Heels Headed to NCAA Tournament, Open up in Dayton
North Carolina in headed to the NCAA Tournament and will start off in a play-in game in Dayton
On the other end of that, jeez, they gave Pitino the easiest path of the 1/2 seeds.I think they deserved a better seed but it's like NCAA officiating and you get what you get. GO HEELS !!
Is IJ done fasting yet? Withers can redeem himself tooIt’s early but San Diego State can’t score but they defend. That’s their identity. San Diego State has a lot of size and depth in their frontcourt. San Diego State wants to play slow and defend their way to a win.
I typically like UNC against teams that are slow tempo, defense first teams. But they’ve obviously struggled against size which San Diego State has.
I would favor UNC by 3 points or so. And it’s a game I think they should win.
Early x factor. San Diego State is in the 300’s in FT percentage. For an offensively limited team at times, they leave points on the floor.
Tempo will be important in this game. San Diego State ranks 254th in tempo. So a battle of style. I don’t think San Diego State has the skill as of now.
Especially happy for Withers to have a shot at putting that blip behind him..Is IJ done fasting yet? Withers can redeem himself too
Ramadan lasts until the end of March this year.Is IJ done fasting yet? Withers can redeem himself too

Sweet 16 being possible is correct. But also possible is losing rather badly in the play-in game. Up and down inconsistent play defines Davis's teams.We avoid the number one seed.
Sweet 16 is possible.
Freshmen would have to show up to go any further..
They also are traditionally every bit as "physical" as say, a Houston on Tennessee.Good info
Need to focus on our first opponent. They have a big frontcourt. They could wreck our frontcourt very easily.We avoid the number one seed.
Sweet 16 is possible.

They know who they are and do not deviate from. Win or lose reallyThey also are traditionally every bit as "physical" as say, a Houston on Tennessee.
Apparently it was just barely enough...Hey, all I got is a thanks to Gary for keeping the faith. I know ive not been much in that corner the last several years due to life but I'm still a dyed in the wool sort and some of my best memories are cheering for this team in its many iterations from my first memory Indiana 81'
Thanks again Gary for the positive energy.
Overall the UNC team is not that bad but the thing that is the biggest head scratcher is the inconsistent use of players and game play/coaching. We are surely thin in the middle but this yrs. group was thin in the post from day one but that doesn't mean you have to totally avoid a post game. Our best games recently have come from involving post presence and attacking the basket. Guess that goes back to game coaching and player use. jmoWe avoid the number one seed.

Great time for him to shine before he jumps to NBA.. help boost his stockI believe Ian needs to really snap out of the giant funk he has been in the last few games. Wanna showcase your talents to the scouts?? Wanna really improve your draft status??? Blow up get super aggressive and above all take it to the hup!!!
Espn’s scoreboard says UNC plays Tuesday. I would guess its the second game.I’m seeing conflicting info online, is the game Tuesday or Wednesday? Also assuming it is the second game of the night?
I think both Ian and EC's development have been slowed by RJ's extended stay. Providing all return I think EC/pg, IJ/sg,/Drake/3 and Wash as a solid inside out 4 could lay the groundwork for a formidable team Then you need a big body true 5 to make some magic. And although I think Brown has a ton of potential inside I just don't think he will have bulk next year. jmoI believe Ian needs to really snap out of the giant funk he has been in the last few games.

Tuesday at 9ish was the last I saw.I’m seeing conflicting info online, is the game Tuesday or Wednesday? Also assuming it is the second game of the night?
It was nice that they (and we) didn't have to wait long.
Thank goodness that lane violation didn't end RJ's career. He looks so happy to still be playing.
I think Seth has a chip on his shoulders and silently saying we have some work to do.It was nice that they (and we) didn't have to wait long.
I also liked Seth's chill reaction --- just nodding his head like OK, MIlwaukee, baby.
Seth needs to lead this, dude is cold...I think Seth has a chip on his shoulders and silently saying we have some work to do.
If we win Tuesday, he gets to go home.Seth needs to lead this, dude is cold...
Right man, IF... SDSU will be a tough task. Be nice if they were headed to Mil WiscIf we win Tuesday, he gets to go home.
ISU is still very strong.Iowa State's best player (Gilbert) is out. Looks like St. Patrick is smiling on us...
If they somehow get past SDSU, Ole Miss will be a problem.Iowa State's best player (Gilbert) is out. Looks like St. Patrick is smiling on us...
Can we agree on "those" blips rather than that blip?Especially happy for Withers to have a shot at putting that blip behind him..
Seth Davis questioning Bubba Cunningham the way he did is something only a Duke graduate would do. My bad he is a Duke graduate
Pretty sad we have to celebrate making the tourney rather than seeing how high of a seed we get. I guess times have changed.
