Unc as under ranked this year as they were over ranked last year. Barely in top 20.
Elliot will straighten that mess out quickly. Or so he says.
Kansas
Duke
At the top.

I saw #21 in the coaches poll.

Maybe they'll make the tournament this year.

Hubert has them running again. Just this year he has a guard to run.
I read a nice article on the heels saying that the new guy was better than advertised
He just so small I can’t see him as any defender at all. We’ll see. They have a brutal opening schedule

Schedule can’t be brutal if you’re worth a damn. Pre-season rankings useless, same as any other sport. Rank everyone when conference play starts.

Hubert couldn’t control the ego, drama, NIL and fall out last season. In my opinion, he failed overall. If he knew love was leaving or was the problem, he should’ve benched him. If he stood by him because he wanted to send the message that he doesn’t jump ship on upperclassmen that have dedicated their playing careers to UNC, then more power to him. Maybe it was some of both.

I don’t think last season was a reflection of how poor a coach he was, any more than his first season was a reflection of how good he was. All I really learned was just how important Brady Manek was.

Will be fun to see them get back to running and playing real basketball, we don’t need anymore UVA basketball. Effective, but I’d rather watch paint dry.

I think they rank teams when conference play starts. I guess the fluidity of rankings puzzles those expecting truth in October. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just can’t know what a team is made of until you’re 5-6 games in, 3 games in for football. I get it’s a media outlet, but it doesn’t mean anything.

It reflects current known quantities about a team. It’s not a predictor for April.
That’s left to the betting public.
Or that’s all I take from them anyway.

Can’t start soon enough. We have been waiting a long time to get the awful taste of last year out of our mouth.
It’ll all ride on Cadeau to some extent early, but a good backup plan there by shifting RJ back to point or play Trimble. I honestly expect them to be very good, the best team they’ve had in the last 5 years for sure.

I expect all the same things. I am looking forward to getting back to running and gunning. So much potential for this team. They could easily be a final 4 team and just as easily could not gel and be left out. Way too much talent to not be good though.

Do you think the writers and coaches are just gunshy for being so wrong about them last year......or, do you think they see something (or, don't see something) everyone else does/doesn't?

Just wondering why they're not in the top 20.

I think they need a storyline and they’re starting a freshman PG, but the tools are definitely there. You’ve got too many proven players, although new lineups, for them not to be solid.

I don’t think they were wrong about them last year, I think that team totally fell apart for whatever reasons.

UNC probably shouldn't be in the top 25 until they actually show some life this year. We will know who they are by Christmas.

Carolina went 20-13 last season and missed the tournament in a year they were wildly overrated in worthless preseason polls based on 10 game stretch then tournament run the year before. They were 16-7 prior to that run in 2021-22 and on pace to miss the tournament that year as well.

If anyone screwed up it's the voters that ranked a UNC team that just happened to get hot at the right time.

Teams don't rank themselves.

ACC Title and 30 wins would be better. Nothing will beat K last game being a loss to UNC in the Final Four though. That’s rare air in a rivalry.
It will surely be hard to ever get past that level of euphoria in our lifetime. And as bad as we hated the old rate we miss him much more than we disliked him.

Man I truly am sorry your life is so miserable you can only get joy from others failures. Hopefully you can get some help and make a friend at some point in your life.

UNC fans are fortunate that there have been way more highs than lows and we get to look back at those with joy. Some fans have never had a single thing to cheer for in their teams existence so their best moments are when successful teams lose or have an off year.

Hell, don't hog all the fun. Looking back on last year's UNC team brings me TREMENDOUS joy.

I'm sure it does, and that shows just how GREAT UNC's history is.

You could take UNC's performance from any single decade since the 80's alone and 90% of programs would DREAM of having that success in their entire program much less a single decade. That success is why lesser teams hate so much.

Now don't go speaking for everyone on this board, I'm sure quite a few NCSU fans would beg to differ :ROFLMAO:.

I think we could make a post on this forum about selling sand to camels and you would figure out how to bash unc basketball in it 😂😂😂
You have your favorite memories.....and I have mine :)

I didn't go to UNC or Duke....so, I'm not emotionally invested in either.

You have to be invested in unc athletics…..you talk more about them than I do and I am a fan. Unc basketball lives rent free in your mind much like Mack brown lives rent free in mine 😂
