lowell, the line is consistent with power rankings, but i find it hard to believe that number won't bring an avalanche of tar heel money. that being said . . .
nc state +4: there, i got my fingers to type that despite my hands trembling. this is my first wolfpack play in almost two months. most around here remember the 20 point pasting that unc put on the pack a month ago in chapel hill, in a game that wasn't really that close and effectively over after the first 10 minutes. fast forward to today and the wolfpack find themselves playing out the string. last home game of the season before a couple of meaningless road games at wake and fsu, then a game or two in the acc tourney and a long offseason to think about what happened. but - one reachable and enormously satisfying goal remains for the pack in this forgettable season, and that is a win today that will burst the heels' bubble and send them off to the ignominy of the nit. that is a worthy and noble goal, and if keatts can't dial this team in on that and get a good effort today then maybe its time for us to look elsewhere for leadership.
