[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 771321, member: 2784"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://goheels.com/news/2020/12/28/mens-basketball-tar-heels-visit-georgia-tech-on-wednesday-night.aspx[/URL] Good read - Some good basic stats about where they are. This is going to be a really interesting matchups of seemingly polar opposite teams GT is a senior laden team while outside of Brooks, UNC is dominated by Freshmen/Sophs Especially at guard, we are old and they are babies outside of Playtech We primarily depend on our backcourt for scoring (plus Moses) while they primarily focus on their bigs for scoring Neither team gets a lot of offense out of the 3 spot - Leaky Black isn't going to scare you on that end but he is a good long defender. We seem to want to play at a controlled tempo while they will want to push the ball We hope to break even on the boards while they absolutely pound the boards. They have a 40% offensive rebounding rate this year. :oops: I saw D'Ron Sharpe in HS. He is an absolute beast. Team put a 6'7" D1 DE recruit on him and he played him like a rag doll. Bacot is no slouch either. Having said all that, they are eminently beatable. NC State just showed that. The formula is make they shoot outside (they were 2-12 from 3), make your own 3 pointers (State was 8-17), keep them out of transition and the paint, and limit your turnovers. This is a hard matchup for our small ball team as we normally don't push the ball to make a team like UNC pay for both going big and going to the offensive glass hard.

If we can't push the ball or somehow make them pay for playing big, we are going to have to get significant contributions from our new bigs. Moses will not last if he is the primary big trying to battle them inside/on the boards in a half court game. If we can shoot and stay remotely close to them on the boards we have a decent shot.
