UNC Preview

Going into this game n unc having wambach. Cuse is gonna have to step their game up in other areas to help out. Meaning offense is gonna have to control ball n limit unforced turnovers almost down to zero n limit any forced turnovers as much as possible. While also scoring at a high percent. Wambach will win faceoffs no doubt, not saying he dominates like has but he’s going to win a good amount. So need to be better then normal in other areas help make up difference there. Meaning gonna have to def win the groundball battle. Unc usually good gb team so we def gotta win that n gain every loose ball we possible can giving it to our O n keeping it from their O.

Defense gonna have to step it up also. Def have to stay out of the box but can’t play as soft as did vs duke specially vs unc two big guys (duffy petro). That should be key focus but don’t stop there either. As unc freshmen young middies are really starting to come alive. So lsm n dmids gonna have to be solid n win their matchups more then they lose (clearly harder then to say). Mccool tho wasn’t bad vs duke but under 50% he will have to be least over 50% this game. He will need to save every one he should n take few he prob shouldn’t.

Clearing has been better but has to be perfect this game. Unc has a very good ride n sure will use it. Guys can’t panic or throw bad ill advise passes or even long passes def in traffic areas. Off saves that can get it out n up as fast as can do so. May have to actually beat or run by a guy or two to beat it or before can make a clear pass. But gonna have to be on point.

Think this is a game we can win if we play like we can. But as stated gonna have to win some other battles examples gbs -emo-man down- clearing etc. Also need not saying fast start where get on top early (tho be great). But have to start ready n prepared. Can’t take qtr or half to get settled in or moving. Every punch unc makes we have to punch back or with punch n an upper cut. Let’s go boys take it to them.

Dwan struggled with the Petro matchup last year but he was also dealing with an injury later in the season. The way the Johnston matchup went last week is not exactly encouraging, but Johnston has a good deal more strait line speed than Petro. If Dwan bounces back that will go a long way. Just for the love of gosh do not sluff off him and let him shoot from range. He may be the best shooter in the country when he is hot.

Figueras will certainly have his hands full with Duffy, and I am expecting him to get a few decent looks, but he should be able to minimize him a heck of a lot more than some matchups he has had this year. If we can limit the attack that will go a long way. Their middies have a lot of dodging power and will get some looks, if we can limit our problems to their middies we can keep the goal total reasonable. Chuck K being back is huge.
