Live from the RBC
Just a few minutes before the tipoff between UNCG and N.C. State. Just took an informal poll in the press room and no one thinks the G has much of a shot. The G's not so stellar track record against power conference foes has most people thinking this will be a blowout.
I personally think the Spartans will keep it a little closer, but that's actually not the ACC-SoCon story I wanted to blog about.
I predicted about a month ago that Davidson would knock off UNC, and I'm sticking with it, even though the Tar Heels have already laid an egg against Southern Cal. The Wildcats will be throwing an experienced squad against the inexperienced Tar Heels and Davidson's won in the Dean Dome recently. Again, I'd prefer that UNC be coming into this game without having already had their down game, but I still think the Cats can pull this off. I wanted to get this prediction in before the game starts in five minutes.
If UNC blows out Davidson? Well then I just go into the blog and erase the entry. Never happened. That's the beauty of the internet.

Jim, what were you thinking? Experience means nothing. Or so it would seem after the way the Heels disposed of Davidson despite playing without their heads, according to Roy Williams. Athleticism and an endless supply of energy were more than enough. I was surprised at how poorly Davidson handled the Heels' three-quarters-court pressure and traps on the ball given that the Wildcats have not been prone to turning the ball over all season.
Still your SoCon favorite?
