I still feel like Carolina will murder us down low with Henson and Zeller blocking 75% of CJL's and Howell's shots. 1/16/2012 11:44:18 AM |

You can't seriously have that expectation even after the FSU game. We have a better chance than many thought at the beginning of the season but there's no way that is a should win game. GT already showed what happens when we expect to win.1/16/2012 11:46:57 AM |

well hopefully Gottfried will develop a strategy that involves plays for Scott Wood/CJ Williams (in depth) to shift the defensive presence to the perimeter which should allow for us to use some backdoor cuts and low post passes. 1/16/2012 11:47:16 AM |

we have no chance. we cannot compete with their bigs. howell is undersized, tbdv isnt playing, and painter is still painter

I think we have a chance, if we play like we did against WFU and not GT. I think we have a chance, but it is not a "should win" by any stretch of the imagination. 1/16/2012 12:00:39 PM |

we have a chance, but we'd need our starting 5 to play 35+ minutes of A+ basketball
UNC has shown they are soft, so we'd need to punch them in the throat out of the gate and not let up 1/16/2012 12:12:25 PM |

Look, the only reason FSU won is because they hit 12 3-point shots. Carolina was 4-21 from 3. They just got outshot.
We certainly have the talent to hit some big 3s but we have to design plays to make this happen or we'll get crushed.
so far, we have nothing ready for this type of offense
Gottfried has to adjust to each team or he won't be successful against the really good ones

^^you don't win by 30 plus because you hit 12 3pointers. Unc played absolutely awful on both sides of the ball and gave up showing their softness.

to be fair, while they did have a number of open shots, it was the wrong players shooting those shots. our defense was taking harris and mckie out of the offensive scheme by roughing them on cuts and disrupting offensive timing. if you have guys like chennault, nikita and chase jacking up 3's thats a win. I know we'd be pissed as shit if howell was jacking up 4 3's in a game, many of which with 20 seconds or so left on the shot clock.1/16/2012 1:38:45 PM |

That is not the only reason they lost. They lost because they played like shit. If they had played like "carolina", Dulkys wouldn't have been hitting wide open 3's all fucking game. UNC played like they didn't give a damn and it showed.1/16/2012 1:43:32 PM |

I mean, its arizona state, not exactly a highly regarded institution. I'm not surprised their fans can't tell the difference between a trident and a pitchfork. But just because they're idiots doesn't mean we have to stoop to their level
