Unexpected Clash: Can the Underdog Heels Tame the Fierce Wolfpack Tonight?
Wolfpack Season So Far:
The season is generally going better than previous seasons, but the pattern is concerning:
-
Highly inconsistent. Won by 44 points, lost by 41 points.
-
Ven Lubin is the only consistent player on the team
-
Four home losses. Miami and Kansas both 76-77, GT by 4, UVA by 15
-
Second two game losing streak so far (Aub, Tex were the first)
-
Gave up late leads in both Miami & GT games
Notre Dame and Stanford are absolute must win games because the other three look formidable.
What’s On the Line?
The Tar Heels are ranked AP # 16 and NET #25, this is a Q1 contest. BUT NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT! This is THE rivalry game. I’m certain AT LEAST 117 people told Coach Wade on his first day on the job, “Whatever else you do, beat Carolina.” NC State has lost two in a row since beating them for the ACC Championship. In the last game, the Wolfpack was down 28 at halftime. (at which time Coach Keatts’ FB status switched to ‘dead man walking’) Time for that RECKONING we’ve heard so much about.
