UNC and Duke

[Unchained]

Sure looked great again tonight didn't they? The wheels have fallen off the wagon as of late. I love it.

UNC just hasn't rebounded like I thought they would, the team after the 05' ship bounced back(tarheel fans were spoiled), but there was definitely a lot of struggling - this team is struggling a little more. When losing Lawson/Hansborough and company, it's going to take some time. These injuries haven't helped, Ed Davis being out tonight sure didn't, but a game they still should have won. I did see some improvements with handling the ball better, the Wear twins are great and I mean they bust their ass every play...might not be a Hans or Ty, but hustle role players that will be a piece to a title in a few years. Just the 5 Freshman look very, very promising. I'm hoping they'll work the kinks out and do some damage in the ACC tourney and maybe get somewhere in the NCAA tourney.


With all that said, dropping 3 in a roll just doesn't happen, not since Roy...but not it has, I believe that's where it will stop. They have a 6 day rest I think?, then Davis should be back and ready to play(hurts when you're without the teams leading rebounder, block shots, and leader of the ACC in FG%) against that Wolfpack.

Yeah, no way a team can compete with a bunch of freshman playing. Especially if you have two freshman in the back court together, a freshman center, sophomore wing man and a lone junior at power forward.

Shew, could be a long season for the Cats

We all can't be as good as UVA is this year.

[Biggin]

bray, not everybody can have the bets player in the nation

and yall laughed when I said Roy W. was soo overrated and Cal was the better coach

[gcdevil22]

how does this prove Cal is the better coach?

UK returned an ALL-SEC player to go with a bunch of 5-star recruits...haven't had any injuries, and outside of Jodie Meeks, didn't really lose anyone from their previous squad

UNC lost 3 players to the NBA draft, including a guy who is the ACC's all-time scorer, and have dealt with injuries all season to not just 3 of their players, but the 3 best players they have

does UK win with any combination of Wall, Patterson and Cousins on the bench with injuries??

UK's freshmen are one-and-done types, Carolina hasn't had to recruit one-and-done types because they've been so deep that they could take players with a high ceiling and turn them into good players when they got experience

you force decent players into starting roles with the schedule they've played and you better believe they're going to struggle a little bit...Carolina will be fine, and this group of freshmen will probably get a title before they're done

if Calipari doesn't win it all this year with the amount of talent that he has, then there's no way he can even be considered in the top 5 coaches right now in college basketball...and i really don't believe they will win it
