The Vols, who are not good, are currently up on the Heels 64-59 with 6:30 left.

Go Tennessee!

I should have never started this thread. Heels go on a quick 4-0 run right after and now the lead is just one. Damn.

Kenny Williams is the hero Carolina has been looking for. #shouldabeenafivestar

We know Berry is really good, but man does UNC really rely on him. They're a fringe top 15 or 20 team without him.

That was a smart veteran play Bradley made to win that game. He plays beyond his years at times.

But Tennessee is on par with UNLV and if people still aren't impressed with the discipline Duke showed yesterday, just look at this lapse.

Dang, UT just choked at the end. The shortest player for UT dribbled right into the teeth of the defense. STUPID decision at the end!

My dad was saying over Thanksgiving that he thinks UNC is the best team in college basketball. Can't decide if he was just saying it to piss me off (Maryland fan; you know how that goes). We might need to revisit that conversation after this game :D

Just like Duke's win over UNLV, UNC's struggle over Tennessee proves that one game doesn't make a team. Despite this, we all know UNC is world's better than Tennessee, even though they didn't prove it in one game at home after a week's break. :rolleyes: But they'll come to Cameron and give Duke the game of the century. That's college basketball in a nutshell.

I don't think Carolina is that great. I honestly don't believe they are top ten even with Berry. As for Tennessee they aren't a great team but they have been trending up as the season has went so much that some articles were written in Tennessee saying they had a chance and that this was a program building game for the Barnes era

Well hokie, I almost never go there, because I know anything goes in a Duke unc matchup, but I think we wear them out both meetings this year as long as Tatum and what we have now stay healthy.

Just goes to show you how freaking crucial Berry is to that team. Don't discount them when he's on the floor guys, they're absolutely a top ten team with him. They're no where close to Duke though when we get rolling, few would be.

Yeah, Tennessee is not a good team. Even without Berry I assumed it would be a nice rollover win for the Heels....but without Berry they're pretty average-looking.

-- Jay Bilas less than 2 weeks ago[/QUOTE]


That was 2 weeks ago and at the time they were playing like the best team in the country. Things change quickly. It's a long season that is just getting underway. I hope the heels have a horrible season and don't even get invited to the NIT but not counting on it. Gonna be some kind of season and I'm trying to figure out which 3 other teams are going to the final four besides Duke. OFC

Berry makes that team what they are, just like any good Roy Williams team. If he doesn't have a point guard that can go, he doesn't have a great team.
Pg play is by far the most important position in college bball . you almost always need good pg play to have a great team. Duke is just that loaded this year to make up for it.

What did he say?
Starts out saying long time reader first time poster and at the end of his first comment ask has Roy called a timeout. Second poast ask how can Duke win with multiple injuries and Carolina has only one. Third poast he says no way they can beat Duke or Villanova. He says Britt looks like a lesbian in the last poast.

Which leads me to believe solid all around team play is more important than one really good point guard.

Yeah they think he's a Duke troll. They better hope he's a troll and not one of theirs. He is funny though. Tombstone time. R.I.P. OFC

Agree but you need a pg or combo guard to lead the team when the going gets tough. So many PGS have willed their teams to wins in the tournament. It bothers me that teams can press duke and we don't exploit it. I'm now reminiscing of Jason Williams vs USC in the tournament just carving up their press by himself leading to layups and dunks.
