Tonight's the Night

I'm convinced that the Heels will turn their season around tonight versus the blue Devils, for a number of reasons:

1. Intensity, which has been a problem at times with this team, should not be an issue in a rivalry game;
2. The 100th anniversary of Carolina basketball is Friday night, and who wants to go into that celebration on a down, we-just-lost-to-Duke note;
3. Marcus Ginyard seems recovered from his injuries, and should shut down Duke's Jon Scheyer;
4. Seniors like Ginyard and Deon Thompson have spent the last four years beating Duke like a drum, and they don't want that to stop;
5. Duke has been pretty weak on the road this year;
6. Carolina is retiring Tyler Hansbrough's number tonight at halftime.

All that will add up to an inspiring and season-saving win for the Heels on that puts us on the road to at least seven wins in the ACC (how pathetic that we are hoping for seven wins in conference?).  GO HEELS!
