    UNC March Breakdown: There are several factors to our improvement: 1. Healthy: Little hurt his foot and was hampered for about a month. However he has been on a tear now that his ankle has healed up (assuming he recovers from his flu like symptoms). Likewise, Leaky Black (who is severely...

    Keys to the Game Against Wofford

    UNC lost to them last year, and the issue was they packed the lane against us daring us to hit threes, and they actually got rebounds against us and limited second chance points with their physical play down low. They actually played us even on the glass if I recall correctly. Jackson is a...

    How the seeds should be

    #1 Duke (3rd Place Conference finish, but strong SOS based on advanced metrics and conference tourney champion) #2 UVA (weak to middling SOS and best win came against UNC when they had 2 players injured, but conversely only 3 losses and a share of ACC regular season). You could argue they...

    Cats open up -5.5

    Quick Scouting Report from a guy who lives in the area - I hope this helps: Davidson is an extremely skilled three point shooting team (maybe the best one) with a legitimate star player in Aldridge. They are also excellent passers. Bob McKillop is an incredible X’s and O’s coach, with fantastic...

    Who's going to Boise?

    Activity recommendations for Boise: if you like the outdoors, drive 45 minutes to the Payette for excellent whitewater, or for a more passive outdoor experience, hike up to Table Rock to enjoy a nice view of the city. For a great salmon dinner, head to sockeye grill and brewery. They have...

    UNC's weakness

    Dribble penetration (especially when followed by kick outs to open three point shooters), lack of quality depth behind Berry, and foul trouble (particularly among the bigs like Hicks).

    UNC not gonna give us bulletin board material..

    Here are the quotes for those interested: http://www.scout.com/college/north-carolina/story/1765850-ncaa-saturday-unc-pc Theo Pinson on how he would have affected Monk if he played in December and how he might impact him this game: “I don't think there was much that was going to stop him that...

    How does UNC play us this time around?

    UNC fan here with some more match up details. You have already played us, so you already have an idea of our team, but here we go... The Obvious: We like to play fast, we are deep, and we rebound extremely well. We struggle with excellent dribble penetration, and that is compounded when the...

    UNC fan says they'll beat us because we haven't played anybody

    Most UNC fans do not think Kentucky is an easy W; almost all of us think UK is a really tough match-up. I for one think Kentucky is the better team. The only area I might disagree with a UK fan about is my belief UNC is slightly more likely to make the final four than UK due to the gauntlet...

    UK's resume is sneaky good

    My scale was Slight, Normal, Big, or Huge advantage. I typically just said "Advantage" when talking about a normal advantage, and I guess I slipped up when writing that section and made it confusing. As to my logic, in this particularly area, I don't know the committee's thinking as much as...

    UK's resume is sneaky good

    I dug some more into the numbers for those who are interested on the UNC vs. Kentucky Resume. My goal here is to simply try and think like the NCAA Selection Committee: 1. RPI: RPI Rank: UNC #5 and Kentucky #8 - Slight Advantage UNC RPI Top 25: UNC 4-3 and Kentucky 2-4 - big to huge advantage...
