UNC/NC State Game Predictions

Both teams are trending upward.

Talent: Advantage State
Experience: Advantage State
Home Court: Advantage Carolina
Coaching: Advantage Carolina
Intangibles: Roy's new lineup has given the team a spark, and they can win even when shooting poorly due to improved defense; State has a solid seven players who are capable of shooting very well and "Calvin" will leave CJ in Raleigh and play team ball. Advantage: Even

Prediction: Nail biting game till the bitter end. Lots of ties and lead changes. Carolina pulls out the win by 3 points.

good enough for me jgunn! good enough for me!

RE: UNC/NC State Game Predictions

Last night State played 5 guys at 30 min or more - Howell/Leslie/Warren up front and Wood/Brown at Guards. If they can do that against UNC's new small lineup, I see that as a mismatch in State's favor. Howell can guard McAdoo and even though Leslie and Warren are big, they are quick enough to keep up with guards. Which team will impose their will (UNC force State to go small vs State forcing UNC to go big)?

I can't argue with your points, 903. Leslie is tough to guard. He can slip between two defenders right to the basket. Wood is streaky: sometimes all he has to do is look at the ball and it goes in the basket, other times he disappears. Howell is a stud at the low post, and Brown is one of the best PG's in the country. But Carolina is playing much better and with more confidence. State won't get up by 20 like they did in Raleigh. I'm counting on the Heels wanting to win this grudge match, and backing it up with their improved play, and really good D. Carolina can definitely win this game.

If state college shoots 43 free throws to our 7 they will stomp a mud puddle in our hineys.

I hope it is that close and that UNC wins on a questionable call in the final seconds so we can get another independent investigation going!

LOL!

RE: UNC/NC State Game Predictions

Thrill has predicted (and even made an avatar bet) on kerlina winning by 30+ points. Can anybody say don't do drugs? ROFL!

Heels by 7, mass histeria by some Wolfies, conspiracy theories a plenty by Time Felon, Badger, ToolSAC, and the Red Rage cult.
