North Carolina

NC is all about drive and finish, just 40 assists on 101 baskets. If we can play good on ball defense and rebound, we'll win. I could probably repeat that sentence at least 20 more times this year.
 
Crazy. Take away the best players stats and the team stats aren’t as good. You could play that game with anyone. And when talented teams like UNC don’t let Garza go off it will open up shots for other guys.

point is our “shooters” were throwing up a lot of bricks
 
My biggest concerns are giving up offensive rebounds and not getting back on defense...then their frontline will make it very difficult for Garza to get the ball on the offensive interior and their guards will provide serious pressure on the perimeter.....

We can’t turn it over, Garza has to get their guys in foul trouble, and if we keep it close we will finish them off down the stretch.

It would help if JBO goes off...along with CJ. They’re both gamers.
Thats what people said last year when we got into conference play, and I haven't seen anyone slow Garza down yet. The problem last year was even when Garza went off, he didn't get much help and we were lacking on the defensive end. Watched the UNC vs Kansas game, and thought the heels will be challenged to keep up offensively with Iowa, but we'll see in a couple of days.....
 
We’re basing NC shooting on games we’ve seen against good D. They probably feel Iowa can’t throw it in the ocean based on the air balls we threw up last night. I have no doubt the shooting will be better against the Hawks and their rebounding travels well. We’ll need to play light years better than we’ve shown to get a W.
So if we play light years better than we have been playing, than you're saying we'll score 120 points in this game and win big?
