"I don't think UNC will ever really tire in a track meet. Meanwhile, Dexter Pittman will be useless in that type of game, so I don't think Rick will run unless Big Dex gets into foul trouble early (which he's known to do).

I really think Texas is the better team here because UNC doesn't have the knockdown shooters from outside, and I don't think Thompson/Davis/Zeller can defend Damion James on the perimeter because he's just too fast for them.

If i'm Rick Barnes I slow it down and let Damion work on the perimeter trying to either shoot it or drive. I'd almost make him play like a 2 or a 3 in this game and that would force UNC to go to a zone (doubtful unless they get beat like I would expect them to) where J'Covan Brown & Jordan Hamilton can light you up.

Feel very confident about my 'Horns tomorrow, hoping for plus money but I can't imagine this line is over 3.

...i think Dexter could be a nightmare for MSU, but I don't know how he's going to stay out of foul trouble 2 games in a row.

I have attended most of the games so far and was at the pre-season press conference and basically he said he needed to have his team play 2 different games when Dex is out there compared to when he's not. I can't imagine he wants to keep Dex out because that leaves a good defender in Wangmene out there on an island getting whistles, or some could come on James which we can't have happen. Chapman is garbage and Matt Hill still hasn't turned into anything after being the Mr. Basketball from Nebraska 4 years ago, so we're gonna need Dex tomorrow..."
