Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels
The Heels made it to the Sweet Sixteen with a 113-74 thrashing of Mount St. Mary's, followed by a 108-77 shellacking of Arkansas. To say Carolina has looked impressive thus far in the NCAA tournament is an understatement. I'm a little disappointed that Roy Williams left the starters in late in the games, but I guess that's why I'm not a basketball coach.The Heels play Washington State on Thursday night. Much has been made of Washington State's defense (they've held their opponents to 40.5 points a game so far in the tourney), but I (hope!) really don't think they'll present much of a challenge for the Heels. Carolina's first test in the tournament will come on Saturday against the Louisville/Tennessee winner (before the tournament started, I picked Tennessee to advance in this game, but now my money's on Louisville).
Hopefully, they'll survive this weekend and make it to the Final Four.
