UNC the first team to drop 100 on the Zags (in a non-OT game) since 2007.

Sort of shocked that Gonzaga was never even remotely in this game after their resume so far. Best thing going for UNC is that a lot of the teams ahead are closer to being maxed out at what they can be come March. We need Nassir Little to take Kenny’s spot and start getting more experience and confidence. Kenny is good at defense but kind of useless for a scoring SG. Biggest key is to have one of the bigs get ready to assert come March. Luke is too short armed to be a defensive paint rim protector. I fully expected A&M to beat us in last year’s ncaa game bc our bigs would have no answer. Brooks is a lot stronger but still like the 5th option out there. Other than that Coby is awesome, and Cam is the man!

UNC is much better at home; not shocked they won at home vs the Zags but it would have been a different story in Spokane or a neutral court.

Yeah Little has been disappointing as of late. But I agree he needs to play more and should against some of the cupcakes we have scheduled. I think going forward, featuring Little could help us recruiting similar level players. The last few top level recruits we've had in Black Falcon and McAdoo have underwhelmed, Little seems to be in the same bucket after dominating the all-star games.

Kenny's D is pretty bad. He can't keep anyone in front of him. Seems like he had half of the brain-dead TOs we had y'day too.

March Madness expectations are going to be much like last year (b/c of our weak frontline). Getting to the second weekend will be a good result (getting to the F4 is highly unlikely).

We're not paying 5-star players and setting up their parents with cush houses like 'Zona, KU, and dook are (and I don't want Roy to go there). It is what it is. Roy still finds a way to hang banners though.

Forgot to mention that the last team to drop 100 on Gonzaga was pre-Bennett UVa. Hard to think back that far to when UVa played an exciting brand of basketball.

Raids just hates the B1G, nothing to see here

I personally wouldn’t have UNC above Michigan but who cares, it’s December

I’m not purposely trying to be an ******* here but come on son. There was no element of student in student athlete not too long ago at UNC.

Meh my post is talking about paying 5-stars.

And as a reminder, last October an NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions hearing panel could not conclude that the University of North Carolina violated NCAA academic rules.

Arizona State starting their annual collapse early I see. God bless that university, imagine paying Hurley a wage to coach basketball.

chuckleslovakian: thoughts on Saturday's "Blue Blood Battle Royal"?

how has your low post play been? how is your low post depth? our low post is a weakness and where teams are looking to exploit UNC.

i wish our series would get back to home-and-homes. sick of these neutral games. loved seeing the Heels venture into Rupp every few years.

Low post is like the one thing I actually have faith when it comes to this UK team. Mostly because of Reid Travis. He doesn't have the speed to be a great defender which is his big NBA problem, but he is a good college low post bruiser. If that is UNC's big issue I hope we feed it to him all game.

UK's giant weakness so far has been 3's. Both in guarding and making. I expect UNC to double Reid down low and dare us from 3's. If we aren't hitting it will be a long game...

I thought this UK team would be elite from the get go...and yeah no...

I'm expecting UNC to win...UK will probably try to run with UNC and I don't think that will work out. Not to the extent of that god forsaken Duke game...

Also yeah, I liked the home and home as well
