any time a team can make you play as badly as UNC did (like KU did vs Nova) it makes you wonder if another team could do it too. I wasnt saying UNC got their pockets picked all nite by the # of steals, but they dont count gross mishandles like bouncing the ball off your foot into the defender as a steal, if they were careless dribbles, its because one of the big questions with UNC this year is how much they turn it over, and the amount of posessions dont matter because TOs feed to more posessions. TOs rarely happen in the last 5 secs of the shot clock......

So the question is, has Duke maybe shown that they arent as overrated as we once though by stretching Wake to the end at Wake where UNC lost pretty convincingly and then beating UNC at home and mostly stopping the secondary break Offense......70 pts, isnt that like 21 under their avg?

Or did this just show us that UNC has to have things go one way, or its trouble.

we'll see, UNC needs a good road win.
