Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1725555, member: 1423"] Virginia's a great defensive team, but not a great offensive team. And they don't like to run. That wound up costing them the game (we sped them up and went on a run). UNC has no such limitation. They kill you in the half-court with their size and front line skill. And if you turn it over (or speed them up by pressing), they kill you in transition. We had no answer for Johnson or Meeks (again). And Jackson might be the biggest x-factor for them .. he's long, but very mobile. Not a known 3pt threat, but he can hit an open three, get long rebounds and he's devastating in transition. They have so many quality bigs it's absolutely silly ... I mean, a team with Kennedy Meeks, Bryce Johnson, James AND Hicks? Are you kidding me? I think Nova's a very skilled team, excellent defense and great shooters. But UNC's size and depth just wears people down. I think it's UNC in the title game ... then we wait for the NCAA shoe to drop. [/QUOTE]
