I don't really ever pay attention to this stuff but historically how accurate is this stuff?

Honestly, I don't know. He's right far more than he is wrong, though. KenPom actually predicted all three of our games against UNC right this season.

Zags over the Heels. Meeks ain't shoving the Mountain under the rim and stealing a rebound. FTB.



Here's a jpeg.

Good one. Most would agree that losing in the second round of the tourney is on par with losing in the title game.
Yes, the title game in football that you only had to get past one round to get to. This is a basketball message board and since we're on the subject, how are you handling that first-round loss in the NIT? Roll Tried!

If UNC wins it all there will be a bright, intense spotlight put on its program. I doubt the NCAA wants that....Gonzaga wins....I'm just sayin'.

See, I just don't think this Heels team is as talented as people think, or maybe I mean uber-talented. And I don't mean that to be a slight to them. It's kind of like our team in 2010. They have some great college players but the talent gap isn't overwhelming.....and that's been proven in them playing three really close game to this point.

What the Heels have on their side is they're veteran bunch who has reached this point before. The sting of last April's loss is still fresh in their minds and they're reminded of it daily. It draws better focus, IMO.

I would argue UNC had more overall talent, and even a better team, last season, in 2011 and 2012, too. Those teams just didn't finish. Sometimes teams are categorically great because they do something great. But I don't pretend to think Duke 2010 was a better team than Duke 1999, Duke 2004 and even to an extent, Duke 2006. That 2010 team just did something special that those others couldn't finish upon.

I dunno , ya'll. True , they're not a powerhouse but they're very good and they've escaped some games where it looked like they were on the ropes. Being good is part of it but so is havin' things break just right for ya...4 missed ft's and 2 offensive boards in less than 5 seconds? They really didn't play all that well ( other than Meeks ) vs Oregon anyway. They gonna put two "so-so" games back to back? Some of this has the look of "destiny" to it. Hope I'm wrong. I know that's a buzzkill an' a half.

Too bad Bama didn't get past the spiders in the first round of NIT. Idiot!


And UT ( Again , in the NIT ) once as well and an 8-20 and a massive investigation. That's 3 seasons unx missed the NCAA's ENTIRELY and the prospect of draconian sanctions moving forward. I can live with the early exits and 2 nattys in 5 years but , hey , that's jus' me.

It could be 'destiny', DevilDJ, and then again, it could be about time for that horseshoe to fall out of Roy's ***.

The last report is they are making a saddle to fit around Karnowski's shoulders and neck with stirrups for easy mounting so right from the tip off meeks can climb right up into the saddle at tip off saddle and ride him all night and occasionally during time outs hicks and bradley can get a ride also. OFC


And now Karnowski is going to have to play the whole game with his shoe strings tied together also. OFC

So your prediction would give UNCheat their 6th championship. If that happens, should we start our predictions on how many they'll have vacated? Maybe someone can start the poll tomorrow morning.
Ok, somebody make this happen tomorrow. By the way, when will the NCAA address the increasingly huge elephant that's in the room?

Never. They are afraid of unc. Oh they may bark like a little dog does but will run away when confronted. OFC

That's pretty much what the cartoon illustrates....Elephant? Where? (the caption) meaning there is no elephant and UNCheat*** will skate.

Emmert can't explain how Uconn lost $100M+ when he oversaw football stadium construction. Really think he's gonna make this UNC thing stick, no way.
