Dook Game

I continue to feel detached about Carolina basketball in the wake of Dean's death.  That said, I imagine that feeling will dissipate once I tune in and catch my first glimpse of a self-satisfied, entitled, smug, Republican Duke student.

I envision the same thing will happen to Marcus Paige, Brice Johnson and Roy Williams, but I especially hope it happens to Kennedy Meeks and J.P. Tokoto.  We need those two back in 'Heels Peaking' rhythm, tonight and every night. Meeks is especially important; despite the presence of Okafor we should be the better team down low.

Look for those two to get on track, Paige to be Paige, and the Heels to beat down the Devils one more time.

GO HEELS!

In Z I trust

I'm feeling good about tonight's tilt versus the devils.

Why?

Mainly Tyler Zeller.  Not only has he been playing great lately, but I think there has GOT to be some karmic pay back for the game in Chapel Hill.

Of course, the Heels need to go over screens tonight to guard the devils' three pointers,  Marshall needs to be Marshall - but how can he not be? - and we need to rebound.

I also feel that Barnes, who simply seems to be less engaged against lesser teams, will be super focused tonight.

So put it down - Heels 86, Duke 73.  Or something like that.  GO HEELS!
