They put on a clinic tonight. Great rotation and movement w/o the ball. Anytime a player got in trouble a teammate was on the spot to take the outlet. Quite a contrast to Miami's guards who played well in the 1st half but succumbed to hero ball in the 2nd. Miami bigs' foul trouble didn't help.
Tough shots yes, but from the naked eye (I've only seen the three from near half court on replay) the vast majority had the shooter in rhythm, feet square and stepping into the shot. Last night was the 1st time I have been impressed by Arcidiacono. His lateral movement and ballhandling skills are that of an old school baller. I guess seeing him in person at a lower angle vs. the tube made a difference.
What a classic game on our home court.
As good as Nova is, I'm going to go with UNC to win the Final. The reason is I think UNC is too big inside and they'll dominate on the glass just like they do against everybody. Nova's best chance is to make a high percentage of three point shots and try to win in a close game. But no doubt these are the two best teams in the country going at it.
You can't beat that defense by dribbling about like Oklahoma was doin.They react to what you do.Carolina won't do that,but Nova will adjust to Carolina's ability to pass the ball.They expose any weakness you show.
Who knows? We never played, won't soon forget that. We were a better team than Syracuse, and they made the Final Four. We'll never know.
