"We have tried to get him involved in practice a little bit Saturday and a little bit Sunday, and he’s just not at the level that he can really push off the ankle and jump off that leg. It’s very questionable as to whether he’ll play tomorrow night. It would have to be, in my mind, a very significant improvement to be able to do that.”
Davis is the leading rebounder and shot blocker for the Tar Heels. He is second on the team in scoring. One of the things that made Smith so effective against Duke was that the Blue Devils did not double team him on the block. If the Tar Heels are without Davis, they will be missing his presence as a second defender.
One of the things that Davis does as well, if not better than most big men in the conference is the ability to rotate over and block or alter a shot as a second defender. Without him in the game, the Tar Heels may be forced to double-team Smith and leave the perimeter open. No doubt the red-hot Scott Wood will be waiting there.
I saw it and the Wear brothers are pretty damn good defensively. I capped the game without Davis. NC ST against DUKE was amazing for the fact they shot almost 60% for the whole game and caught DUKE on one of there worst shooting performances of the season. Will not happen in this game.
I am really not worried about turnovers in this game I honestly think we will protect the ball here. Roy is doing what every good coach does when things like this happen during a season and that is get back to the basics. From reading it sounds like they have had some of the best practices of the year this last week or so. Meaning they have actually played with a purpose in practice. Should be interesting but I think we make NC ST run and our defense will make a effort to step up in the 2nd half and put the clamp on.
I'm a tarheel fan myself and i can say this is the worst tarheel team in the williams era. fade until they can prove they can cover...
play BAYLOR -2.5, no one in the big 12 can cover on the road and K ST. has KANSAS on deck....
UAB -3.5
KENTUCKY -6.5, usually don't like playing ranked road favs, but this team is GOOD. they can play like shit and still cover....
safest plays on the board IMO

Its low but everyone should bet this game its a absolute steal i would make this a huge play if it didnt look so easy.
No one on this board can give me one good reason on taking SC in this spot besides it being a home game. Downey has to score 40-50 points...
The only way to take SC is if you want to look smart and fade the numbers. If the spread was 10 or 11 I would back SC. I think the books made this a short line on purpose and that is to get everyone confused here. I am not buying it and rolling with the team that is head and shoulders above everyone else at this point in the season.

Looks just like the St Joes/Penn game...
