My confidence against UNC is probably the kiss of death, but I don't see a path to a UNC win if we are as healthy as we were on our last trip to UNC and have Castle back.  Guard RJ Davis tight and their ability to score enough from deep to win is done.  We have size to guard him + quickness with Diarra/Ball to be in his face or harass Cadeau.  Bacot may make a few plays but I think both Clingan and Johnson can neutralize him.  With bigger guards and a bigger center, and a better player at the 4, their defense has to rely on us continuing to miss open shots.  I actually think we will/should kick butt.

I haven't rewatched Kansas yet, but we played 2 bigs at times and that is something that will improve.  On more than 1 occasion Clingan and Samson both took the same man defensively and left someone open.  I didn't notice the offensive end.  Samson in general didn't look as comfortable at the 4 as he should.  Improvement of that lineup will be a major upgrade to combat certain teams with size in the post season.
