Uggh.. I hate this site sometimes. I had a response written and it completely deleted it.

I will summarize. All 3 of UNC's big wins were against teams who play a style of defense that allows UNC to thrive. UK and MSU play pressure MTM and Louisville presses to fall back to their zone. All of these let UNC play fast. That is one thing you should never let a Royboy team do. Add that to the fact that in addition to letting them play fast, UNC could then use their size inside to impact the game even more. Once UNC gets into a good offensive flow they play better in the half court as well.

From a matchup perspective the major concern outside of them getting down the court quickly is if they can get production from Mcadoo in the middle or have mcdonald and paige get hot from 3. I am sure we will see a few lobs to tokoto as well. Offensively they will have better success against us than they did miami. Defensively, as long as we don't completely stink it up shooting the ball I don't think they can stop us. It will take a massive game from their forwards and the best defensive effort they have given all year to beat us coupled with an offensive stinker from us. Stranger things have happened but I put much more stock in this than them winning this because of desperation. I don't think they can win a game where they have to value possessions.
