Kansas (it's where the NASCAR track is, etc.)...but yes, Wright was on the MO side of the state line....as are the KC sports teams (Kaufman and Arrowhead are right next to each other in KCMO)....but just because he's close to KU (Lawrence is like 30-60 min away), there's Mizzou, there's K-State, there's the St. Louis teams (past and present), etc....and of course, Nick went to Syracuse for college.
No one really cares about soccer in KC. I have lived in the KC area my whole life. Its way down the line in sports importance.
Well. You should come to Kansas and drink in a game at the Mecca of college basketball, Allen Fieldhouse.
I watch KU lose in 03 to Syracuse cuz they couldn't make free throws I know how you feel nick
Nobody:
Chris: 👁👄👁✌🏽 “JUST KIDDING”
North Carolina out scored Kansas 16-3 from the free throw line in the first half in building a 16 point half lead which no one is talking about. Tar heels didn't get the same production from the line in the second half. Without those 16 points from the stripe I believe it would of been a KU blowout!
I didnt feel sorry...as a Duke fan I enjoyed EVERY minute.... Choke artist
As a Duke fan, your opinion on Carolina basketball is worthless lol these boys weren’t even supposed to make the tourney but buried Coach K…TWICE. No coming back from that.
@@jblakeunc they were in the easiest bracket by a mile. Take that to your bank of bs, buddy. Lol
@@bradleyburton2664 so beating the reigning champs/#1 seed in Baylor, the most dangerous Cinderella in history, and a stacked Duke team equates to the easiest road? Lmao ok.
UNC fans would rather beat Duke then win it all 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 That's the difference between Duke and UNC fans. If Duke beat UNC and lost to Kansas I wouldn't care about the win against UNC.
@@WAZOWSKI_58 Well that’s the difference. I graduated from UNC and had no expectation that this team would even make it to the S16. Beating Duke the way we did this year was looked at as almost impossible. Ofc we wanted to win last night, but the boys left it all out there and proved to be the toughest team in the country. Plus, unc fans can handle an L. Nothing will ever top the Villanova loss in 2016.
If the player is going to the NBA , I don't feel sorry for them
My opinion, college basketball obviously doesn’t have the same level of skill as the pros but the players care more in college. The coaches actually get to coach, the teams actually run offensive & defensive schemes etc
The NBA has literally turned into a 3 point shooting contest every game & games aren’t exciting until the last quarter….
Yeah watching kids run a high school offense and then brick 70% of shots is great television
@@elitepredator137 yeah cause watching guys miss National televised games, while teams play no defense at all & end up with scores 130-137 is just amazing basketball…..
@@rambooo2534 I’m glad we agree watching players score in basketball is fun to watch!
The “I hate the NBA” guy is the dumbest person in sports
Facts
Finally college basketball topic, good going guys!
They didn't run out of gas. Bacot was essential, and he folded his ankle at the end, Kansas won but it was no runaway. Don't start trying to create another Duke.
it's crazy that UNC almost won while shooting like 30%...
Tale of two halves
I felt that way when roach choked last game...
Coaching, kansas had the better coach
7:49 Who I feel bad for is Jenna as she has good things to say but never gets to say them. Just along for the ride it seems.
Well actually she's the host Nick, Wiles & Brussaurd are the debators.
@@Bruce-Kent Thanks Captain Obvious 👨🚀
Why such a quick turnaround?
Day 00001 of the Jon Scheyer Legend!
Nick faking he cares about players as kids as he puts money on them
Betting on sports = not caring about players?
@@stackonez7182 ya the depths people go to be negative never surprised me.
UNC acted like they won the title when they beat Duke....rest was history. Easy pickings for Kansas, who seemed more focused and confident as the game went on....
Bacot was also injured
@@nathanmulchandani2869 don't make excuses. So was Baylor and thats why they won that second round game, against them.
100% agree
@@bradleyburton2664 not making an excuse dipshit. His comment suggested that they overreacted emotionally to beating Duke and that’s why they lost to Kansas. A big part of them losing to Kansas was the Bacot injury, not overcelebrating to Duke. I’m a Duke fan.
Unc's only weakness was exposed this game by kansas, kansas runs up and than like krazy and they got the depth to do it, unc keeps the same starting 5 pretty much the whole game, and so more injuries are bound to happen and getting gased is bound to happen, and that is why they lost a 15 pt 2nd half lead, and they only had like a 1 day rest for the championship?
Oh boo hoo... they had a 20 rebound advantage. Any more excuses you wanna make for the poor tarholes?
@@bradleyburton2664 its not excuses its the truth mate.
@@lstealth Kansas had only 1 day if rest.... like I said, stop making excuses.
@@bradleyburton2664 Both teams played their semifinal game on Saturday. Kansas vs Villanova was before the UNC vs Duke game, so what is your point? Are you saying Kansas had less time to rest than UNC?
@@crawdad4701 im saying the the starting 5 for unc play all both halfs? do you not get it ? so they get gassed out, unlike kansas they have depth in their team.
The ending was too cute😊 😭😭
Why do they put Wright on there to talk about college basketball, and he talks about his bets, The NBA, and how he cares about the kids that he bet on. Didn't he make fun of Harris for stepping out? If NC didn't cover, would it then be fair game to criticize the players? Didn't like him on 610 sports, and still don't.
does nick wright pay attention to college basketball? UNC had a hugh lead at half. once the 2nd half started they made 1 or 2 passes and threw up a bunch of 3's with alot of time on the shot clock. Hubert is not a good coach. If he was smart he would have drawn up plays to eat the clock and feed it down low.
Nick is right shoutout bruh for saving the 4.5 spread 😂 stepping out
Duke would had never ran out of gas
Blah blah blah
Wtf. Nick looks like he's the same age as the kids playing
“I feel so sad for the kids playing” but “I bet on the game” 🤔
Lol you can bet on the outcome without hoping for one team to fail and still empathize with the team who loses whoever that may be that’s not like you’re directly attempting to profit off the misfortune off college students lol
Okay…. And?
Caleb Love choked
Why because KU won, that's why your sick, if UNC won you wouldn't feel bad Rock Chalk jayhawk to all you haters especially you Nick.
Did nick have a kid when he was 14 ? The dude is only 37
It’s weird when Nick calls his stepson his kid because there’s only like a 13 year difference between them lmao
The fact that you know this...is odd
@@juggiebonebrain3383 Nick is in his early- mid 30s and the step son must be in in his early 20s. Just did the math
That would mean he was likely helping raise him when the kid was not even through puberty. He’s his kid
Father and blood are often one and the same....but not necessarily. My wife and I have NOTHING to do with her natural mother...and there is a good reason why. It would be best for everyone if my MIL (in name only) and I are not in the same room.
Nick deal with it. Most of these athletes will win and lose chips. It’s comes with the territory. I’ve been on both sides. The lows and highs are remembered. They weren’t deep enough and thus Kansas simply had more strings to pull and a much easier road to the finals. Credit Bill Self for making sure they chopped into that lead early in the second half and that shutting down Davis on the Tar Heels was the key.
nick wright reproduced? 🤢🤮
