I think we have the obvious coaching advantage against UNC, JB has been money head to head with him. That would be a crazy up and down game that would be fun to watch. We would absolutely have to bust our ass to get back and make them score against the 2-3 in the half court. I don'tknow that UNC would fair well against us for 40min on the defensive end. They seem to lose focus and play soft on that end quite often. They look sacary on paper and reading the names but it really hasn't translated that much against good competition even when they have won.

Kentucky won't get tested too much and they will be a 1 seed so chances are slim we would see them before the FF and they have not faired that well in the tourney. They would have major issues turning it over against us from what I have seen and young guards usually struggle against our 2-3 the first couple of times they play it. They will get better but I havn't been terribly impressed with thme yet although Davis is some kind of skilled big man and Lamb has really improved. Jones has looked worse this year to me and Teague is not Wall or even Knight IMO.

OSU to me seems like a team that we can really take its strengths away from using our 2-3. Sullinger doesn't score over the top of guys but he does have good range. Kraft really isn't a shooter. I think our D naturally limits these two or at least makes them play in ways they usually do not. Thomas has the potential to really hurt us from the middle of the zone. They are not nearly as deep as us.
