Here is the deal.

It does matter but not as much as people want to believe it matters.  How we play and how they play will dictate how the game will go.  You can mentally prepare yourself for a game all you want but if the first 5 minutes goes the way of same old same old for UNC then they are in trouble no matter how mentally prepared they are for the game.  Losing a game or two doesnt may make a team mentally prepare more but in the end what kind of team are you trotting out onto the floor?

I remember in GMAC's senior year a similar thing happened.  We needed a big win or two down the stretch and we kept losing games.  "This is the one" people kept saying and we would lose.  Gtown, the debacle at DePaul.  The "must" win in GMAC's senior game...all were mentally prepared probably but in the end talent reared its ugly head and we just didnt perform.

If Carolina wins Saturday its because they executed their game plan and we didnt. Not because they were more mentally prepared than we were.
