Will the Heels win out in the regular season?
 
UL opened as a 1 point fav ... didn't see that coming at all. Figured UNC to open about 2.5 favs with o/u around 161 or so ..
 
uL is really good when they are good, but really bad when they are bad. They also get back their leading scorer tomorrow who has missed a few games in a row before now with an injury. Always a tough game at their place.
 
Is UL really that good or have the bookies not watched the last 3 games ???

It's an ACC game in their house against the defending National Champs, no matter what they have looked like they'll be jacked tomorrow night. There are a lot of tall buildings in Vegas for a reason, those dudes know what they're doing. I'm expecting a nail biter, & in fact, I was expecting the line to be at 2.5-3 for Louisville, so basically a pick 'em since home court is usually worth 3 pts. So in theory, we'd be favored on a neutral court, given the present line. Read into that what you want.

So they pushed the tip to 8:25pm, great...and Platek is out due to concussion yesterday in practice. Great.
 
Hate to hear Platek is out, but we can win without him if we play like we’re capable. We all knew this would be one of our tougher games but I hope we can get out with a win
 
attacking the rack may not work as well with the ul size .. we'll see .. GO HEELS

This is the advantage when you have an athletic team with interchangeable parts. Platek will be missed but at least we have have some good options to fill in.
 
Tar Heels start out 5 of 7 from 3Land . . awesome beginning.
 
Theo bringing it tonight!

Will schools ever get rid of those FUGLY adidas shorts? Atrocious! Teams should start down 10-0 for just taking the court with those on.
 
did you guys see Padgett running at Berry while he was shooting from the sideline . . ? BS move on his part, punkass coach.
 
Given the time that brob was on the court and not Theo - I’ll take +9 st half. Sometimes I think we’d be better off 4 on 5 on offensive end when he’s on the court. A couple times he made passes that would be dunks on the other end of Lou was half step faster. BROB just does not fit into or know the offense at all. A TO just waiting to happen. All the time.

He does play good D though. But yea, he's scary on offense.

Boxscore shows no turnovers by BRob in the first half and he made a very good feed to Manly that resulted in 2 points at the FT line.

I like Rob's game . . he hustles as much as anyone. It ain't easy coming off the bench and trying to fit in. I love his effort, he's got a good stroke . . and he gives our starters a break.
