Am I crazy to think that a big advantage for us is our depth and the minutes we can ask any of our guys to play if run into some foul trouble? UNC goes 6-7 deep. If we get Brooks or Maye or Johnson in foul trouble, where do they go? Are they really going to ride with a starting 5 and rotate Little and Robinson in and that's it? Clearly, they're conditioned well enough to be able to play with 6-7, but it seems we have an opportunity to attack and put pressure on them to defend, which brings foul trouble into play. That seems like the ultimate weakness for UNC.
 
I think what gives me the most confidence right now is we aren’t currently relying on just one or two guys to carry us. JVon has stepped up huge recently, Chuma is playing like the guy we’ve always thought he could be, Danjel is giving us a few solid minutes and is shooting well (7/17 41% from 3 during the win streak), Austin looks as healthy and productive as ever, Mac is coming off his best game since Nov/Dec, Ho Daddy is never not going to give it everything, and Samir and Dunbar have been steady. When all those guys play at or near their abilities, it makes life easier on Jared and Bryce. And when they don’t have to carry the load, they play confident, tough, and free.

Don’t know that we will win, but I think we will play well because everyone is playing with confidence and believing in each other. That’s a powerful thing.

Ugh...I gon back and forth from "we can win this and I'm confident" to "it's going to be so tough to win".
Bruce I believe, help my unbelief

Some dude on the AU family board is saying he's heard around town that Cam Johnson is sick as well. Couldd be nothing but it'd be fantastic if two of their best players were less than 100%.

Both he and Nas were at the shootaround today, but I've seen that on several different boards. Apparently, it came from a well connected UNC poster on 247 I believe.

if that's true, then the boogs will have no excuse if they fall.

didn’t think of it that way until you just said it and it’s so obvious it’s been hiding in plain sight...

this is going to be the biggest win in Boog history

until Sunday
If UNC wins tonight they will go to their 29th Elite Eight. Meanwhile if our HYG win tonight they will go to the 2nd Elite Eight in program history. Time to make some history, HYG.

I started a longer breakdown earlier today but it got too long - and wasn’t entirely conclusive

but essentially, in every game they’ve played the last 5 weeks that they won by less than 10, White played 35+ minutes and Williams played 36+, with most in the 38-39 range

look at the last 2 Duke games, Louisville in the ACCT, 2 pt win at Clemson, 8 pt win vs Syracuse, loss vs UVA

basically, unless they’re up comfortably in the second half, those guys play all game... we have to pressure them for 40 minutes, JVon has to make them work the whole time he’s on the court, and when they do go to Seventh Woods we have to crush him like Waters did JVon in Baton Rouge and like Jared did to Waters last year

I’ll shut up about it - but Sweet Sweet Sweet Baby Jared is gonna win this one for us tonight
 
I'll go ahead and go on record that I will NOT be happy if we play this other Blue Blood and lose in a very contested battle. Ain't gone be mad at my Boogs if we don't make this next step, but I fully expect to move to eternal fame & greatness & knock this chip off the block. #UnfinishedBusiness and War Damn Boogs and I love all my GREGERS and Praise be to BRUCE!!

I can't breathe
