Dunn is Not the best point guard in college, next level? YES, but not in college.
I come in peace.

Your assist tend to be low when nobody on your team can score. It takes two to make a assist.
Good interesting analysis. The Heels have had some ugly TO games in the last two games that we still won by about 20. By ugly I mean in the 14 TOs per game range, which isn't obscene given the number of possessions in our up tempo style. But this Heels team is on pace to set a record for fewest TOs per game and per possession for the recent (shot clock) history of UNC. They are a great passing, assisting, A/TO ratio team. That compensates for us being one of the worst UNC teams all time behind the arc.
We are much more likely to be smart and move the ball for a good inside shot, compared to so many of the teams that you see that dribble the air out of the ball then pass once or zero times before jacking up an off balance 3. Also, our bigs and wings are probably the best collection of pure passers - as a group- I can recall at UNC.
Because we have experience in guys like Paige, Berry, Britt on the perimeter, we tend to get good smart shots most of the time. Its like we've got a couple seasoned coaches on the floor in Paige and Berry, who always know the right play to make within Our System.
Well I guess the "I come in peace" is getting ramped up. Lol. I will say that I hope UNC has the same attitude as you guys. Very full of yourselves. Btw Grayson Allen is a shooting guard not a point guard.
I get what youre trying to say, but its not a good argument imo. The NBA game is completely different from the college game. Its built off the pick and roll and spreading the floor for more isolation and pull up shots from the elbow with more emphasis on a stretch 4. College is more a full motion offense with 2 traditional post players in the paint. For example, Who would you take in college? Hansbrough or Blake Griffin? Pretty sure if I asked who would you take in the NBA it would be a different answer.
OK
1) everything people have stated above regarding UNC is factual. And I think the other IU posters here have been respectful to UNC and vice versa. We did win the vastly superior conference - regular season AND tourney outright, and ended up being ranked #3 - so I don't think that stating how / why we got there is "being full of ourselves".
2) Don't worry about Ol' Roy taking you guys lightly. It ain't like its his first rodeo. He will / has scouted the crap out of everyone on your team, and will give you the build up IU has earned and deserves.
3) Regarding "I come in peace", here's a metaphor for how your thread starter came across:
"Hey. Your girlfriend (Paige) used to be really HOT! Looks like she added 20 pounds and now is really fugly. What happened to her?"
"By the way, MY girlfriend (Yogi) is now the hottest girl in all of college. Do you think anyone from your school could ever get a date with her?"
Pretty passive - aggressive "I come in peace" post IMO.
About Paige, it has been talked about many times by the talking heads about Paige being down this year. Just because you don't like a question doesn't mean it isn't a valid question. I have been respectful the entire time. If you want, I can bring up the giant elephant in the room.
Good defender and shooter. If he is ready to go he will help. A lot of folks wanted him at UNC.
Was thinking the same thing about the IU players compared to the fans. If they think Berry and Paige are push overs, I like our chances.
Yes we have several that can contain the little phucker ! You will get more of Paige than you can handle. Heels win and advance mark it down !
First off, unless Thorton is on the floor Gayson Allen is darn sure the duke PG, and that means most of the season Allen has been the duke PG. Anything else you would like to rtell us about teams in our own freakin conference, teams that we have already played, especially those we have played multiple times? Ohhh, that makes you seem less smart than you thought you were, doesn't it...
As for full of ourselves, I guess we will see who is unrightfully full of themselves and who is just running their mouth off. But a serious question for ya, which team do you think Vegas will have as the favorite for that game? Will Vegas also be full of themselves?
Now I have been respectful to a couple IU fans that have come here asking hoest questions and being reasonable folks. Heck, I don't even care if they feel their team will win, I feel mine will but lets play the game and see. But you want to jump right up and claim that UNC fans ON THEIR OWN FREAKIN WEB SITE are full of themselves because we think we will win that game? That really makes you look like the fella full it "it". That is actually a rude thing for you to say and you do not get away with being rude in OUR HOUSE! IF YOU can learn to be respectful here you wil be fine but if you can not find it in yourself to be respectful as a guest in this house, your stay will not be long term. But by all means discover for yourself!
I haven't seen where anybody got out of line, IU or UNC fans. Not sure why you think we're full of ourselves BUT if you want to turn it ugly we damn sure can get ugly.
Yah wyo try to keep it respectful and keep it to relevant basketball stuff. If we were to go tit for tat on elephants and cheap shot agitations we could go back over the last couple years. Some coach demanded his players write and deliver apology letters to former players and coaches cor how bad they shamed and tarnished the image and legacy of the basketball program. Off court drinking issues, crimes etc
That was your program right ?
That was your program right ?
Hey, I don't mind playing elephant to his jackass ! LOL (political joke or was it....
Yes ................................ you are the jackass, just couldn't resist could you?

