Showtime! Big time! Revenge! Tonight’s the night. I can’t believe it’s the last game of the regular season.. this year has flown by and we have a chance to be co-ACC champs. Pretty impressive! We are currently a 5.5 point favorite which is a little larger then I expected but I’ll take it!

We need this win.. we need to prove to the committee just how good we are and hopefully they can’t deny us a good seed spot. I think we come out hungry and ready

Duke-85
UNC- 67

I'm feeling strangely confident about tonight's game. UNC is more experienced and has played well most of the season. They took care of business when we played them at UNC. However, we are trending better than they are. Bacott is going to get his inside based on the matchups. As long as nobody else goes off for 30, I think we are good. Flip needs to stay out of foul trouble and show up tonight. I am looking for big games from Roach and Proctor. Mitchell, McCain and Stewart are the wildcards. I feel like one of those three will have a big game. At home, threes should be falling at a good clip. I like Duke in this one.

Duke 84
UNC 72

Just win. We have a better team on paper and we are at home. If we can't take care of business at home we won't get a 2 seed. We could even drop to a 4. I think we win, but agreed, anything can happen. Seems like a game we need to win to be seen by the committee as an elite, legit top 8 team. Stewart will get minutes. I'd like to see him and Young on Bacot at times to save Flip from fatigue and foul trouble. If Stewart can play good minutes tonight we finally have the frontcourt depth we have wanted.

Can't agree more on Stewart Chris! He's growing before our eyes. Today will be a great test for him guarding Bacot and great way for us to assess his game. Worst case, give us 12 minutes and make Bacot work hard inside for anything he gets.

I’m a little anxious now that we all seem pretty confident. Quick, someone get Koach to post some negative stuff to settle me down!!

I think I’ll have a hotdog and coors lite to settle down.

Foster still on a scooter isn't promising. We will be fine but no more guard injuries please.

What a joke. Missing easy wide open shots and unc can’t miss. Terrible opening

Exactly how we started last game vs UNC. Run out of the gym and uncompetitive.

This is what experience does to youth, worst part is they’re probably going to be even better next year
