Easy ridin'


So the tournament is underway and upsets have run rampant, but not for Carolina. They have scored over 100 points in their first two tournament games. They smacked Mount Saint Mary's 113-74 and murdered Arkansas 108-77 both in front of home crowds in Raleigh. The next game that we play is against Washington State. This team is not to be underrated. They beat Winthrop and a very talented Notre Dame by at least 20 points a piece. They have four players that average over ten points a game in Derrick Low, Kyle Weaver, Taylor Rochestie, and Aron Baynes. This is nothing to worry the deeply stacked Tarheels but I am not getting to comfortable with the predicted sweep of the tournament due to recent upsets like Davidson beating Georgetown, Villanova beating Clemson, and Siena beating Vanderbilt. These were all huge upsets that obviously not many people predicted so I'm not getting to used to winning easily. If the brackets go as planned, which is highly unlikely or the games wouldn't be played, we will be playing Tennessee in the Elite Eight. We'll see how things play out.

Looks like things played out pretty well! I'm excited to see how the 'Heels will fair against Kansas. I've got Kansas winning... but whoever wins the game I think will win it all.
