Ken Pom says UNC 82-70

Better shoot the 3 well and shoot a lot of them. They start 3 that are taller than our tallest. 6’8”, 6’10” and 6’11”. May not get a rebound.

Pretty sure Louisville had a size advantage on us and not only did we rebound, we outrebounded them.

UNC is bigger than Louisville plus we are smaller, had 6’9” Hien starting now 6’4” Foster.

In the Net rankings we win and lose 5 spots and ASU loses and drops one spot. Clempson hasn’t played all week and has gained 25 spots.

yep. Dins dont stand a chance. Should be 40 point blow out with UNC walk-ons playing most of 2nd H. Not even worth UNC gameplanning for. In fact, Dins should save travel and just forfeit game. Good opp for UNC to rest starters

Foster has longer reach, stronger hands and better hops.

UNC just screwed around with Elon tonight before winning 80-63 their largest lead of the night. Elon is awful, 0-8 against D1 losing every game by double digits except a 6 point loss to High Point. UNC shot 39% for the game and 30% from 3. They also shot 35 free throws to Elon’s 9. Expect similar disparity tuesday. Of course they won’t play or shoot that way against FU tuesday. They will come out with their pants on fire.

UNC message board (one of them):
https://247sports.com/college/north-car ... ll-102713/

That UNC article was a little condescending IMHO. "Tuesday the Heels take on another team from a lower conference."

What they forgot to say was "at home". How many true OOC road games have they played?

That "lower conference" has already beaten 2 ACC teams and 1 SEC team, among others on the road.

Richey ought to put that up on the bulletin board.

Give UNC a little credit. They did play at Charleston this year and have played at WC, UNC-A and UNC-W. You won’t see Duke doung that.

Agreed...I have much more respect for UNC than Duke...Duke hasn't played a non conference away game since like the early 80s...They have literally 0 true road wins in non conf play...I didn't have a problem with the article.

Well, it's true, not condescending. They are playing another team from a lower conference. In fact, they will have played 7 teams from lower conferences before they finish OOC games; and they will have played 5 teams from non-lower conferences . Maybe the writer was being critical of UNC's OOC schedule, maybe he/she was just telling a fact, but I do not believe it was condescending, nor do I see any reason for Richey to use the article as motivation.
