and what are we drinking tonight?
The first of the three big ones we've had circled on our calendars for months, though the shine has come off of this one a little bit. It's no longer a top-10 battle of unbeatens as we had expected, even just last week. But this is still IU-UNC at Assembly Hall and that carries a lot of weight in the college hoops world. I expect the Hall to be blow-the-roof-off raucous tonight!
The Tarheels should be playing with some fire tonight after losing 2 straight. That actually could be a detriment to them- they're already so streaky, if they come out pressing, or expend too much energy in the first 10 minutes trying to make up for those 2 losses all at once, that will play into our hands. Some really good matchups here as well. I'm really looking forward to TJD going up against Bacot and XJ/JHS working hard to keep Love/Davis in check. My thought is that TJD (with help from Malik and Race) gets the better of Bacot, the guard tandems play to a draw, and our depth and defense wears them down. As long as Love doesn't catch a heater from 3 and we don't let that Nance guy go off for 20+ points, our D and the crowd will bring home a W in a back-and-forth, high tempo game.
IU 84
UNC 77
Bell's Kalamazoo Stout for me tonight.
What say you Hoosier fans?
