what is your reasoning behind this? i see people everywhere saying unc will win, but have yet to see any reason why?
Well first off, THis UNC team is very experienced they will understand how to play in this game, they have played in many of tournament games unlike this wake team. They also were humbled already and will not be over-confident in this game. I also give the Coaching advantage to Roy Willams.
To me Unc is the best team in the Nation, this team has been picked to win the Natl Title the past 2 years and that was basically with the same squad. I think they win that title this year, I saw the highlights of that game vs College vs Charleston and they looked very determined. I think that BC loss really woke up a sleeping giant. I think Roy made them work their balls off in practice and I expect them to step up their defensive intensity.
I admit I do not know too much about Wake other than Wake hasn't done much in a couple years. I know they have some talented players but I just feel they are going up against Carolina at the wrong time.
Ty Lawson is arguably the best point guard in the country, Hansborough might be the best forward and Ellington might be the best pure shooter or one of the best in the nation. Throw in Deon Thompson who is maturing , Ed Davis a great freshmen and then Danny Green another solid scorer. This team has 5 players avg double figures. Lawson, Hansborugh, Ellington, Green and Thompson have solid experience playing in these games and I think they will be ready.
That said I expect Wake to be really fired up in this game and they will most likely play a great one, but in the end I just don't expect them to keep up with Unc who will keep making shots and countering Wake.
I just feel this UNC team is truly the best in the nation and they are motivated, talented and confident. They know they are the best in the nation and they expect to win. They also want that #1 overall back because they know they are the best.
6 Points may be too much but I think UNC will win this game.
So in a nutshell I feel that UNC coming of that BC loss is very focused and Roy Williams Im sure made sure of this. Wake is playing them at the wrong time. Also there is no doubt how solid this team is , they can score at will, there is no need for stats we've all seen this team play and now how nasty they are can wake score with them and keep up with UNC? that is truly a question mark. UNC has the Experience, Talent and Confidence to win this game. In the end I think UNC wins for 2 main reasons. 1) Experience and 2) Very Focused after that BC loss.
