We Shall Return

How am I doing with last night's loss? Not good....

I really do believe that this year's UNC Basketball team is more talented and is a BETTER team than Duke's. However, it is still clearly evident that this team can not win big on the road, and it still does not have an effective half-court offense to get them a bucket when needed.

Until this year's team can prove to do those two things, I am not putting my high hopes on this year's squad. Believe me, this team really needs to raise it's 'basketball I.Q.' to get to a new level, and I don't know if that's possible with this year's team...seriously.

However, I am very impressed with how Sean May and Marvin Williams are playing together. As a front court, they're developing the telepathy or "chemistry" that makes a championship front line...a la Maurice Lucas and Bill Walton, or a la Sam Perkins and James Worthy....Keep watching how they're playing together down low. It really is nice to watch...Now the backcourt...That's another story...yeech...

Now, you may not want to stick that label on me as someone who has jumped off the bandwagon...Cameron is a tough place to play on the road, and our Carolina's big three of Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants, and Jawad Williams could not have played worse. Yet, those three are really going to have to step it up not only the next time, but also during the road games against UConn, Maryland, and on the neutral court of the ACC tourney.

One game that you won't want to miss is the 'revenge game' on March 6th...I'm betting that they'll be back.

Carolina has a tough one on Sunday afternoon with UConn, and I'll give you a full run-down with the WXYC Sports Crew on Sunday night from 9-10PM. Stream us up!