Knight mustve put an eternal hex on IU when they canned him. Indiana has been about as relevant as American Samoa in college bball since Knight was fired
You should've stopped there - everything else is inflammatory and will get you booted. (I hope).
Regarding your IU by 10 cheap talk, you oughtta head out to Vegas and set up a book taking IU and giving the Heels 9. You'll have a lot of takers of Heels plus 9, so you will stand to make a fortune. Good luck!
I hope you really have your hopes up about what is going to happen to UNC men's BB when the AFAM investigation is done. All you hear is lazy rumors from the ABC haters(including media, and you). Suffice it to say you and the rest of the haters are in for a big disappointment, based on objective people on the inside who actually know the facts, and know what they are talking about (not you). Good luck with that too. Life is full of disappointments.
Nobody thinks Paige and Berry a push overs. Berry has taken next step as a sophomore and Paige's career speaks for itself.
This guy is a typical ABCer from well, take your pick ANY school out there that we play. They 'come in peace" but really they WANT desperately to use what they believe is the Nuclear bomb .. AFAM.... that they will throw at us in the wrongly held belief that it is going to blow us up. They are clueless of course and really use the :"media narrative" of fake classes etc that they spew out with perfect regularity.
We have heard it all before and would take you seriously if you actually KNEW wtf you were talking about. But sadly like so many ABCers you DON'T.
AS I, and many others who DO understand exactly what this whole thing is about , have said too many times... yeah we will get a punishment based on the FACTS not what some media whore spews out on ESPN or the N and O.
I do not really blame folks like this guy...they just are ignorant and have no idea what they are talking about. But we have to ride this out until the NCAA finally does make a decision.... one that will no doubt disappoint this fellow and many others like him.

I like Yogi, speed and a great leader. Couple of priblems he will have against UNC. We have 3 guys that can guard him and fouls to spare if he get to the rim.
More concerned with IU lighting it up from 3 than Yogi.
Roy is starting put some really good line ups in at perfect times. Everyone knows we are deep, now we are starting to really hurt teams with match up problems and now we are starting to take advantage of mismatch situations.
Really felt UK would have given us more problems.

Tell you what big man, I live close to Evansville Indiana. I'll take UNC + 9 for $100. If you're not close to Evansville we can do a paypal bet.
Want to mark it down you won't accept?
Sorry .............................. he has left the building.
Unlike Kentucky which rely on their guards so much UNC has balanced scoring from their backcourt and their front court. As Dunn and Providence found out the star can get his points but it is still hard to win when the opponents put 4 or 5 players in double digits in scoring. I think both teams are about even and who ever dictates the speed of the game will prevail. No one has been able to run with Carolina all season and if Indiana tries it will be a long night for the Hoosiers in the town of brotherly love.
Good to see that the Tombstone is still alive and very active. If Kentucky had won the Tombstone would have shown up early Saturday evening...
This is 100% untrue. In fact, Yogi mostly just took bad jumpers for most of the game.
27 points on 20 shots is hella efficient. By rule a player should have as many points as shots. That means they are effectively shooting 50% from the field. Which is good. Doesn't matter if u do it on free throws or 3s or so on. Your shot effectively is 50%. 27 on 20 shots is very good.
