They have let opponents break 80 on 5 occasions already. That is just not acceptable. Very little chance of a team with a defense like this going far in the tournament.

I just looked up their opponents FG% and it is a stellar 39.7. That ain't bad, but they are still overrated, and if Hansbrough was treated like every other player by the refs, they would a lot worse off.

i can't figure how vitale has them as his favorite to win it all before they lost today
they are good but flawed
to be fair i was leaning towards carolina today but did not make a play

I think to a T, all of the top teams are hard to read on the road. Many because they have so many young players like Carolina and Ohio State. At home, they're beasts, but on the road like today - you really see the flaws come out.

I think that was two of the five most overrated teams in the nation on the court today. UNC won't go any further than the Sweet 16 IMO, and it would take a minor miracle for VT to win a game in the tournament, if they even get in.
Their FG % defense looks good because they haven't played anyone that can shoot very well. This is not a good defensive team.
