NORTH CAROLINA at BC game/pregame thread

[BCEagles25]

I'll give this a go.

BC -- 72
UNC -- 77

Prediction game:

How many rebounds will be grabbed over Southern's head?
How many loose balls will Sanders not go after?
How many more turnovers will Biko have than points?
How many timeouts will Al Skinner not use?
How many threes will Roche and Trapani take between the two?
How many minutes will the hottest player sit on the bench down the stretch?

My answers:

#1: Two. Southern will have fouled out, so the number will be minimal.
#2: All of them. About 6-8.
#3: One. Four points, 5 TO's.
#4: Three in the first, three in the second.
#5: Nine. Trapani will take six, and Roche will take three.
#6: Eight minutes

The kid is hot.

UNC --- 64
BC-------77

This game is the hook.

BC blows out UNC by 13+.

People think we are coming back.

We're not.

UNC --- 64
BC-------77

Both these teams are awful.

UNC 81
BC 69

Southern embarasses the entire basketball program with his performance tomorrow.

Carolina- 68
BC- 74

BC students rush the court because we beat North Carolina, most not realizing that we've beaten UNC several times in ACC play since joining the conference and its not that big of a deal. Several storm the court as well, mistakenly thinking that that is the best way out of the game and fastest way to get to their cars.

71-67 UNC.

I have seen unc play many times this year, partly because I'm from NC and am forced to watch it since it is shown on almost every known TV channel, and partly because I despise unc more than anything else in the world and love to watch and pull against them (especially this year).

I have also seen BC play many times this year. Before numerous other ACC games, I have felt unc was totally over-matched and in for a blow out, but obviously for this game I feel that unc is totally in this game and probably favored for once in a pretty long time.

Its all up to what BC team shows up, the one that somehow beat Clemson because BC has always seemed to step up to play unc these past few years, or the team that has lost to St. Joe's, URI, Harvard, Maine, etc... BC has had just about a week to prepare for this game and to figure out a way to score more than 47 points. Let's hope somebody found something.

BC-----76
unc----73

It's great that this is on National TV. I'm not sure the nation is quite ready for our basketball program.

Packed house

[eepstein0]

Plenty of good seats available at the Conte Coffin.

Finally moved Jackson into the starting lineup in place of Biko.

[BCTG]

Gus Johnson in the house to witness our level of suck

[eepstein0]

Good pass Southern you fucking stiff.

[BCEagles25]

Get Southern the fuck off the court.

[eepstein0]

Way to go Southern. Good post defense right there and sweet rebounder, plus a Technical Foul.

I'd rather let the walk-ons play then ever let Southern play another basketball game in a BC uniform.

[bcsoxfan12]

NC: 70

BC: 56

Wow way to go so far Southern !!!!! I posted yester day asking what the over/under would be if he fouls out……I thought he’d wait for the second half to do it, but he’s well on his way now

[eepstein0]

Get Southern the fuck off the court.

I'm going to flip flop with one of my comments.

Southern is not the best we have. He's a fucking joke. Start Dunn, bring Ravanel off the bench and don't let Southern play anymore. What an embarassment.

[BCEagles25]

The rest of the team seems focused. Southern sucks.

Dexter Strickland was the #1 ranked SG last year out of HS. It's amazing how players like that can just come off the bench.

[eepstein0]

The offense looks a whole lot better today, especially Rakim Sanders.

The defense still looks like typical Al Skinner defense.

[BCEagles25]

Where is this Sanders every game?

They are UNC. It's not particularly hard to recruit there.

[claver2010]

Opposed to E A G L E S eagles eagles eagles people are doing F I R E A L fire al!

[eepstein0]

Courtney Dunn can jump almost out of the gym. Why the fuck doesn't he jump to rebound?

Please take a valium. Thanks. Toodles.

[eepstein0]

For all you saying that the reason this team sucks is that they are a bad shooting team, we've already banged down 5 three-pointers and are still on the way to another loss.

Defense and rebounding wins games, we don't coach good defense for whatever reason and we recruit a bunch of short white kids, thus rebounding is also a problem.

Really go ahead, explain to me one good thing Southern has done since ACC play started.

I'm not saying I think Southern is good, I just have a different posting style than you. I'm not into calling players who have chosen to play at BC, "an embarrassment" or a "fucking joke" unless they do something egregious off the court.

[eepstein0]

Whoever was arguing to play Ravanel more, you definately have a point. Guy looks good today.

[BCEagles25]

These guys are looking good today.

Ravenal looks awesome.

I don't like Southern's effort. The guy moves in slow motion out there. Team seems to have improved since we saw them last, which I suppose is a good thing. Although coming off a 47 point performance against FSU, there was nowhere to go but up.
