No question for Carolina to be invited to the big dance next month this contest is the most important game of the season so far for the Tar Heels. UNC does not have many wins over what we would consider a quality team and a victory this evening would definitely help the teams resume.

The Cardinals have not played in nearly three weeks and their big man has not played at all so the team may and hopefully come out really rusty and out of rhythm but they have two tremendous experienced guards who as we all know have haunted Carolina’s young backcourt all season long.

U of L except for a couple guys are not real big up front so hopefully Carolina will pound the paint with their four big guys like they did against Duke recently and get some easy baskets and many trips to the free throw line.

Louisville even if they are short a few players will always play solid defense and they can rebound with anybody including UNC.

The key to me is for someone to step up other than Walton and hit some triples so that the Cardinals cannot sag back into the paint. Also another major key will be how the Cards adjust to real time action after being off for so long from the action on the hard wood.

Really interested to see if any Louisville players are out. Coach Mack said that they all practiced. It seems like they would all play or cancel the game.
 
I usually hope to face an opponent with all of their players, but in this one case, I would take an easy win against a depleted opponent. Particularly because they are not injured or suspended.
 
Announcers on Auburn/LSU just said Louisville asked UNC to push the game back until tomorrow so UL would have a couple of players back. UNC politely declined.

I can see where UL would be butt hurt by that but we need wins and FEWER interruptions to our schedule. If that report is true, what do you guys think?
 
No one took mercy on Carolina last season when Anthony was out 12 games and Robinson was out because of numerous injuries so you have to come dance with who brought you and deal with it.
 
Louisville has always been deep but two of their players in their rotation will not be available and Nickleberry is one of them not suited up.
 
Carolina hitting shots and the boards early. Brooks looks determined to score so far. The Cardinals only have eight players available to see action.
 
Seems like more made shots than entire first half vs UVA. Doing pretty well getting it inside and finishing.
 
Back door hoop for Louisville 17-15. Another foul on the Cards and they cannot get into foul trouble since they only have eight players available.

That’s why we have to keep going inside. And guys need to finish and hit FTs.
 
Kessler is a foot from the hoop- 6+ inches taller than anyone else. And passes it out. Wtf

also - everyone not named Kerwin stop shooting 3s. Looking at you leaky.
