The Tar Heel won't make the mistake Georgetown did... Williams is gonna shove his big men down our throats and he's got three good ones.

I’m more concerned about his guards sticking to JGIII like a bad freaking cold

 

[Briancuse]

We need Sidibe.

North Carolina can’t shoot so pack the zone and we can win. It’s an evenly matched game.

Well it is in Carolina so probably 8-5.

Then they get the offensive rebound

 

[Col. Bleep]

Then they get the offensive rebound

That is the problem.
This seems to be a game in which - in order to win - the Orange big men (such as they are) must limit their fouls and the team must shoot really well.

Maybe some of you missed the ACC tournament game last year. Both teams seem similar as far as strengths and weaknesses.

Except for the absence of Sidibe.

 

[UpstateSM]

We could be 30-0 and UNC could be 0-30 and I would feel hopeless looking at a game in the Dean Dome.

Regardless of how good or bad we are I’m always optimistic going into Cuse hoops and football games. Unless it’s UNC hoops. Then I just assume it’s an L and hope I’m surprised two hours later

 

[LockedOnSyr]

Think it should be a tight game tonight. How Joe and Buddy handle their perimeter D will be huge. We talked more about everything in our preview podcast. ‎Locked On Syracuse - Daily Podcast On Syracuse Orange Football & Basketball: UNC Preview: Can Syracuse Slow Down the Heels' Bigs and Matchups to Watch 1/12 on Apple Podcasts

Pittsburgh provides the blueprint how to beat SU. Basically use three or four big men. Only need one guard to distribute the ball.

What defense would they play with 4bigs. There wouldn't be mismatches to take advantage of? Who is covering Griffin, Buddy , Kadary and Joe?. What would happen if we pressed?

 

[Finwad32]

I predict Kadary gets bigger minutes tonight. We're going to need his athleticism to bring the ball up with any type of pressure. UNC's athletes are premier.
