They'd be lucky to finish above .500 in the Big East this year.

A little overrated, they do not have the ability to make the big defensive stop when they need to. Although there is no shame in losing to Wake on the road.

UNC definitely is overrated, but you have to give props to Teague. Possibly the best PG in the country just made Lawson his bitch.

Notre Dame is horrible away from home but Harangody wasnt at full strength to start with. My opinion won't change on UNC until March. They may win the ACC for all I know but I see them going down short of the Final 4 unless they get a fortunate draw (playing in Charlotte)

I will have to say that NC is overrated. They do not play good defense and those types of teams dont win championships

Louisville, Pitt, and UConn would like a word with you sir. Never underestimate Louisville because of poor starts. UConn can beat anybody on any given day and Pitt is the best team in the Big East RIGHT NOW.

Thats ridiculous, it would be fun to see Pitt or Uconn's tough defense go against the high flying UNC offense.

I'd put Louisville's defense up there with UConn and Pitt. UConn would ABUSE North Carolina down low

It's not shit talking, it realistically looking at the situation. If you realistically look at Pitt, they don't have very good outside shooters. Every team has a fault, UNC included.

I made my best decision of the day by not playing UNC or UCLA. Went 3-2 with my 2 biggest plays hitting so I just bet a little 4 play teaser with the UNC/WF and UCLA/USC that is dead now lol

It's not about being a lil bitch it's about going off of what you have seen from NC numerous of times this year. They don't defend well. Teams like Pitt and UConn would have there way with them like Wake did tonight. I actually thought Wake dominated this game tonight.

Some people thought they were the best team in at least a decade so by definition, they are probably a little overrated. They play a very high tempo game so its not a surprise they give up a lot of points, but I think their defensive efficiency is in the top 20.

UNC's not a bad defensive team, and their defensive effort tonight, while not quite up to their standards, wasn't all that poor. This was a game between the No. 3 and No. 4 teams in the country in possessions per game. Hence the final score. Pace leads to points, regardless of the defensive quality of the two teams. Truth is, UNC's been one of the most efficient defenses in the country.
But they're absolutely overrated, as they are every season. There's no way they're 10+ pts. better than Wake on a neutral floor, as the closing line would suggest.

Ya, it is surprisingly high, although I think that is more based on their superior talent, guys who are talented can overwhelm teams that are clearly inferior. That being said, when they go up a against a team that has a similar talent level, Wake being a good example, they can't stop them to save their life.
As a team, their mindset is not on the defensive end.

Scouts starting to think Hansborough will be an average nba player at best, his stock is dropping quickly.
Williams is one of worst coaches in Country

UNC is still a very dangerous team... Pitt is not a #1 IMO yet.... they are a quality program that has to get a big win in the tourney over the past what 6,7 years?
Young may be the go to real scorer that can create his own shot that they've needed. Hoping one of their young guys can be a consistent 3 point shooting threat.... Gibbs, Dixon looking alot better lately
but wanna see how Pitt responds to being #1 and having everyone gun for them... this is a team that has thrived as an under dog and feeling under-rated/over looked... now the pressure is on them

I am not a Pitt fan but from what I've seen so far this college hoops season, they are a legit #1 team. Blair is simply a beast on the boards. The kid's amazing. They play great D, they can run, they can shoot, etc. I truly feel this is the year they break through the Sweet 16 and at least make it to the Final 4 and maybe then some.

I was trying to find a future bet and seeing what North Carolina winning the National Championship was.. I would think there would be great value now that they are 0-2 in ACC.
