I'm afraid that if they shoot below 60% as a team from the FT line in this national championship game, they won't win.

Or in any "NC" game...

Two separate players stating they'll treat it like a national championship game. Must be coming from Rick. He knows what it takes to play UNC. I like it.

Nice to hear something other than, "This is a business trip. We're going to treat it like any other game." No, it's not any other game. It's the freaking Tar Heels, the defending national champs. I don't care if they graduated all 12 players from last year's team. Play it like they're the best ever and you've got to put your best effort on the court to beat them.

By the way, UNC is still dangerous this year, with or without Hansbrough and company.

I like the idea - they're undefeated and now they need to know what that really means. Go beat UNC and show you deserve the rating, treat it like what it may well be, which is a battle to stake claim to a No. 1 seed. If you lose, you get a nice reality check to build on.
