All it means is that it's a good matchup for KU and if we can take advantage we should win. But KU has been so inconsistent with effort this year it's hard to say whether we will take advantage.

I stole this from over at the phog. I know most of this know all of this, but it's still kind of cool to see it all lined up. I think you could even add in that Wilt was so devastated by the loss to Carolina in the '57 title game that he wouldn't return to KU until being invited back to have his jersey retired for the 100th anniversary by Roy Williams.
It's interesting to see the way the history of these two great programs has interwoven through the years. Here's a little timeline to display the history. 1891: James Naismith invents the game of basketball. 1898-1907: Naismith serves as the first head basketball coach at the University of Kansas. 1904-1906: Phog Allen plays under Naismith at Kansas. 1907-1909: Naismith stops coaching and Allen serves as Kansas' second head basketball coach before leaving on a medical school hiatus. 1919: Allen returns to be the head coach at Kansas. 1951-1954: Emporia native Dean Smith plays basketball under Allen. He then serves as an assistant head coach during the '53-'54 season. 1961: Smith is named the head coach at the University of North Carolina. 1961-1963: Larry Brown plays under Smith at North Carolina. 1978-1988: Roy Williams serves as an assistant coach under Smith at North Carolina. 1980-1984: Matt Doherty plays for Smith at North Carolina. 1983: Brown is named the head coach at Kansas. 1985-1986: Bill Self serves as a graduate assistant under Brown. 1988: Williams is named the head coach at Kansas following Brown's departure for the NBA. 1992-1999: Doherty serves as an assistant coach at Kansas under Williams. 2000: Doherty is named the head coach at North Carolina. 2003: Doherty resigns at North Carolina. Williams departs Kansas to take the head coaching job at North Carolina. Self accepts the head coaching job at Kansas.

UNC is not awesome. They haven't beat anybody very good. Their personnel are down some. But they have personnel setup that has given us problems in the past. This team should beat them pretty hard. But they've laid so many eggs it's hard to have any confidence at all. |

Unc is 0-6 vs rpi top 25. KU is 5-1. If unc won today it would be a surprise. Vegas favors KU by 6.

I'll go ahead and say I expect a great effort from the team today. And if that's the case I think we win by double digits. I'll say KU by 12.
But, that's why they play the games. |

Last year though, losing our starting point guard and having to use a player that is on a redshirt year because he is on a mission trip is not an own game... This year we have an unranked team that I thought would not even make the NIT about 15 games ago... they are better now but there is no pressure whatsoever on us, no one is picking us to win... |
