Who Else Has NORTH CAROLINA Winning It All???

**VegasInsider** · 03-20-11, 02:43 AM

North Carolina is getting through with their athleticism and raw ability. If you look at their last 4 games, it hasn't been pretty. They got down double digits to Maryland and Clemson before battling back and committed 15+ turnovers. In the ACC title game, they did the exact same thing but weren't going to get that same chance to come back against a great Duke team. Yesterday, they give up 87 (I think) points to LIU?!?

Too many turnovers, no defense and trying outscore their opponents isn't going to win a national title.

This is coming from a diehard Carolina fan, too.

VI, I don't think many people thought Richmond and Butler would be in the Sweet 16 either...

**VegasInsider** · 03-20-11, 02:49 AM

The public didn't, but after listening to Pitino today in the pregame a lot of the insider's of college basketball really liked this Richmond team to do damage.

I live in A10 country and have followed them all season. Never thought they'd win the A10 title...but they just hit their stride at the right time.

Think they will lose tomorrow.

**Shortstop** · 03-20-11, 02:54 AM

A North Carolina vs. Richmond title game would be awesome!

**jjgold** · 03-20-11, 07:29 AM

Any 16 teams come tonight will have a chance to win

Its pretty even

NC is poorly coached, they are not winning anything

nc is not near an elite team

**doublej95** · 03-20-11, 07:34 AM

no chance in Hell. Roy can't get this kids to focus for a whole game.

Well said.

think team is too young this year

**jjgold** · 03-20-11, 08:38 AM

Who knows maybe Walker can carry UConn to win it all.

I like their chances as well. This young group is maturing during the tourn and have a heck of a chance to winning it all.

**HR Paperstacks** · 03-20-11, 08:44 AM

I dont think they are that good. They got on a roll in a weak conference and then when they beat Duke in the second game everybody made them out to be better than they really are.

**ouman101** · 03-20-11, 08:48 AM

I think UNC is overrated and didn't deserve a 2 seed. I agree that they have been getting by, rather than winning. Once they play the tougher teams, we'll see how "good" they really are. Its a toss up today and if they get by, I think they lose next round.

**BamaBill67** · 03-20-11, 09:29 AM

UNC's passing was terrible and there turnovers were ridiculous against ULI , but they have enough to beat Wash .

**hockeyman30304** · 03-20-11, 10:03 AM

UNC vs Purdue in all my brackets its a lock

Wisc and U Conn other 2 in final 4 take it to the bank all these squares taking #1 seed teams...

**Shortstop** · 03-20-11, 01:29 PM

Winning ugly and now on to The Sweet Sixteen...

**the_situation** · 03-20-11, 01:30 PM

NC is a fraud and they have no defense...when they play a good team WITHOUT the refs on them and not on home soil they will get drilled.

**Soxsfan9** · 03-20-11, 01:38 PM

I have them in my final 4!!

**teecee** · 03-20-11, 01:48 PM

i took washington today, b/c everyone in my work pool had unc. almost panned out. what can you do? the play had a shot. a little salty right now. this is to win $400 bucks. kind of a big deal to this low roller.

you forgot that washington was also playing at 9:15 am, their time.

**dotheopposite** · 03-20-11, 02:01 PM

I think elite 8 is as far as UNC can go. They are a good team but not a great team yet. I don't see them being able to take down ohio state to make the final 4.

another good point.

**tarheels#1** · 03-20-11, 02:31 PM

um carolina has just as good of a shot as anybody to win this title! any one of these teams can beat each other on any given day. cases proving that norther iowa over kansas, and also butler over pitt last night! the refs may have been " on their side " or could it have been they were just getting fouled alot? hmmmmm

**tarheels#1** · 03-20-11, 02:32 PM

kentucky will beat osu...

**jmush** · 03-20-11, 02:49 PM

cuse can take them down gotta get past marquette 1st tho

**No coincidences** · 03-20-11, 03:38 PM

I still think Roy is a sub-par coach and this team doesn't have the experience nor play the defense needed to get to the FF, let alone win a title.
