Iowa State v. North Carolina

[CTBasketball]

Who do you want? Game is close early.

2 wounded teams with real flaws. I hope they go 4 OT's.

 

[aburks41]

they just said that Iowa state plays 4 guards... Our small lineup last night when bazz was on the bench in the 1st half was actually really good.. But it looks like UNC cannot score the ball outside of Paige, but they get rebounds

I hope they all get minor twisted ankles

Just looked at ISU's roster, they are basically the same team as Villanova without their 5. Niang was the tallest on the roster that played any meaningful minutes at 6'7". I think ISU would have trouble with us.

I want whoever wins. Hoping for a specific outcome to give us an easier path is dangerous.

 

[Hume]

I am hoping for a brawl where each team has three or four players suspended for their next game.

 

[Jimdish255]

Our terrible seeding has suddenly morphed into a decent draw.

 

[tzznandrew]

I'm pulling for ISU, but ultimately, either of them will be difficult. Ejim is a tough matchup, as is UNC's frontcourt.

 

[uchusky32]

I'm looking for a double knockout. We get a bye!

Agree. I was very happy when Gonzaga upset some teams in 99 (ended well, but it was tough), and I was super happy when George Mason took out the whole lower bracket (enough said).

 

[Scoe]

i don't care

 

[SirHypeAlot]

ISU players are built...they may be tough matchups for boat and bazz

 

[ASweet3781]

Who was the UNC player who left with an injury?

 

[Bryan Lord]

I hope they all get minor twisted ankles

You should not have these powers! I'm calling the council.

Kane is like Kilpatrick but maybe better. I usually prefer a team that doesn't have the best player on the floor (or at least one close to as good as Napier).

 

[tzznandrew]

Another thing I almost forgot: Hoiberg is a much better game-coach than Roy.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Iowa State looks a lot better right now. UNC looks like the kind of team that would struggle with Providence.

 

[James]

This is ridiculous roy Williams has like 5 mcd aa's in his front court , All underdeveloped. We could use just ONE. Unc also plays a guy who cant shoot at all ; tokyto or whatever . Would like unc , hoibergs coaching scares me

 

[gtcam]

isu is one of those teams that looks like all the players are 25 yrs old and are weightlifters = we don't fare well against those types

 

[FfldCntyFan]

UNC looks like they've looked for most of the season; they don't like to play defense and they don't like it when their opponent does.

 

[jibsey]

I'll take my chances with North Carolina. IS guards can score from out and in. I think we play better D than both teams.

Agree.

 

[huskyharry]

ISU does look better but some key players are collecting fouls and they are not a deep team. Also Kennedy Meeks is controlling things inside, so,it may end up being a dog fight.

 

[Brochacho]

I want a Villanova-North Carolina-Michigan State path. I think all four teams from the 2009 FF would be good for mojo. Don't forget the five year rule is still intact. 99-04-09-14?
