Yeah, I mean, I think those two interior players, you know, they can certainly attack inside and they do a they do a pretty good job of getting you into isolation situations.

They're not an isolation team, but they can attack matchups and they'll certainly look to do that with with Wilson and Vessar.

You know, Carolina's not, they shoot the ball overall better than they did last year, but they're not a, you know, a knockdown shooting team.

Duke's better.

You know, you got 0-9.

You're like, nobody's beating that team.

Stuff like that.

There are certain times that happens, but in the quote unquote normal year that you have a Duke Carolina game,
