Have you watched them play? I’ve watched a number of ACC teams play on multiple occasions, and UNC has always seemed to fall into its own group between Duke/UVA (top 5) and UL/VT (top 20). I’ve always wondered if their win over Gonzaga the game after we beat them means as much as us giving them their first loss. I also watched them get handled by Michigan and destroyed by Louisville. I’m no expert by any means, but I’ve just never been very impressed by them.
By between, I meant more towards the middle. That would be the 12-13 slot. That said, in looking at the rankings, I’m not really sure which teams I’d put ahead of them to get them out of the top 10.
I’m obviously biased, but if you asked me to guess UNC’s ranking just from watching them play, I also would put them in the 12-16 range. I’m sure their schedule gives them a very comparatively strong resume, though. I still fully expect Virginia to make a Final Four soon. I think Bennett typically has a great team and has mostly just lost a few slugfests with Izzo in the tournament. Their style lets inferior teams stay close, especially if they can make 3s, but they’ve also shut down a lot of great offenses.
Wish Alexander could hit that top of key 3 like Va big man. Would make our offense much easier to run.
Va is good due to Ty Jerome drawing the d or running pick and roll with good spot up shooters. Havent seen an inside game at all
LSU says Reid is out due to “injuries” from the Florida game. So we’re supposed to believe he’s too hurt to play tonight even though he didn’t leave the Florida game. Ok.
