leaning towards UNC

all ND has is Luke Harangody

[MSUSpartan32]

moneyman, I am leaning UNC as well. The teams that give UNC trouble are teams that run good half-court stuff and try to beat them up physically (see Kansas in the tourney last year, Maryland in the past). NDame can attack them inside with Harangody, but they play the same uptempo style vs. UNC. I can't see anyone beating UNC at their game, without taking them out of their comfort zone.

Whats everyone think about the O/U 170?

[MSUSpartan32]

We talked about it a bit in a thread below, sportsguy. Differing opinions on whether 3 games in 3 days and the "tired legs" will effect the jump shot more, or make the poor defense even worse.

under 170 for me I think the only thing that kills the Under is overtime...

[MSUSpartan32]

Scary with everyone on the under.........

[gummo]

Heels first half -6

[ZXCVBNM]

Under 40 for 1st 10 Minutes.. This will start out like Kansas vs Syracuse..

[ZXCVBNM]

Under 40 for 1st 10 Minutes.. This will start out like Kansas vs Syracuse..

and of course, they start like its the all star game

[MSUSpartan32]

ND is a BAD defensive team.....that is one constant that has never changed under Brey.

[teaserpleaser]

The pace will slow down....

[Jshearer22]

Let's hope the pace slows down! I have under 170, which is high for a college game. Both teams have come out on fire though! Where is the D!?!

[MSUSpartan32]

Neither team known for their defense. Hope UNC doesn't continue to double off Harangody. Will be too many open shots for good shooters.

[teaserpleaser]

ND has no chance at slowing lawson off the dribble... none

[MSUSpartan32]

ND has no chance of winning this game.......you can just feel Carolina, and their better depth, pulling away. ND won't go away, but I'd be suprised if this stays in single digits.

[fuall 2]

lean second half nc-3.5 -115.

[teaserpleaser]

no chance....
