North Carolina

Good luck against UNC!!!!  Knock out a #1 seed and you guys will be likely to get to the final four.  Remember, you guys were up in the top 5 early this season.  Represent the PAC 10 Right.

Good Luck

If you manage to beat UNC, and you won't, you would then play Louisville or Tenn, followed by Kansas, followed by Memphis or UCLA. I think your road to a national championship is a bit rockier than you think. But then I see you are only looking to get to the final four. Not good enough.

Someone here said Carolina doesn't have a half court game. If anything, our 7 games without Ty Lawson forced us to develop a half court game to go with our running game. You'll see plenty of both on Thursday. And the scouting report that we don't play defense was never really true, and certainly not now. Roy Williams would "criticize" the defense early in the year to wake the guys up to the importance of playing defense. Believe me we are are awake, and playing great defense now. Have been for over a month.

I've got nothing against Washington State, but don't get your hopes up. Best of all Carolina, this year especially, has heart, and a will to fight, as hard as it takes, to win.

Good luck. I hope it's a good game. But UNC will still have 3 more to play after Washington State.

Cheers!

A Carolina fan.

That was posted by a UCLA fan, so settle down.  If you didn't notice, none of the WSU fans that have replied to this post are guaranteeing a win against NC.  WSU fans ARE feeling a lot better about their chances though.  Last Thursday I thought the odds of them even getting a chance to play Carolina were slim, but WSU is playing the best ball they have all season, and that's even with them having subpar shooting nights in both of their blowouts in the 1st two rounds.  So......although I still think that NC has to be the favorite to win this game, don't for a second consider this one a foregone conclusion.  Also, I wouldn't categorize NC as playing great defense at any point this season.  They're certainly capable of doing it, but it's usually when they want to or need to at the end of the game.  Their win over Duke is an excellent example of that.  In the end, this game is going to come down to tempo and fouls.  If it's quick paced, WSU is done.  If it's slow paced AND Baynes and Cowgill stay out of foul trouble, then NC will have their hands full.
