Tonight's game is concerning they better play well. 3000 miles from home 3 hour time difference it's a recipe for a loss.

Tonight is in Chapel Hill. But you're right, the Heels need to show some consistently good play tonight. They need to take Cal out early and not let up.
It's at home tonight. It really sets up for a good UNC performance. A Cal team that has to travel and a Cal team that refuses to play defense. This should be a game where things come together a bit for UNC. I'll take a 5 pt win, but it would be encouraging if they blow out a pretty bad Cal team.
Drake Powell vs Stojakavich should be a great challenge for Powell if they are matched up. I guess Jackson may get a stab at him too.
I agree. These wins over bottom half ACC teams in a terrible ACC doesn’t change anything for me. We still haven’t beaten anyone of note and have close wins recently against teams we should have blown out. We will find out very soon against Dook where we stand at this point in the season.
My bad guys I'm not sure why I thought it was on the road, I don't have as bad of a feeling now.
It’s less impressive now. And is that really our standard?
Fair weather. Other than the Louisville loss our worst loss is to 12th ranked Michigan State in OT on a neutral floor. Led at Kansas at the end and led against Florida at the end. Only 2 games we looked outclassed were Auburn and Bama and Auburn is the heavy title favorite. This has all been with our 5th year all american in a terrible slump and basically playing 4 against 5 every night with our terrible big men. If we make the tournament (which i think we will) I promise no one wants to see us in their bracket with the idea of RJ getting hot on top of Ian looking unguardable
This team has validated literally everyone's opinion about them. For those who think they're not any good, they fell behind by like 20 to every team they lost to this season. For those who think they can be good, they came back against a lot of those good teams.
And also, this picking and choosing is a bit misleading. Because you can easily say that 2 of their best 3 wins this season came against UCLA and Dayton. Dayton is an absolute disaster right now. They may have to win their conference tournament to get into the tournament. They lost to UMass. And UCLA is in freefall right now too.
Whether someone wants to see UNC or not in the tournament isn't my call and is certainly not relevant to where this program is right now. I also think it's fair to say that UNC being the dangerous 6-12 seeded team in the tournament is probably not where you want this program to be on a consistent basis. And that would make 2 of 3 Hubert led tournament teams for UNC.
