Four missed free throws in the last five seconds and North Carolina still beat Oregon, 77-76, to advance to the NCAA National Championship.
NFL players had plenty to say on social media after that lackluster ending to a game.

For the last 8 minutes, UNC was begging Oregon to win the game. Just awful. There's no such thing as a moral victory for staying close.

Attention young basketball players doing the little things and doing them well such as boxing out is still cool

Wow. Gotta box out. #Fundamentals

I guess nobody wanted to rebound in the crunch. The little things. So many wasted opps.
