Hope you're right, Pixel. Other than winning a natty not many things are better than kickin' that Heel ass.

They have zero answer for our bigs. If Grayson or Trent either one is on, I think it could get ugly for them.
But it'll already be ugly for them with Luke's eyebrows out there!
They were a 1-seed w/ 7 losses last year, so I wouldn't zero-in on the L column too closely. Who are their big wins? Clemson? Tennessee?
Oh if they win Saturday they’ll be ranked. They could have ten losses and still be ranked.

I agree, we have struggled with teams that aren't as good, and it's rivalry game.
I think it’s pretty premature to start that talk right now. Their RPI/SOS is the best in country and they do have some pretty impressive wins. If they go 9-9 in conference play they’re safely in....at 8-10 they become more of a bubble team, but their resume would still be solid. They get an easy win at home vs. Pitt this Saturday that will make them 6-5. I haven’t looked at their schedule (but know it’s pretty tough) closely....can they go 2-5 the last seven, or even 1-6? That doesn’t seem likely to me.
Still no stats n’ stuff from Gary over at THR after last night’s game. Whose job was it to call and check on him this time?
I do know big bird had quite a few blown layups last night.
For some odd reason there is quite a contrast in Big Luke's productivity when he plays against better teams... I can't figure it out. Must be bad luck, I guess. He's still my MVP, though.
Luke's stats in 17 games against unranked opponents:
20.9 ppg, 11.7 reb, 55.3 fg%
Luke's stats in 6 games against ranked opponents:
9.7 ppg, 6.8 reb, 35.8 fg%

They have been very uninspiring in league play.. Almost lost to Wake at home and to an undermanned Notre Dame team, too... But they played very well in the out of conference games. They have 4 very quality wins that I think will help Carolina maintain a relatively high seed, unfortunately:
RPI rankings of out-of-conference wins for UNC:
#25 Arkansas (Neutral),
#35 Michigan (Home)
#13 Tennessee (Road)
#22 Ohio State (Neutral)
Caution to anyone who thinks the game at Chapel Hole will be an easy win for us. You can expect them to be fired up and hitting on all cylinders at their place with over 20,000 rabid fans. If we can get out of the Dome with a win period we should all be very happy.
However, 82 to 50 or something similar would be much better and allow us to profess our superiority for years to come.

Not only will UNC make the tournament, they'll probably be given a 6 seed. They'll play their first 2 games in Charlotte against a team that flies in from the West Coast. They'll make the Sweet 16 with a mediocre team. On the bright side, they may be as bad or worse next year w/o their one star, Berry. It may take them 3 or more seasons to approach the level they saw during the years they held back their top stars for 3-4 years.
To be realistic all I think they need to do is win 20 games total but for some odd reason they don't make the NCAA tourney and go to the NIT they may have back to back championship banners hanging in the dome. On another note should they not make the NCAA tourney can the unc fans start a petition granting them an automatic bid because of just being unc and that they are a privileged institution. OFC
duke 2x
at Syracuse
at Louisville
at state
Miami at home
notre Dame at home
that's brutal
they are playing teams that are playing for their tournament lives like notre Dame state and Syracuse
I hope they make it as a 3-4 seed...that will help me in my bracket since I always pick them to lose in the first or second round anyways.
I think he sprained his wrist writing an essay....not sure though.
The year that UNC was in the NIT last was a 17 loss season. They'll be at worst 11 losses THIS season and like others have pointed out they do have some quality wins so I doubt they'll be NIT bound. The next couple of seasons are a stronger possibility for that.
How great would it be to see them just hanging on to a NCAA spot this year while watching us win the natty and then next season they watch from NIT as we win it back to back?

pitt is bound to get a win at some point and saturday would be perfect
and uva is due for loss.........whats the odds one team goes undefeated and another defeated
Well, Pitt actually played pretty well (for them, anyway) last night in Miami. That said, I don't give the Panthers much of a chance.
