This battle will be a quick turnaround game as both team played Saturday but Miami played late Saturday and then had to travel to Chapel Hill.
To me this is the most important game for Legacy reasons for the Carolina core of: Black, Love, Bacot and Davis that they have played in. Getting to the Championship game, downing Duke twice late in the spring were very memorable moments for the players and the fans but if for some reason Carolina does not get into the dance after being rated the number one team coming to the season their time and Legacy they have built will be really tarnished. Especially if the reasons for not getting into March madness is the direct result of late losses at HOME 🏠.
Since the Hurricanes 🌀 come into this battle inside the top 25 teams in America a win here would give Carolina a great resume win. A loss at home would put UNC in deep do do again.
Miami reminds a bunch of Baylor who also play 4 athletic and talented guards with one big. The upper class men for the Hurricanes in Jordan Miller a 6’7 sharpshooter and Isaiah Wong the 6’4 do it all guard 💂♂️ lead the 4 guard attack which also features 6’5 Wooga Poplar and his sophomore teammate Nigel Pack who at 6 feet is still averaging 12’6 points a game so RJ Davis and and Trimble will have their hands 🙌 full.,
Norchad Omier is Miami’s only big and he is a bull a 6’7 and carries 235 on his frame and he is third in rebounding in the league. Bacot, Nance and Washington have to take it to him and hopefully get him in foul trouble and use their bigger height to a giant advantage.
The biggest question to me is on defense and who covers who. Miami’s 4 guards compliment each other so much and can adjust to the situation both offensively and defensively and they are big 6’7, 6’4 and 6’5 and a even 6 feet.
Because of their size in the backcourt and their quickness to me it is a no brainer to start Puff over Nance. Johnson has long arms and moves good laterally so it is a logical choice. Black on Miller will be the matchup to watch as well as Love trying to hold Wong. If Puff does get the start he will probably get matched against Wooga Poplar who 6’5 and averages close to 8 points a game.
Along with Love and Davis going to the hole instead of shooting from downtown Cary to score or go to the line I feel Mando needs to be the dominant factor in this game. 20 points is a must and owning the board is the key 🔑 because Carolina cannot give up second chance opportunities.
This should be a classic
