It's a real shame that Gonzaga isn't the 5 seed in their bracket. They're due some payback.
UNC is very good. This is the best defensive team they’ve had in a long time, maybe pre-Roy.
But they lost last week, y’all. It was on TV. Of course they can lose again.
They lost to Syracuse.

Not a lot of upsets in their bracket do far so they'll be challenged soon enough.
Heck...going down 13 to Mich St. isn't exactly a good sign for them.
If you are watching the Purdue game you can see a team that can beat unc. You will also see that what unc did yesterday is what 1 seeds are supposed to do vs 8 seeds, just like Purdue.
Next weekend will be where unc will be challenged.
I'll go all in on UNC losing when/if Duke loses. Until then I'm obliged to keep my mojo positive.
They've only played five times and UNC has a 3-2 edge. And the only other tourney matchup besides the obvious was in 2009 when a great Heels team won a Sweet 16 matchup as an -8.5 favorite.
They haven't had much of a series to begin with and it hasn't exactly played out as if UNC has some psychological edge or something - it's not UNC vs. State.
Caleb Love, Arizona and a stadium full of wild U of A fans will beat Kerolina out in LA next week.
UNC looks "okay", but the other 1's are on a different planet.
Does it mean UNC couldn't beat one of them? of course not....but given how the picture stacks up, it seems really premature to ask this question. I think the other 5 remaining teams in their bracket have a chance.

It certainly seems that way to me. Perhaps it was the ESPN President (Skipper) connection, or the Michael Jordan connection, or Dean Smith being revered beyond what he should have been. I’m not really sure why, but I think UNC gets far more preferential treatment year in and year out than any other team in college basketball. And it’s not even close.
Bama isnt looking great to me.
Anyone think bama can beat em ?
Bama is very mediocre. They won’t last long. Either Bama or GC will be crushed by Carolina.
Lord what I would give to see Carolina lose next weekend and for us to make the Elite 8
