RE: ESPN's Jason King has Harsh Words for UNC

D: North Carolina -- I watched North Carolina's loss to Virginia on Sunday -- and I also saw the Tar Heels get blown out against Texas last month -- and I'm shocked at how mediocre this team is. I realize UNC lost its top four players from last year's squad, but there are still good pieces on that roster. Reggie Bullock, James Michael McAdoo, P.J. Hairston, Dexter Strickland & Co. are too good to be getting punked by a Texas squad that probably won't make the NCAA tournament for the first time in 14 years and a Virginia team that is incredibly well-coached but not nearly as gifted. North Carolina lacks leadership, chemistry, fire and, most of all, toughness.

If this team wants to win the NIT, they are going to have to find some toughness.

They are "as soft as Charmin". I kinda expected to see Mr Whipple come out at halftime of their game at UVa. and give them a big ol' squeeze.

it's ok with me if it would help. no chemistry is the biggest problem. You can't run like Roy likes to run without it. n the half court the lack of toughness rears it's ugly head.

Our bigs sure do out-perform state college's on the boards though!.

Rebounds total:
Flagship U.: 617
state college: 502

Rebound Margin:
Flagship U.: +6
state college: +1.6

SLAP!

State is the top FG% shooting team in the country, I think, so carolina has many more bricks to haul down.

Yet they've hit 18 fewer FGs than their daddies to the West. Oh well.

We were talking about "bigs" anyway. If you want to talk about FG%, you should start 17 new threads about that.
