I would love for Duke and North Carolina to play for a fourth time – hopefully once again with everyone healthy.\u00a0 Ideally, that would happen not at 9:45 pm EST when I am falling in and out of sleep and preferably, not 15 minutes after watching Purdue lose.<\/p>\n
But these teams are so crazy athletic compared to some of the other teams.\u00a0 Watching how quickly North Carolina gets out in transition – they can score in seconds off a missed shot or steal – there was one play where North Carolina got the rebound, dribbled twice to get out of the crowd getting the rebound – and the ball never touched the floor again until it had gone through the basket seconds later.<\/p>\n
Zion Williamson is a beast – I don’t think there is a way to stop him.\u00a0 But Duke has a lot more than just Williamson.\u00a0 They might not have the bench depth that some teams have – but when you have a starting five of Williamson, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Tre Jones and Javin DeLaurier, you don’t need to play your bench for a large amount of time.<\/p>\n
I have been watching a lot of basketball this week, and while sometimes a little sloppy, the two games I watched with Duke and UNC looked just a little bit more athletic and a ton faster than the other games I have seen.\u00a0 So, as a college basketball fan, I would love to watch these two teams play again – just maybe when I am less likely to fall asleep and be sad about my Boilers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
