UNC will be tough to beat in tourney

MJFtheGenius · 03-08-08, 06:53 PM

It's definetly not going to be a cakewalk beating them

dizzyd · 03-08-08, 06:54 PM

i'm going with UCLA to win it all (and yes I saw their narrow win today), but of course I have to see how the match-ups come out when the bracket is released before making it my official pick.

Give me odds on UNC not winning the tourney.

raydog · 03-08-08, 06:58 PM

hansborough will be dominated if he steps in the paint against dorsey and memphis. better teamwork is the only way they beat memphis. hansborough just another good college whitey who doesnt have the game for the nba. glad he will get some good money his first few years in the nba. kid works hard. he will have to change his game dramatically if he wants to play in the pros.

raydog · 03-08-08, 06:59 PM

oh dear god, we want odds on ucla not winning as well...

dizzyd · 03-08-08, 07:04 PM

They play good D and have good inside-out game. Good coach too who has taken them deep past 2 years. I believe to the finals and then final 4.

I'm not too sure about Memphis. They are good, but their FT shooting absolutely scares me. Close game towards the end I would just foul their guys and put them on line if I was on the other team.

HAHAHA

Just like they did to the Vols!!!! Carolina is Tennessee with Hansborough and Ty Lawson.

memphis plays a lot of individual ball. calipari has a hard time getting them to run the right plays. bunch of street ballers but unc doesnt match up that well with them. duke and unc are just so much more disciplined than other schools. always gotta be favs to be in the hunt. will be a fun tourney to watch.

Louisvillekid1 · 03-08-08, 07:16 PM

Very tough team to beat obv!

NO defense, it will hurt 'em

raydog · 03-08-08, 07:21 PM

sorry genius, didnt know memphis wasnt allowed to play a bad game against a top ranked team. how bout the asswhoopin tennesse took at vandy??? every team plays bad games. hell, memphis played worse against usc than they did against tenn. i wasnt saying that unc couldnt go all the way, i was saying that hansborough wont be dominant in the paint when he faces dorsey.. unc has a great chance to get hammered tonight if they dont watch it. senior night and duke homecookin usually spells disaster.

MJFtheGenius · 03-08-08, 07:33 PM

Tennesse never got an ass whoopin they were leading with like 10 min to go. Vandy has not lost at home all year. And what you really said was "hansborough will be dominated". Yea it just so happens memphis played bad against the best team they played all year.

jjgold · 03-08-08, 07:41 PM

I am all over UNC tonight

Louisvillekid1 · 03-08-08, 07:46 PM

Genius & pavy,

Who has UNC beat?

NOBODY!!!!!

Hopefully they beat duke tonight for me, but what's their best wins?

@ BYU? CLEMSON? OHIO ST? DAVIDSON? KENTUCKY?

The conference is very top heavy, they are very untested.

I can't make a prediction on how far they go until seening the potential matchups.

But I don't think they make the Final Four as of now.

Louisvillekid1 · 03-08-08, 07:47 PM

Those non conference wins are awesome!!!

Defintely auto team to win 6 straight non conference games on a neutral court.

Deuce · 03-08-08, 07:48 PM

They have no outside perimeter defense. They will get buried against a team that shoots 3's.

raydog · 03-08-08, 08:00 PM

like i said genius, they played worse against usc. im still sitting here thinking kansas is the team to beat. hard to bet against duke or unc.

coach, ive looked up and down this game and cant find a single reason to make a play. i think a healthy unc team is a better team but fuk man, its senior night, duke homecookin and its hard as fuk to win on the road in conf. play. shit is stacked high against unc. there is no value in playing any side imo. good luck with your plays guys

pavyracer · 03-08-08, 08:03 PM

Davidson, BYU, Ohio St, Kent St, Clemson, Miami, Florida St are all tourney teams so they will have the advantage if they meet them at the tourney.

Don't forget that Lawson was out on the couple games they struggled and they were blowing teams out when Lawson and Hansbrough were in full health. Very rarely do you get a combination of a top notch point guard and top notch center//forward in one team playing great going into a tournament. This team has the same talent if not better to the team that beat Illlinois for the title a few years back. Watch out boys!

Hahaha what the fuk are you smokin LV1?

UNC is #2 in the RPI

4-1 vs top 25 in the RPI
3-0 vs 26-50 in the RPI
5-0 vs 50-100 in the RPI

Clemson is better then any team Memphis beat besides Georgetown. Almost any team in the ACC is better then every team Memphis beat besides Georgetown. Don't give that arguement because it really makes you look like you don't know what your talking about. I'm sure you were aware of all these numbers anyway I did not have to tell you

MJFtheGenius · 03-08-08, 08:13 PM

Good point made by Pavy as well. All of those teams are tourney teams.

pavyracer · 03-08-08, 11:03 PM

Who said Tar Heels can't play defense?

Is someone going to kidnap Bill Self? If he is on the sideline cancel Kansas.

WileOut · 03-08-08, 11:15 PM

Hansbrough gets his shot either tied up or blocked more times than any person I've ever seen play the game.

Then again look at Tim Duncan. Not very athletic but one of the best of all time. Duncans got a couple more inches on Hansbrough though and longer arms.

MJFtheGenius · 03-08-08, 11:28 PM

Hansbourough had a bad game

thegreatdiatchi · 03-09-08, 04:08 AM

louisville1 & mo...good call on the unc game & congrats. i was thinking duke and it was looking that way until unc locked things down at the end. unc doesn't have much of a defense but even so i'm really starting to wonder who could knock them off come tourney time.
