And Carolina is great in the paint? Hansbrough is super, but Ed Davis and Deon Thompson are mediocre. Even soft ass Brian Zoubek will be able to stick one of them and Lance Thomas can guard the other. And with the style the Heels run, they don't utilize paint players anyway, so any advantage they have over Duke will be negligible. Their strength is in their guards. Hansbrough is icing on the cake.
If you want to say that they lack the post presence to go all the way, that's understandable, but that's a weak reason to say they'll get destroyed tonight.
