Big Game 2Nite
Yes, the world stops for me when the UNC/Duke game is on...
I'm even missing my bi-weekly run tonight in the West Village for it. My jumper has been hot lately. So you know, it's the UNC/Duke game if I'm missing my run...And no, I can't go with just the DVR on this one either.
Here are my keys to the game, and I do think the Heels can play physical.
1.) Let Redick go...Just don't send him to the line.
He's going to get his 30, but I would rather see him get his 30 from the field rather than going 13/15 from the line. That means he not only is getting breaks for air, but he's also putting the Heels in major foul trouble.
Courtesy of my boys at Tar Heel Daily.com and Bob Sutton of the New Bern Journal, I did find this interesting...
Yes, David Noel won't be guarding J.J. Redick. It shows how poor Carolina's depth is upfront. It's a shame because David Noel has done such a great job on Redick in the past.
Then again, maybe this is a ploy and Noel will end up on him anyway. Yet, if that happened, who would end up on Shelden Williams or Josh McRoberts?
That article is correct. Bob Frasor is fine guarding Redick. Frasor did a helluva job on Hassan Adams and he did very well on D.J. Strawberry...So, why not put him on J.J. J.J. beats you on the lean-ins and spot-ups not so much on the dribble. Let the two of them go at it.
On a side note, despite his broken finger, I do hope that Bob Frasor keeps shooting more. His scoring really boosts the pressure off of the inside.
2.) Both David Noel and Reyshawn Terry have to be in double figures.
Look at all of our big wins...(Despite the 'Zona win, NC State, Maryland, Kentucky)...both guys had huge games. We need David to pump in at least 12-15 and Reyshawn to stay focused. When Reyshawn does stay focused, we have a shot against anyone.
3.) Hold Shelden Williams down.
The big match-up is holding the big fella down, and I hope that they let Hansbrough and Shelden bang down low. J.J. is going to get his, but the Heels can not...absolutely can not...let Shelden Williams kill them. If Williams is held under double figures in both scoring and rebounding, the Heels have a major shot.
Yet, if Shelden goes beast...Turn out the lights, and get ready for your morning work-out.
Given: We are going to have 15+ Turnovers. With Roy's running style of play, that's going to be a given night in and night out. According to his 'blended" philosophy, we pick up a lot more buckets in transition than we give up. I'll go with that.
Danny Sheridan's line is Duke -4...I don't even want to say which way I would go...
