Roy Williams' squad has not exactly meshed into the young and talented top 15 type group that a lot of people have predicted. The Tar Heels at times have looked like the underachieving mess of last season. But with that said more times than not UNC does show they have a solid enough upside with a young potential superstar in Harrison Barnes along with guys like Larry Drew, John Henson, Tyler Zeller and a few others. I'm not at all saying that traveling down south to Miami is going to be easy but I do believe that the Heels are clearly the more talented team that should win this game and make it six victories in their last seven games.
Miami is all right and the Hurricanes do possess quality guard play. Durand Scott and Malcolm Grant can shoot the three and are definitely formidable and especially so at home but the 'Canes are just not very good overall. Miami is 12-7 overall and 1-4 in the ACC after losing four of the last five games and average at the very best. I will give the Hurricanes credit for pretty much staying in the majority of games and fighting until the end, win or lose, but once again things should not go their way. They have lost a lot of close games and I can see this being another example of just that.
North Carolina at times is no better than tonight's opponent and the road is never easy but the Heels pretty much have the better everything and at around a pick is the clear-cut way to go in my book.
