For what it's worth, here's my take on the game.
Yeah, most likely this will be a dookie win. They are better in almost every category...offensive, defensive, everything. But dook has lost 3 of their last 5, in those three losses shooting very poorly. Unfortunately, all 3 of those poor shooting performances were on the road. Reddick is going to cause huge problems for the Heels on defense and just might be the deciding factor.
So what do the heels have going for them? This is a rivalry. You can't judge these games by stats. For some reason, these players turn up the heat in the limelight. They seem to play to the level of their opponents. Minus the Kentucky game, UNC has played their best basketball against their best opponents for the most part. What needs to happen is that Jawad Williams needs to step up and be a leader. If he can do this, UNC should be in the game.
I think on paper dook would win this by 15+. They still very well might win this by 20 pts. I just have a gut feeling that UNC will be in this game (note...my gut has been wrong before
)
I just think 14 or so is too many points to give. And UNC ML for +625. It's worth a small play in my opinion.
UNC +14
UNC ML +625 small
I think that in the first 8 minutes you'll see if this is gonna be a game or not. It is crucial that the heels come out strong and quiet the crown somewhat. If they come out laying bricks while dook bombs from 3 point land and get's on a roll, there's no way in hell the heels will withstand the onslought.
Inside (very inside) word is that the team has horrible chemistry, they hate Doherty and are again threatning to transfer, and that McCant's doesn't get along with anybody and stays to himself. This could be huge because to make it in Cameron you need to stick together. Still like my picks though.
Good luck everyone
