Just from a quick glance at NC Central, not a great 3 point shooting team (about 34%) so I like that, as well as they don't have anyone above 6'8" that gets serious minutes. Don't want to take them lightly though, looks like they have one really good scorer in Ingram. Also, looks like they haven't had any truly bad games. Loses to Cincy by 13, Witchita St by 11, Maryland by 14, and beat NC State by 10 in OT. We're really going to need to show up for this one.
If we get past them and face UNC second round, that would be an interesting matchup. I think Monte could play pretty solid against Paige. They are another team that isn't a great shooting team, especially free-throws. They are long though, that could give us issues, but I think it wouldn't be a bad matchup at all.
And if we can get out of the first weekend, I think a potential matchup with Villanova would be a crazy fun game. They play fast, small and shoot a lot of threes just like us. That would be a fun game if that's the way it plays out.
Really excited to see how it all unfolds!! There are no easy games in the NCAA tourney. GO CYCLONES!
