At least in this fan's opinion, the Cards are playing the best ball of the season at this time. They are at the top of almost every statistic category for conference only games.* The UNC game could be a tough one as Carolina is a talented team but often play a bit undisciplined. It is a home game for the Tarheels, however, and they are playing against the #3 team which has to be a big incentive.

No let down, please ladies!!!

They certainly are playing very well. Have they peaked? I don’t think so. Little things here and there can still be improved upon.
Consistency at the 5
Reducing bad TOs
Getting to the FT line more often
Continued confidence/performance by Verhulst

These are not significant shortfalls; rather, small things I think can still help this team be at its very best.

I don’t think we have peaked yet but I do think we are playing good and the main thing I keep talking about is they look like they are having fun. I think this helps them from getting burned out, I know I am not burned out watching them. I record all their games and watch them a couple of times before I delete them. There are a couple of teams right now who are starting to struggle and when you watch them play they don’t look like they are having a good time.

This is the best team since 2018. I thought then, and still do, that team was the best team in the country at the end of that season. Right now I think USC is playing the best but the Cards aren’t far behind.

uSC is certainly a beast.
This team shares the ball. They do not seem to be concerned over who is scoring. They all play defense. Epitome of a Team. I wish we had a couple of more home games.
