Well Doyel does make a pretty good point-- his point is that when they play their A game pretty much no one is going to touch them. I've watched them a bunch this year and when everything's clicking for them there's a beast.
That's not to say they can't/won't lose. They can be beaten by any team left in this tournament.
And I would say most every other team, especially those left in the tourney, can say the exact sama thing about their A game. The thing is that while NC has won almost all their games, what great teams did they play to show that this year -- they showed they were great against pretty inferior opponents -- it's already been shown in the tourney that KY, Duke, Clemson, Miami, etc were no big deals to anyone else either. Maryland got taken down in the NIT. NC hasn't played any of the other top seeded teams to prove they are head and shoulders above or even equal. When you play extremely inferior competition, of course you look fantastic and unbeatable. These 2 games were against pretty bad teams -- so what did it prove?
I have NO idea if anyone will beat them or not -- but until I see them beat someone who I felt was a really good team then it proves little -- it's just another game they won -- like lots of other teams have won. What Doyle wrote was stupid -- they are NOT super human -- they can be beaten since they already have been this year. And they are NOT a different team unless their bodies were invaded by aliens. They may be playing a lot better, but no one has joined the team that hasn't been there all year to make them better.
These stories are written to get hits on the web sites -- have nothing to do with truth about anything.
