Point of my post? It was pretty clear what the point of my post was, that our guards do not go inside enough and aren't as skilled at it as what we are watching right now. All season people on the Yard were clamoring for Miller to get the ball in the post more but over 30 games played he never really did.

As for the guys being 4 & 5 stars which we don't have, it was kind of implied in my last line. If you want to pick out a post to be a smarta** about find a better one.
I'll just search your name, you got plenty on the ledger to choose from

Nova can definitely beat UNC, having the 1st game is an advantage for them.

Thankfully, the Orange Bubble is about to burst. They still have the Helms trophy.

Someone is a little grumpy and having a bad day. Did the gf/wife make you sleep on the couch last night?

First SM is not anything like the UNC big guys, he doesn't jump like them or have the handle underneath, plus UNC has 3 options underneath.
I feel our guards this year could have and would have passed underneath IF there was someone to pass to.
SM was simply not mobile enough under the basket - he was a great addition but not comparable to the UNC big guys

The chariot is turning back into a pumpkin thankfully. But it got to stay a chariot long after midnight.

Syracuse fans are complaining about being second-class citizens in the ACC and are rooting for Villanova? lol

I disagree, SM was a player in the same mold as Bryce Johnson, just to a lesser degree/caliber. They have the same body type, and are both equally springy and athletic. Outside of SM though it really drops off and that's when we can't compete with a front court like UNC's.

I'm just watching this game and seeing how effortlessly the ball is getting into the danger spots in the paint for UNC, seems like a few years since we have had a competent offense in the paint (Deandre or Oriakhi come to mind).

Olander, Bazz and Giffey - 4 years, 2 championships.

Boeheim - 30+ years, 1 championship.
did you hear what jalen rose said? he said he'd play for ollie, he named multiple reasons and one reason was bc he already has a NC and there are coaches who have been coaching for 20+ and only have 1 NC or none

You can disagree
but you are wrong - Johnson and SM are not that similar - Johnson will be playing in the NBA and SM??????

The day off tomorrow should give the Carolina players sufficient time to line up students to take their non-existent classes next week.
