Fair enough I suppose. To each his own.
If you can't see similarities between 2015, I'm not sure which team you're watching.
As far as UNC they are in almost the exact same position they were in 2017 in terms of record and even style of play.
Will they be a 1 seed, I suppose they may not I'm just not going to be surprised if they are. All week all I heard on XM college radio was it's a five team race for 4 one seeds and if Xavier lost early Duke would most likely replace them on the 1 line.
Xavier lost, so there's my logic.
good post. We have arguably some the best players in college hoops but that doesn’t always make you the best team. A lot of egos and NBA contracts are priority one, period not Duke basketball. We as fans would not have seen most of these players if they didn’t have the age rule in effect. How many of these freshmen do you see coming back to Durham to watch their school play.
We pissed our 1 seed chance last night. We finished 2nd in the conference and start 4 freshmen. The Holes last season finished 1st in the regular season I think, and started 3 juniors and 2 seniors, and had played in the national title game the year before. Just my opinion here but our youth may hurt us in terms of seeding, since we didn't do in the regular season as we were projected.
Duke lost the same day as Xavier and has two more losses. The loss to BC & St Johns will hurt their seed. No way Duke gets a 1 and most likely will get the 2 in the West
This is probably true, but I think a semifinal loss to UNC is better than one to Providence.
Palms has Duke in the East still, I just don't think a 9 loss UNC team gets seeded over a 7 loss Duke, even if Duke isn't a 1.
Be prepared to be disappointed, UNC will get the royal treatment, while Duke gets the rod with no vasoline. UNC went 12-8 the last 20 games of the regular season and is considered the top 2 seed right now, that’s beyond ridiculous and obvious favoritism.
This team is terrifying when they click, but theres no consistency with anyone besides Bagley. Its hard to tell what we will do in the tournament. I think we all know what we CAN do, but im afraid we may be looking at an early exit. The first half we had against UNC will get us blown out by someone like Villanova. I hope we pull it together because we have the scariest team in the country if our guys actually show up.
That's good we aren't a number 1. We would've been the last number 1 and ended up in the West. Now we get to be a 2 in the east which is perfect.
Does it really matter whether we are a 1 or 2 seed. We still like every one else have to win 6 starting with the opening game. We always have that cup cake easy bracket in our favor. OFC
you gotta give credit to Roy and The Heels. They had a great defensive plan. They jammed our Bigs. Played physical, denied them the ball. Made scoring hard.
Did you guys check the stat line? UNC was 28/71 from the field. we were 22/54. They took almost 20 more shots than we did!!!!
The intangibles went against us as well.
But what about going forward. I am not optimistic.
This team has the pieces to put it together. But - we really have not seen them do that.
sure - Grayson could get hot on a big stage and carry us - or Gary.
But one thing is for sure. Every game with this team is an adventure.
