No, he would have been correct had he said, I think Kansas will win this game based on what I've seen in the first 12 minutes.
However, saying the game is over is code for, there is no way the losing team can come back to have a chance to win this game. And in fact, UNC proved that they could come back and have a chance to win the game. Had Green's three pointer (Strickland-esque) gone down, they are down two and every Kansas player's and every Kansas fan's heart moves up four inches into their throats. UNC could have gone on the same Kansas run in the last six minutes and won by 10.
He was not correct to say the game was over at 38-12. Duke came back from a similar deficit in 2001 and got the tables turned by 30 points in the 1989 semifinal - which Nantz alluded to.
Down by 26 with 27 minutes left is not insurmountable as the Tar Heels proved last night, we proved in 2001 and Seton Hall proved in 1989.
