They May Be #1, But Will They Finish #1?


Has anyone else noticed how close UNC's games have been lately? Yeah they've squeaked out wins, so perhaps they deserve to be highly ranked, but I'm not sure about #1. Wednesday night's game against Georgia Tech, who is at the bottom of the ACC barrel and has a losing record, nearly pulled off a win against the still-undefeated Tar Heels had a few more calls gone their way.


Maybe these teams are just getting up for UNC. But in a one-and-done format like the NCAA tournament, I don't see them going all the way. Their offense can struggle if Hansbrough gets shut down inside, they don't have "the long arms of the law" Brandan Wright in there, and I haven't seen much defending on the perimeter when they face good shooters. Remember I said this.
