    Gonzaga-UNC Discussion

    Let's get some discussion going. Who do you guys like? I would guess UNC will be a slight one or two point favorite.

    I want to take UNC, can't see them losing back to back years in the championship game. But Berry needs to play better for them to have a chance.

    Zags never really seen a team like UNC. Zags are good but have hid in the WCC and then played cinderellas all tourney except for WVU.

    Im thinking one or two points at most for UNC Wiz.

    UNC -2. I like the Zags defense better than UNC's offense

    Gonzaga has beaten some good teams this year. Arizona, Florida, Iowa State, West Virginia. I will favor the team with better guards, and Nigel Williams Goss is better in the backcourt than anyone UNC has.

    This is a game probably better being bet in "live betting or in game". Either side you like you will get a better number at some point doing so. That being said, IMO I think the Zags win. Berry is hurt and won't be effective enough for NC. Zags all around are the better team. I will wait for "live betting" numbers and grab the Zags at +4 or better.

    Zags roll.

    UNC is number 1 in offensive rebounding. Zags only 223. Yet, they are 6th in total rebounding, and number 1 defensively. UNC gets points because they get offensive rebounds. The Zags won't allow this. Being number one at offensive rebounds just says you miss a lot. Good luck against the number 1 defensive rebounding team.

    Oh yeah, with better guard play, better shooters, and a better coach. I wish I had money. Zags win easily.

    UNC offense is nothing special. Throw it up against the glass and let the big boys eat, a Justin Johnson one on one move, or the deepest 3 you can shoot before the shot clock ends. Gonzaga should be able to handle that inside and outside unless Johnson goes for 30+

    Total seems high but they can hit that I don't see anybody with any real reasoning to get involved here but it's the nc game so I know you need action

    right?

    If it was like 144.5 I'd smash the over but I don't like that total

    they can hit it but I don't like that number.

    Let's see which way it moves

    Unc for me. Oregon and Kentucky are really good. Would any team gonzaga faced in the tournament be favored against Kentucky or Oregon? No. Oregon beat Kansas by 14. Kentucky has 2 top 10 picks in the NBA draft and had a 16 game winning streak. Northwestern, wvu, Xavier, South Carolina is a very lucky draw and they weren't even impressive in winning. Beating the spread once i think.

    Slight lean on UNC. I could see the line moving down because the metrics say Gonzaga should be a slight fave.

    Watching the Zags give up a 14-zip run in the 2nd half vs. S.C. was disturbing. Yes, they handled it well, no panic
    after losing the lead.

    UNC with ZERO FGs last 5 1/2 minutes gives me pause as well. This has all the making of last years game.....
    tied with seconds left... so giving or getting 1-1.5 is a game we should all stay away from.

    Of course, we won`t.

    Just saying it's a very slippery slope trying to compare how teams North Carolina played vs teams Gonzaga played. Doesn't work that way in sports.
