I wasnt watching the game where UNC beat UL or UConn. They may be ranked #1, but its just like last year. A handful of really good teams then a big drop-off

How can you claim Louisville holds a candle to UNC? They're not even #2 in the country. Could they even beat Notre Dame or UConn? If you have to question that then they're surely not close to Carolina. UNC won by 15 easily with McAlarney going nuts and dropping 40. Who in the country can guard Ty Lawson except maybe the guy at Michigan State (forgetting his name and don't feel like looking it up).
Go Gaels tomorrow!
Oh and by the way... I think Wake would beat Louisville on an average night. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.Comment -
No. Last year there were 4 or 5 incredible teams and then a big drop off. This year there is UNC, a drop off, a dozen very very good teams (which Louisville is in the top 3 of these teams), and then a huge drop off.Originally posted by TPowellComment -
APPARENTLY THERE ISNT MUCH LEFT IN THAT CRACK PIPE IF YOU THINK WAKE WOULD BE ON LOUISVILLE LOL. For the last time, I already said you could tell the rest of Notre Dame wasn't physically ready to play. Louisville's #3 in the nation and I said both UConn and UL. I forgot to mention Pittsburgh though. Blair would be a LOAD inside for UNC to handle.Comment -
guy UNC may not lose a game this year. Louisville is ranked preseason top 5 every year and does nothing. they are no better this year than they were last year.Comment -
does nothing? An Elite 8 is hardly nothing GUY. A little disapointing, but you are an IDIOT if you think Louisville isn't better this year than last year. North Carolina also doesn't play in the BIG EASTComment -
guys I'm not saying that UNC doesnt deserve to be #1 in the nation. I'm just saying that the polls in November really dont matter and neither does how you're playing. Look at Lousiville last year. Lost to Dayton and Purdue (before they got good) early on, but ended up playing great in March by POUNDING Oklahoma and Tennessee before losing a close one to UNCComment -
guy go on louisville rivals or scout site and post about the team, no one cares about them on hereComment -
North Carolina might lose one game in the Big East this year. MIGHT. Louisville will be lucky to get out with 3 losses. And thats generous. Blair vs. Hansbrough. You're kidding right? Are you really trying to argue that even a healthy Blair would have any shot against Hansbrough? There are two guys in the country that I'm scared of down low...and those two are Blake Griffin and Hasheem Thabeet.
C'mon man... gimme a break.Comment -
And to build on my last post. Oklahoma has no one who can guard Lawson or Ellington. And I've been saying from the beginning of the season that UConn is the only team who might be able to steal the championship away from the Heels this season.Comment -
are you stupid??? Have you seen Blair play? The guy is an absolute monster inside. He's not better than the 2 you mentioned but he is a force down low. UNC would lose AT LEAST 2 games in the Big East this yearComment -
dwest you're a Carolina backer right? I just noticed how you said "we" in you're last postComment -
And don't get me wrong. The Big East is an incredible conference. And UConn and Louisville and Notre Dame and Pitt all have very good teams that should reach the Final Four. But UNC beats Notre Dame and Pitt 9 out of 10 times, Louisville 8.5 out of 10 times, and UConn 7.5 out of 10 times.Comment -
lol 8 and 9 out of 10 times? You're not beating any solid team 9 out of 10 timesComment -
I am a Carolina backer... however I never said we... and I'm never scared to bet against us ATS. I think I'm 6-1 betting UNC this season so far. I'll go back and check.Originally posted by TPowellComment -

Did you not watch the game tonight? Carolina dominated all aspects of the game after the first 5 minutes. Notre Dame came out shooting the lights out and McAlarney put up like 25 in the last 8 minutes and we still won comfortably by 15. 
COMFORTABLY. Against the #8 team in the country!
I'll repeat. Comfortably! With Hansbrough still not completely healthy.
Cincinnati should be in the national championship for football right? And the Final 4 will be UConn, Pitt, Syracuse, and Louisville? Maybe Carolina if one of those teams has an off day?
Comment -
UNC got a break by playing Oregon instead of Texas last night. Notre Dame was obviously tired like 5 minutes into the gameComment -
So being tired is the only reason they were down 25 the whole game? If they're a talented team that has a chance to beat Carolina, then they should be able to hold it to 10-15 the entire game whether they're tired or not... not be down 25-30 points the whole game and have to go nuts at the end of the game to pull it close to 10.
Make a point and stick to it.Comment -
I've been saying this FOR ****ING EVER and you just now acknowledge that???Comment -
So you're saying that Notre Dame isn't a talented team... ok.Originally posted by TPowell
Or are you saying that Cinci should be in the BCS National Championship
Comment -
do you really think that Louisville will let UNC run up and down the court like Notre Dame did? When you think about that game, why in the hell was Notre Dame trying to run with UNC???? Louisville will slow the pace down and make UNC win by running offense which they aren't very good at. Louisville is probably the best defensive team in the nation this yearComment -
take this from someone who lives in north carolina.the tar hells play in the acc.Originally posted by dwest718

the ACC is a laughable conference lolComment -
The ACC is a laughable football conference. They're also a bit down in basketball. 4 locks for the NCAA tourney is nothing to brag about. I understand that. I gave credit where credit is due. The Big East is a great basketball conference. Probably a better basketball conference than the Big 12 is a football conference.
However, UNC is head and shoulders above everyone in the country. Go put a few dimes down on 14-1 if you're so confident in your Big East teams. One of them has to beat Carolina right? 3-2 doesn't lie.Comment -
I've already put my money on Louisville so I'm way ahead of ya budComment -
And yes... there is no one in the country who can run with Ty Lawson. And Ed Davis is one of the quickest 4s in the country.Originally posted by TPowell
No one knows why Notre Dame was trying to run with UNC. However, no one can slow down UNC so maybe running with them is the only thing you can do.Comment -
And I have money on Carolina at 3-1. To each his own. There's a reason Louisville is 14/15-1Comment -
lol Louisville will smother UNC so they will have NO CHOICE but to slow down. Thats what ****ed Louisville last year. They pressed Lawson and he burned us, but we switched out and made UNC play half court offense and it worked until Hansbrough started making outside shots at the endComment -
dwest, the reason is the name on the front of the jerseyComment -

Last year I was scared shitless when Tyler decided to start jacking up 17 foot jumpers. This year I'm almost happy.
Play zone and slow the pace of the game down. Carolina will just win 75-60 instead of 95-80. It doesn't matter.... what everyone is forgetting is theyre actually playing defense this year.Comment -
I feel like people aren't making a big enough deal about Deon Thompson dunking the **** out of the ball over Harangody. Since when did Deon stop playing like Brendan Haywood?Comment -
everybody dunks on Harangody, he's not a defensive player at all. Louisville will put up more than 60 by the way. I see a 78-74 kind of gameComment -
Sorry T but like the others have said, the cards can't hang with the Heels. Too much size. Better shooters.Comment -
too much size? You dont know jack about college hoopsComment
