I think they are suppose to play NCSU tonight, we'll see how well they perform and get a good idea of what the competition is going to be going forward, as in the NCAA Tournament.

We moved up to #2 this week. The Lou/NCSU is at 7 on ESPN 2.
They have played #20 DePaul and a Syracuse team that was ranked at the time. DePaul Also had a very weak noncon and I feel should not be in the top 25. So yeah it has been a lame schedule BUT they do have talent,I think they are suppose to play NCSU tonight, we'll see how well they perform and get a good idea of what the competition is going to be going forward, as in the NCAA Tournament.

The big question is will Cunane be able to play tonight for NCSU
So next Monday assuming nothing crazy happens we should be the #1 team followed by NC State, but of course UConn is going to get preferential treatment as #2 team instead.
UCONN poses some matchup difficulties for us. They have one big and essentially 4 guards who are all 6’0”. My prediction isYeah, if we hold off Auburn we should be # 1 and, I also think we have enough in he tank to hold off uconn
Beal defend Westbrook, Henny or Zia on Becukers. Odada can't handle Boston she proved that last year. I still wonder how she was drafted so high out of high school
UCONN poses some matchup difficulties for us. They have one big and essentially 4 guards who are all 6’0”. My prediction is
Boston- Ododa-Nelson
Saxton- Griffith or Maukarat if she is healthy
Beal- Williams
Henderson- Bueckers
Cooke- Westbrook
Henderson and Cooke will be at a height disadvantage but their speed and strength will hopefully offset. I also would not be surprised to see some zone thrown in as a change of pace.
Where UCONN has got to be worried is on the boards. Boston is superior to Ododa-Nelson, and they got NOBODY that can keep up with Saxton.
We win with Boards and D

Undefeated in the SEC.why? NC State has one loss and wins over S Carolina and Lou. What is S Carolina’s best win?
5 top 25 wins and 3 more wins over teams just outside the Top 25.why? NC State has one loss and wins over S Carolina and Lou. What is S Carolina’s best win?
Beat South Dakota and Gonzaga the first games of the year.5 top 25 wins and 3 more wins over teams just outside the Top 25.
Undefeated in the SEC.
That was their worse game of the year. In a rematch, they will score more than 46 points and win.so head to head doesn’t matter? State has beaten two #1 teams on their court. Their only loss is in OT without Cunane.
I do agree here...I think NCSU will be the opponent Carolina has to go thru to win the National Championship....NCSU would beat UCONN, Stanford....It will come down to NCSU and Carolina. imoso head to head doesn’t matter? State has beaten two #1 teams on their court. Their only loss is in OT without Cunane.
I do think NC state has a good case for #1 considering their loss was without their best player and they have beaten two #1 teams. But they also lost to an unranked team, although VT is better than their record indicates, it still not a good loss for a top 5 team.why? NC State has one loss and wins over S Carolina and Lou.

Now look at our schedule, we have dominated so far in the best conference in the country and and did well with a strong out of conference schedule. NC State has the bigger marquee wins but we have the better overall resume. You ask who has the best win, I ask you who has the worst loss and how recent was the loss?
That will not be a problem....I think the Heels are only ahead of BC at the bottom of the standings in the ACC...fair point, I just would give it to State given the head to head result. Pack has to beat the Heels on Sunday for it to even be an argument.
