If Syracuse did not play a zone then the X-factor would not come into play but since the Orange does North Carolina will need both Jackson and Hicks to produce big time. Johnson, Paige and Berry will get their points but if Jackson can hit some corner jumpers and some baseline floaters this will open up the inside for Johnson, Meeks and Hicks. After having two subpar games last week Hicks needs to spend more time in the paint scoring and rebounding than being a cheerleader on the bench. If these two guys come to play early and are focused then Carolina will roll but one of them if not both will have to insert themselves to give the Heels another scorer.
