    Who Else Has NORTH CAROLINA Winning It All???

    Since everyone else likes Kansas, Ohio State or Duke...

    I took North Carolina!

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
