Incorrect on this.  Charles and Seth Davis pick Gonzaga last night.  Jay Williams last night too.  ESPN's BPI picked the Zags.  Vegas has UNC only favored by 1.5.  It's really a toss em up game.  Jay Bilas makes a good point in my opinion.  If Joel Berry just plays marginally better than he did last night, UNC will probably win.  

I don't think Berry will go 2-14 from the field, 2-8 from three, only 5-9 from the FT line with only 2 assists again tomorrow night.

If his ankles are effecting his shot that much, then he needs to be smarter about the shots he takes. Nothing forced. If you're wide open, take the shot and keep the D honest, but don't be jacking it up 14 times and 8 times from deep if you know you're not getting the proper lift out of your legs. Focus on facilitating for others.

He took several bad shots last night. I was surprised considering how poorly he was shooting and how uncharacteristic that is for him. He's usually in pretty good control.

I am not a fan of UNC particularly. I don't hate them either. I'm from Syracuse so that love isn't going to die. But I want them to win for you guys. Good luck tomorrow night guys. I'll be watching. 

Thanks brother

Kenny Smith said it best "if his ankles were affecting him, he wouldn't of took 14 shots.  He will be good to go Monday."  I was like niceeeeeee

Ya might be ok with Seth Davis's pick but Charles ain't a Tarheel fan and would not pick Carolina to win if they were playing the school of the blind for the championship. 

I love Charles Barkley but it is what it is.  He needs to stick with the NBA.

Kenny Smith is a bit biased but he is by far a better analyst than Davis and Barkley combined.

This thread's relation to the Carolina Panthers?  It's interesting. I've seen huddlers post non-panthers related stuff and get completely blasted. Yet this thread is okay?  Why?  Bc of all the freaking heels.  Lame. Go Zags.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
