I never like the long wait in between games. Feels like any momentum you build gets lost. Too long before the Duke game also. With these young guys they need to keep building positive momentum

"Unranked" NC has top-5 level talent. This is going to be fun to watch.

Yeah I am viewing this one as basically a top 10 matchup, UNC hasn't played near to their talent but if they do they can beat any team in the country. Not saying we will lose or anything, we are playing really well right now, but just saying unraked is a misnomer (while technically true) in the sense of how tough it will be to win. Glad it is at a neutral site and not Chapel Hill though.

Also, not excited about the huge gap between games either....I get it if we have finals for the players, but it sucks when you start meshing and get momentum, then don't play for so long.

So UNC can't shoot for shit. They've shot below 20% from 3 in each of their losses (and a couple of their wins)...

Keeping the ball in front of you on defense and not allowing an easy lane to the basket plus rebounding will be the biggest keys here I think.

Carolina ended up rolling The Citadel, 100-67. They earlier lost 103-101 to 4th ranked Bama. I hope that version of UNC doesn't show up today.

Likekele is still in Texas. Was hoping he'd be back for this one but who knows what he's dealing with there. Life is bigger than sports.
