UNC should prepare to accept 60 points, take it and run. UNC will win, but they'll remember the pain. UNC could have won both of their games so far even without Hansbrough, but Hansbrough's value will never be more evident than this one. It's going to be a beautifully ugly game.
Hats off to WSU and Tony Bennett (answer the phone when IU calls...please!)

and......? They've never play washington st this season either. UNC doesn't score more than 70 points guaranteed. In fact, they might even be able to pull off the upset...I don't see Hansbrough having a big game with Aaron Baynes on him

Bennett will likely stay at WAZZU until the Wisconsin job opens up. Which could be in about 4 to 6 years after ................ retires. (sorry can't think of his name right now) At least that's the opinion of some who have been watching this program closely.

I've had a front row seat for all the WSU home games this year and I will be surprised if Baynes doesn't foul out or at least get into foul trouble. Hansbrough has been very good at drawing fouls this year and Baynes has been very good at fouling. I really really hope that I'm wrong on this but I'm thinking that it will be up to Cowgill and Harmling to limit Hansbrough's production.

Brockman, Anderson, Lopez*2, Love...
Baynes has had good practice fouling/guarding productive bigs all season. It'll pay dividends tommorrow.

This is an awful "homer" of a post!
I admit I haven't seen Wash U play all season (I live in the East and the games aren't televised), but to think that Wash U can keep UNC to 60 pts is absurd. Sure, they'll slow it down, etc., etc., but you gotta watch how UNC plays! The question is: can WSU keep up? I say it's a blowout!
Give the Cougars their due for making the Sweet 16, but...

Different teams and different players but in 2005 the Badgers were holding teams to 60 points a game and NC put up 88. I'm pulling for the upset (Tony pulled it off as a player against Cal and I'm sure he'll remind his players of that) but I think NC will be able to put up at least 75.

And I don't think it will be only 6 years until Bo retires, he's got plenty of years left and no one is going to force him out. But even if Bennett does leave Wazzu before then he'll still leave whatever job he has for the Wiscnosin one. He's hinted several times that Wisconsin is his dream job, and I believe that he has Wisconsin in his contract as the only school that he can leave for no questions or money involved.

Thank you for admitting you don't know what your talking about, flaming the post author, then proving you don't know what your talking about.
Please, it's Washington State University, or WSU, or WAZZU, not Wash U. Wash U. is in St. Louis not the NCAA tournament. Why do you feel the need to post like you know something, when you make it so clear that everything your writing is pure conjecture based on little or no information.

I have watched both of these teams play this season and I have been saying all year long that UNC really does not want to play WSU. Then what happens? They somehow meet in the sweet 16. The cougs are the anithesis of everythging Roy Williams and his team stand for. The reason I believe (hope) the heels win this game is the fact that ty Lawson can beat any kind of pressure single handedly and Hansbrough will have another huge game from the line. Oh, and They WILL score over 70 pts.

I love all the haters and naysayers. Keep it up. The more posts you write about hansbrough getting shut down and UNC scoring 60 points the worse you will feel tonight when the heels dominate WAZZU. Give me a break. I remember everyone saying how Arkansas was going to really challenge UNC and give them all they could handle. We know how that game turned out. My bet is that friday I will see posts saying that either Louisville or Tenn. will beat Carolina. They will have plenty of reasons, and stats to back it up. But it won't matter UNC IS A TEAM OF DESTINY.

Tony Bennett will take the IU job if they offer it to him. He would stand to not only double his salary, but also be at a basketball first school in the Big Ten conference. Wisconsin may come calling later, but at that time it will depend on Bennett's situation. Bob Knight was a Buckeye, but he never took over at OSU which goes to show that just because it may be his dream job doesn't mean that he will bolt when they come calling.

Definitely didn't even think about Tony Bennett getting the call at IU. I think that would be a great fit, as he would be able to salvage a very good and respectable program that is in turmoil right now. Unfortunately, as a Purdue fan, that might be pretty devastating to me..

Offensively skilled teams have scored 70 + against WSU a number of times this season. I see no reason to think that Carolina can't score as many as Stanford or Arizona. Can the Cougars score 75 against UNC, as they'll need at least that to win? Probably but someone is going to shoot more and better than usual from the outside to do it.
Actually it's those Arizona losses that worry me--as someone hoping for an upset. I know AZ isn't all that similar to UNC in style and personnel but they're the best comp I can see on the year's schedule. And UNC at full strength is a good bit better than AZ.
