Going out on a limb starting this thread
 
Hoping we can keep it under 10 at halftime. Not sure I can handle another 40 minute beatdown like Saturday.
 
Unfortunately, more like they demoted Cheater Hill from ESPN due to their opponent. :(

We'll show them- coach 'em up DM!
 
Not sure if it's worth a scouting report based upon kenpom numbers, but here goes:

UNC, as usual, is great on offense (#2 in the nation), but weaker on defense (#66 - which is more than 100 spots better than WF).

On offense, UNC is top 40 in every statistical category except 3pt. % (32.7% #226) , and surprisingly, getting to the line (#238). UNC is really tough inside shooting a strong percentage on 2 point baskets (55.5%), getting offensive boards (#8 in the country), and they don't turn the ball over (#12 in TO%). UNC is much weaker on defense. They particularly don't defend the 3 well (38.2% #313 in country).

UNC has not lost since December 12 (at Texas), and they are unbeaten and unchallenged at home (10-0; closest game was a 9 point win over MD).

Even if WF was hitting on all cylinders, this would be a tough game. After the worse performance of the season, hard to be optimistic. Would be nice if UNC had a big game to look ahead to, but they play VT and BC next.

Think that WF will play hard, but they will need an epic shooting night from 3, and UNC to sleep walk for the final 10 minutes to matter.
 
The 'cuse blow out probably helps us here. Roy has to make sure his guys take us seriously. We need to play well and UNC needs to take us for granted.
 
Yup we probably need one of those epic Dinos games and UNC to miss a bunch of threes just to keep it close.
 
Who the fuck is Troy Rike and why is he listed as WFU's "Player to Watch" on ESPN.com right now?
 
We need to play Collins and Moore a lot to match up with their size. I really hope the Mclinton at center with 4 guards lineup has been abandoned. BTW, the egg laid by Pitt last night in the first half was good to see.

we're gonna need a lot more production out of troy than that if we want a chance tonight
 
Maybe Troy is the guy we'll use Coach K style to rough up Paige. If that's the case, he could definitely be an impact player with just 1 point and 2 rebounds.
