UNC seems to have it in most if not all measurable categories....

MSU seems to have all the intangibles on thier side...

So...who ya got fellas?

I tell you what, while that first game was ferociously energetic, I thought it was basically a street brawl. Not much half court game in that one!

How do you figure that? The fact that they're playing at home didn't save them from a 35-point beatdown the first time around (which was also played at Ford Field).

Carolina is going to steamroll Michigan State.

Oh I don't know...the fact that they've beaten two teams in a row that nobody thought they stood a snowballs chance in hell against...

The fact that they are playing at home...

The high level of emotion they're playing with, their high level of intensity on defense, their scrappiness going after loose balls....intangibles...things that are extemely hard if not impossible to quantify....the same things that have led to them pulling off two huge upsets in a row

And as far as the 35 point beatdown....I don't know anyone who expects that same outcome this time...MSU was missing their best big man, their best guard had yet to really start making an impact, they were coming off of 3 road games in the previous 5 days and they went up against a team that was on fire...

I expect UNC to win easily...but the way MSU is playing right now...the things they are doing and doing well at that...those are the kind of things that lead to upsets (i.e. MSU's last two games)

I just need them to win by 7 1/2 but I will take 35 again. :)

State is on a roll and looking great right now....BUT...UNC just has too much talent in too many areas...I got UNC big but stranger things have happened...Aka NCST in 1981...I love this time of year!

I feel like this game has the possibility of ending up like UConn/Duke 99'...

Duke was the team to beat all year and UConn kind of snuck in to the championship...then they proceeded to out hustle and just flat outplay Duke on thier way to the win...

For all tangible purposes UNC should win by 8-20 points...but the way MSU has played recently makes people with money on it real nervous

That's exactly how I feel. Hopefully, Roy doesn't draw up the same play as Coach K to end the game?

If not for the enormous amount of UNC frontrunning, I could probably pull for them (not to mention that I picked them in my brackets), but I absolutely hate the frontrunning crowd.

UNC has beaten every one of their opponents by double digits in this tourney,so I would say the beat goes on for this evening's game.

Who cares on betting on the game, lets throw some money down on how much collateral damage will be done from the inevitable riot in Lansing after the game
