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.
