IC Thread states UNC will be better than Duke!

We can argue semantics all we want. Here's reality, though....both teams have played 15 conference games. UNC has won 12 and Duke has won 10.

Something tells me that if the situations were reversed, UNC fans would be whining about the schedule and Duke fans would be telling them to shut up. That's what fans do.
 
Vegas says home team is worth 3.

Question? Does unc beat us if you had Hicks? Since we are all playing the what if game.

No. The way you were shooting you would have won. Might have been closer but everything was clicking for Duke that night

Not necessarily... Jefferson had maybe the worst game of his career, Matt Jones had 3 total points, and Tatum shot around 35 percent...

Very true. But some of our best players also didn't do very well. Meeks was nonexistent, Jackson was quiet down the stretch and Berry made some piss poor decisions right at the end.

It was pretty 50/50 most of the game until the end when Allen and Tatum hit those threes.
 
UNC doesn't defend the perimeter well due to the fact that their guards are small and they have bigs that can't defend outside of 3 feet of the basket. Tatum, Allen, Kennard and Jackson all had open looks and nailed them.

The transition game UNC runs also opens up an opposing team's three point attempts.

UNC's bigs are big but not terriblely athletic. UNC has one great guard in Berry and a great wing in Jackson but that's it on the perimeter and a bunch of above average big men like Meeks and Hicks.

Nova beat UNC in the Championship game last year the way Duke beat UNC this year. Nova had a bunch of great perimeter players and UNC couldn't guard them.
