Nah, that wasn’t meant for basketball peeps who understand the nuances. That was meant for people trying to say UNC isn’t as good as Bama this year, which literally makes zero sense by virtually all metrics. Our best win is probably AU at home, and UNC has arguably 5 wins better than that including Tenn at home and Clemson/Duke on the road.

Upsets happen, which I hope Thursday is one of those, but we’re not the better team. We just have to be the better team for 40 minutes on Thursday.

Boz said it well, house money for fans at this point. Hope we win, but UNC is being underrated by this board and Vegas IMO (note: the ACC got 80% of their 5 NCAAT teams into the sweet 16).


absolute nonsense. metrics are as flawed as usual but what they do get right is bama shoots better, unc's bench is meh, and the acc as a whole wasnt jack shite compared to the sec. no way does unc not end up with 10+ losses if in the sec.
latrell shuts down davis. rylan shuts down ingram. only estrada can guard estrada. jarin becomes a man and sears gets to take a nap against cadeu while raining in 30 as pringle/nelson display a dunkfest for the ages against bacots slow arse.
to sum it up, bama bathes in blueblood blood and wins by 20+ EASY like i wont even have to be drunk to watch it EASY

Interesting stat regarding North Carolina's defense:

While it ranks No. 6 in defensive efficiency, it only ranks No. 310 nationally in forced TO rate.

Alabama has struggled mightily against teams that force a high rate of TO's. This may take a little pressure off the offense.

By the metrics UNC is overseeded imo. The other one seeds are ranked 1,2, and 3 based on their metrics. UNC is ranked 9th based on theirs and we’re 14th. UNC is good for sure and I think they’re rightfully favored but we got the best matchup imo as far as the 1 seeds go. I think it will be a close game and we definitely have a shot.
