And they're both high level rebounders.

They both average nine, 10 rebounds a game.

So I think the real strength of Carolina's team is in their front court, especially in those two guys.

They play a lot of minutes.

You know, but Carolina is a low foul team and a low turnover team.

Duke is not a high turnover forcing team, although I think they're one of the three best defensive teams in the country.

In this game, I think you could probably say there are times when Carolina goes up and down defensively.

with, uh, efforts, the wrong word, but sort of, you know, how hard they play together.

And an example of that would be sort of the end of the Syracuse game.

I mean, they were bludgeoning Syracuse and they kind of let them back in at where Hubert Davis had to put the starters back in at the end.

He probably didn't have to, but it was a prudent thing to do.

But when they, in this game, uh, you know, the Duke Carolina game, um,

the opponent is always going to get the best version of the other.

And, you know, so whatever you may see on film that you say, okay, well, this guy doesn't run this or he doesn't, he doesn't run the floor as hard as you.

That's not the team you're going to get in this game.

So whatever the best version of each, each team is, that's what we're going to see.

But, and Carolina's best version is, is, is pretty good.

And, and it's certainly better than it was last year.

and I think they're capable of playing with just about anybody.

I don't think they're as good as Arizona or Michigan, but they can beat a lot of people, and if they play their best, they're good enough to beat Duke.
