Bold predictions

[ISU2]

With Georges out things are obviously going to be different. My bold prediction is that Monte will be the leading scorer and Edozie will have 7 rebounds

 

[baller1]

If that happens, pretty good chance we're winning because you can bet with Niang out Kane is going to find his way to 20 points and Ejim probably will too.

 

[Rabbuk]

I was going to say monte scoring about 20

 

[Cyclonepride]

Monte certainly has looked like he has the ability to score off the dribble at will, but has been deferring to other options. Lately he has been deferring less. Dustin can become new member of the big three. Naz can be huge. Percy and Daniel just need to come in and fill the void on defense and for rebounds.

So I guess my prediction is a little bit from everyone.

We win

He had a crazy efficient 15 in the first game. Missed just one shot from the field and the line.

 

[HFCS]

EDozer needs to just knock some teeth out when he gets in there.

 

[Rabbuk]

He had a crazy efficient 15 in the first game. Missed just one shot from the field and the line.

See I woulda guessed he had about 10 pts in that game. I didn't think he even took enough shots to get 15.

Don't forget matty ice......don't be surprised if he gets hot and hits a few 3's. He had the big game against Ksu and is poised for a breakout out performance, don't see why it can't be now and put of some of our fan base to eat some crow!

 

[CyHawk7]

The way this team has responded this year to adversity it's all but a guarantee that someone outside of Kane, Ejim, and Hogue are going to step up and have a huge game.

 

[clonedude]

In my dream scenario, Matt Thomas goes for 21 pts with 7 three's. I want so bad for him to blow the lid off finally.

For some reason, I feel like Naz Long will be the key. Kane and Ejim will do their thing. Hogue will get his rebounds as usual, and some putbacks. But I just feel like Naz will be the key indicator if we win or not. If he scores more than 15 pts, I think we win. If he scores less than that, I think we will lose.

I think NC will pack it in the interior, possibly with a zone. So the outside shot might be there. If Naz can hit it, that will help a lot.

 

[CyclOwnd]

Kane with 30+, ejim/hogue double doubles, morris 10+ assists and long shoots .600+ on over a handful of 3's.

 

[JellyBean]

I'm hoping Naz and Thomas go off. Stranger things have happened!

Iowa - 2014 Play in Game Runner Up

 

[Cycsk]

Not really a bold prediction, but Ejim and Hogue could dominate the boards. The talking heads keep making reference to North Carolina's size and rebounding advantage. Uh, which players led the Big 12 in rebounding? Edozie is a bonus.

 

[State43]

To me, it all comes down to rebounding. Playing a bit smaller most the game, isu HAS to limit their 2nd chance points. We do that and I like our chances

 

[mac4cy]

Monte Morris with a double double- 18 points 12 assists. We win going away.

My thoughts exactly, UNC won't even know what hit them! Who in the hell is that blonde kid???
