Heels Think They're in and are Planning Accordingly

[Archer2]

The tremendously hard schedule Carolina played this year should help them with their game against San Diego State. The Aztecs have been solid the last couple of years and beat Houston this season but I do not believe playing in the Mountain West have helped them get ready for a team like North Carolina who has been battle tested all year

If they can beat Houston, they can damn sure beat the Heels. Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we lost to SDSU. Because the Heels aren’t fundamentally sound, we generally lose to decent teams unless we shoot very well. That is problematic for a team that doesn’t shoot the ball particularly well. Our offense, defense, and rebounding aren’t usually good enough to offset a poor shooting effort. I’m happy for the men on the team that they made the tournament. Now let’s see if they can win some games.

SDSU beat Houston in one of those late Nov tourneys in a close game. Frankly, those early season tourneys you see a lot of upsets, major programs are trying different combinations of players, teams are just getting going. Just as we had a poor Maui tourney this season. This UNC team has played 4 of the top 5 teams in the country today,

National media can poopoo UNC in this thing all they want, UNC fans can disagree if they want but this team right now is playing like a top 20 team rather than a team in the play in game of this tourney. At this point of the season everyone has their back to the wall, we have had our backs to the wall for 11 games or so now, others hope to get in to that mode, we have been in it for a good while. The #1 team in the country (with or without Cooper Flag) knows how lucky they were to escape with that win in Charlotte, they know we blew them out in that second half. If I were a SDSU fan, don't think I would book my flight to Milwaukee just yet.

14 teams from SEC ridiculous

Yes. Yes it is, but that's what you get with ESPN drum-beating and their commissioner lobbying like Enron --- while our "commissioner" is a damn ghost.

Solid teams for sure, but ISU's banged up, Auburn lost 3 out of last 4 (already peaked?), and UNC knows MSU fairly well. Other regions' top 3 seeds are more dangerous, IMO.

!000% disagree.
