Here are a couple of what I feel are definitive statement about Saturday's game (taking psychological babble out of play).  
1)[B]  Cuse is not going to be intimidated because it is UNC coming to town.[/B]  Many of us grew up as admirers of Dean Smith and his great program he had.  I'll admit that I was a big Sam Perkins fan and we know how great he would have looked in Orange, and of course his teammate Mike Jordan.  But even before that, guys like Bob McAdoo and Walter Davis and Phil Ford and Bobby Jones.  This isn't about guys who were stars 40 years ago.  This is about 2014.  When Carolina Blue steps onto the court, it's just another conference opponent for our kids and another big game for JAB and his staff to get the players ready for.

2)  [B]Carolina has to prove a point.[/B]  I'm sure Roy and his staff and working the kids hard today getting their mindset and focus on how they are going to beat Syracuse.  It's about our 2-3 zone and our highly successful offensive efficiency.  It's not about Miami and not about Wake Forest and not about their other three losses.  They are only going to care about one team.  Today is a huge day for them.  They need to travel tomorrow and probably somewhat early if they are going to have a shoot around on Friday since the game is so early on Saturday.

So many things are in Cuse's favor right now.  However we all know what happened last year when Georgetown came to town.  We were playing pretty well and even though we had a huge home court advantage (35,012) we laid a big egg.  I have a big feeling that won't be the result on Saturday.
