Once again we are the biggest underdogs of the round.

Well, hope Texas got all that shooting out of their system tonight. I still think we have more than a punchers chance against the Longhorns. If Omier shows up like he has all tourney long, I think we can steer out a victory Sunday.

What’s crazy is we’re 3rd in fewest losses behind FAU and Gonzaga, who are both in subpar conferences.

All of this is cause they think the ACC had a down year. Imo it’s just cause Duke and UNC have started off slow cause they have worse coaches. But by ACC play they become legit. That’s why last year the ACC was “down” but then had 3 in the elite 8.

Love to see it, keep up the hatred. Always prefer to be the underdog

going through texas and then Uconn/Zaga is no doubt tricky. if we can get to the National championship game I think we'd be the favorite, but that's a tall task

I posted earlier about the Cane teams evolution to ELITE before the HU game.
I’m not a BB guys but I know TEAM and a teams belief and love for there coach snd what I’ve witnessed and how they belong .

I was told to check my testosterone levels here on a post and was pushed aside as an ole man sitting on his plums to be ignored.

Well we are ELITE we do belong we may just be the BEST BB team in the country right now .

This TEAM plays with PASSION they DUMPED there terrible selfish pride and replaced it with LOVE .

Dumping there selfish pride in the trash got this TEAM here
When you dump selfishness the results are what your watching in Men and ladies Canes BB

Ray Lewis said best before Super Bowl huddling his D :

“ FEEL MY PASSION “

I don’t have over abundance of testosterone I has PASSION.

Imo We definitely have the hardest path to make the NCG. The best 4 teams are in the Midwest and West

yeah people are taking these odds personal, when in reality we're heavy underdogs in both of the next two games, just the reality of the situation

on my non-homer bracket I had texas getting to the title game. if we can win against them i'll feel like this might be a reality for us

I still think our odds should be higher, but something to note is that they give us 50% odds to win if we play the NCG game. Which is pretty good odds for these type of sites for us. The difference between the Midwest/West side to the East/South is stark imo

Edit: just to expand we get 50% to win if we play in NCG

Odds for teams in South/ East
Creighton: 41%
SDSU: 31%
KSTATE: 31%
FAU: 30%

The best teams are coming from Midwest/ West

We are going to really need Anthony Walker to keep those big boy pants on. I was proud of him yesterday.

Perhaps he realizes his game on the most important stage. If he has a follow up strong performance it could take on fairytale proportions.

Our entire tourney has been the hardest path. In a year of unprecedented parity at the top, we’ll have played the highest seed possible in every round up to the final four.

This thread better hit 100 pages before tipoff on Sunday

Eh, I hope not. We don't want the football posters messing up our mojo.

I have the all session pass for the Final four, bought it a few months ago. Would love to see the Canes win it all

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Very good point and puts a lot of things in perspective.

Miller should eat against Texas. Lots of attention will be paid to Wong and Pack. They have to respect Wongs ability to get to the basket from anywhere on the floor and Packs ability to shoot a three from anywhere. That should space things out nicely for Miller.
