Kansas has a swarming defense and a big attacking offense. Even when NC has an open shot, they are so out of rhythm all they cn shoot are bricks. The second half will be probably be different, but by that time it'll be too late.

wtf, drive to the basket and get guarded by Hansborough is now an automatic charge in the NCAA.

UNC can only comeback if Kansas keep racking up the fouls like they've been doing for the past few minutes.

It's always that way

UNC ought to play the same way: drive to the basket and take the foul and make a 3 pointer out of the run.

Wonder how Ty Law is gonna cope if they make it.

Memphis will rape teh jayhawks though

brain fart...:eek: Not a knock on lawson, but Rose has too much size/strength/quickness for a smallerpoint guard. His aggressiveness alone reminds me of Carmelo Anthony and Stephon Marbury.

Today could be the best day of the tournament. First Love and UCLA go down in flames, and now UNC and Handsburrows are doing the same.

Probably play some zone, since no one can really match up against Rose.

I hope UNC comes out and makes a run in the 2nd half, I don't want another boring runaway game.

Kansas matches up better against memphis because they have big guys inside who will make it harder for a penetrating Rose, which is why it's a been a b!tch for anyone on NC to attack effectively so far.

ill be surprised if they can make up the rest of the difference.

maybe the coach will kick some of em in the nuts and let them play again once they can stand without support.

I'll take a 'another boring runaway game' if it means Carolina getting shit on. I'll take it each and every time.

But there is another half left and the refs are doing everything they can to get Carolina back in the game.
